Berlanga seems to be struggling on stage with his chopping outfit throughout his time and it seemed like he was trying to hide his face as he interviewed the match promoter Eddie Hearn. It was very bizarre.

Berlanga said a lot this week in interviews that he is unhappy with his under map slot and how he left the match room. Did he hide from Hearn? The way he covered his face looked like an ostrich bird and buried his head into the ground and rooted for worms.

Brooklyn’s native, New York, says Edgar, he expects a great demand for his services on the free agent market, similar to the interest in the late basketball star Kobe Bryant. If there is no bump of the people for him, Hearn will probably welcome him under the fold.

“SuperStar” dreams

Berlanga must perform well in this battle, as he stands in front of a lower level man with marginal power, who has recently come off a ten -year discharge. Even when Jonathan Gonzalez Orthiz fought earlier in his career, he didn’t look so impressive. Now, at 35, it will be too much in this battle. I don’t know where Hearn found him or why they use him.

Berlanga (22-1, 17 COs) came empty in his title challenge against the Unified Super Middleweight Champion Canelo Alvarez in Las Vegas. So he begins what he hopes a new unbeaten line against Puerto Rican native Gonzalez Organ (21-0-1, 16 COs) in the fellow Feature slot on the Austin ‘Ammo’ Williams vs Patrice Volny Card. The event will be shown Live on dazn.

Jonathan Gonzalez Organ: “I’m about making up for lost time in box. I still feel physically good, and my team believes in me too. This is a wonderful battle for Puerto Rico. Two warriors who go to the ring on Saturday, ”Gonzalez Orthiz said during today’s Final press conference.

Eddie Hearn: ‘Edgar, welcome back. You know what this guy is about. Puerto rican tough. A great opportunity for him, a difficult road, but focused on the comeback this Saturday night, which led to the big fights in the summer. But first, matters to care for Orlando. “

Edgar Berlanga: I’m back to a big, big, big mega fight against Canelo. We want to go there on Saturday and shine like a star. Go out and exercise and look good. I fight against another Puerto Rican from Puerto Rico. So. I know he comes with his best and gives it all. “

Hearn: ‘You come from a big fight with Canelo Alvarez. You have gained more fans that night, and to fight at that level makes you even more hungry to stop there. Suddenly you are the hunt out there. This man has the opportunity to change his life to try to move into the kind of battles that you are expected to be in the summer. How important is it for you to do the work on Saturday night? “

Berlanga: “I’m locked up now. It’s a small show for me. I just have to go out and shine like a star. Go out and handle business and get the big fights. I’m not looking at this man. He comes to win. He is Puerto Rikan, and he has the Puerto Rican blood in him. So I know he’s going to fight. He doesn’t come around the ring and try to survive. He’s going to try to prove a point. I just want everyone to know that it’s going to be a massacre. ‘

Hearn: “The kind of fight you want. You want someone who fits Edgar Berlanga perfectly. “

Berlanga: “1000%, that’s what we want, a real struggle. Obviously, I went 12 rounds, counter-tone with Canelo without running, no grab, no hold or nothing. I stood in front of his face and went 12 rounds there. I am looking for the same outcome, but something else on Saturday. It is I who win and I look good. “

Hearn: “We expect a war in this one. Puerto Rico in the house with Edgar Berlanga against Jonathan Gonzalez. Do not cut at 168 pounds. A big fight for Edgar Berlanga to move to the mega fighters in the summer, and a great opportunity for this man, Jonathan Gonzalez. “
