Edgar Berlanga remained surprisingly silent about his opponent, Hamzah Sheeraz, and chose to repeatedly eradicate at the promoter Oscar de la Hoya using explosions during today’s open workout for his fight against Hamzah Sheeraz on Saturday, July 12.
Berlanga Blats de la hoya
Berlanga said in the ring throughout the interview today, ‘F *** of the hoya.‘Berlanga (23-1, 18 CO’s) is still salt about De la Hoya who criticizes him for trying to pass himself as a Puerto Rican, despite being born in the US, and calling him a “Sub-PAR” Opponent for Canelo Alvarez when they fought last September.
Oscar turned out that Edgar was ‘sub-par’ because he looked terrible, and didn’t even try to win to lose a running 12-round decision against the Mexican star Canelo.
Surprisingly, Turki Alalshikh still chose to use Berlanga as a head liner against Sheeraz (21-0-1, 17 COs), although he has not saved himself in any way since the loss of Alvarez. Berlanga’s only battle since the loss was last March against Fury-Esque fighter Jonathan Gonzalez Organ.
Berlanga’s confidence before the fight
“I want to act and offer a good show. I want to shine with superstar status, look sharp and incredible, ‘says Edgar Berlanga during today’s Open workout To prepare for Saturday’s fight against Hamzah Sheeraz.
It is doubtful whether Berlanga will host a good performance on Saturday. If Sheeraz hits him in the first round, he goes into his shell like against Canelo, and only fights to survive.
Edgar is not the type of fighter who is willing to go out on his shield as warriors do. It wasn’t just the Canelo fight that scared Berlanga. He did the same against Roamer Alexis Angulo when he was hit hard by him early.
July 12: Berlanga’s show
“I know what I’m facing. I didn’t take this man lightly. I know what I had to do. 1000%. I’m aiming for it, ‘Berlanga told the media When asked if he wanted to fight the winner of Canelo Alvarez against Terence Crawford. ‘On July 12, I have to shine first.
There is virtually no chance that Turki Alalshikh Berlanga will use to fight the winner of the 13th September match between Canelo and Crawford. He would be affected by fans over the coals if he used Berlanga as the opponent.
“I’m talking to my ***, but I have to backup it. It forces me to act. ‘
