Edgar Berlanga (22-1, 17 costs) says if he doesn’t beat Jonathan Gonzalez Orthiz (20-0-1, 16 COs) in their ten round next month on March 15 Tree and work at Walmart. The event is displayed directly on Dazn. Berlanga is fighting against 35-year-old Gonzalez Orthiz in a rebuild on the bottom map of Austin ‘Ammo’ Williams against Patrice Volny in the Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida.
Walmart or win?
For Berlanga to make even a joke about retirement, it must cross his mind after his poor performance in his loss of Canelo Alvarez in September. He may now realize that there will be no re -broadcast, because he will have to work his way to the place by beating the top contenders. If Berlanga was not so rich, you would believe that he would stop and work at Walmart. Canelo Alvarez blessed him with a payday he didn’t deserve.
He didn’t do it last time. Even though Berlanga has cut through the top contenders and beat Diego Pacheco, Christian Mbilli and Osleys Iglesias, Canelo will not fight against him again. He got one fight and got a big payday of $ 10 million, and there will be no other.
Canelo gave Berlanga a free title shot and didn’t care that his resume was filled with bottom-level opposition from top to bottom. He got the title fight based on his popularity in Brooklyn and Puerto Rico.
Payday reality
Edgar is fighting on the bottom map in this battle. If that’s how it’s going to be to him from now on, you can’t blame him if he does step down. He will not get the same money as he came up. This is the first time Berlanga has not been a main liner in four years since 2021.
He was a chief fighter in his last five fights, and it would be a disappointment for him to be off the peak. However, you can understand it. Berlanga does not judge that he is in the headlist when he fights against Jonathan Gonzalez Organ. If he fought someone well, like Diego Pacheco, Hearn would help him, but it would be a bad battle for him because he would probably lose.
Berlanga’s career is on thin ice, no matter how good he looks against this man. He is unable to hit the top fighters in the 168 pound division. At best, he can get a payday again if his promoter, Eddie Hearn, can set him up in a fight against Jaime Munguia.
If Berlanga is not talented enough to hang with the top fighters on 168 or 175, his career will soon be over. After tasting the Canelo Alvarez money, he doesn’t want to stay around and collect smaller pay days against opposition without name as he fought.
If I don’t beat him out I will stop boxing and work in Walmart
