Edgar Berlanga only blamed himself for being caught on a bottom map against Jonathan Gonzalez Organ Sortiz on Saturday, March 15 in the Caribe Royale Orlando, Florida.
The ‘comeback’ clause
The match promoter Eddie Hearn says Berlanga (22-1, 17 CO’s) wanted a ‘comeback battle’ “Was not a head event” In the event that he lost against Canelo Alvarez in September last year, which he did lose in a one -sided competition.
That would have made things a lot easier for Hearn and Dazn if Berlanga was prepared to take a tough opponent in his next fight. If he told Hearn that he wanted to find the best contender he could find that he could find Caleb plant would have been perfect for Dazn. Other options that would probably have worked well for Berlanga to:
– Osleys Iglesias
– David Morrell
– Christian Milli
– Diego Pacheco
The problem with the guys is that Berlanga would probably lose very bad for everyone, but at least he won’t have a grip to not be in the main event. Headlines should be ideal for being 50-50-kind matches. Taking an opponent at a Gimme level is not a main material. It is poison for the networks.
He is reportedly off the head, but it could be taken care of if Berlanga was prepared to get one of the above killers.
Plant berlanga will attract subscribers and be ideal for the stream network. But for Edgar to want a fighter at a non-headliner level, what did he expect Dazn and Hearn to do?
“When he was fighting against Canelo Alvarez, he wanted a comeback battle, and The Comeback battle was not even like a headT, ”says promoter Eddie Hearn to the media About what Edgar Berlanga asked for his contract on September 14 before his fight with Canelo Alvarez, he wanted an easy match if he lost to the Mexican star. ” If I knock, I want a chance for a quick win and then go into a big fight. ”
Easy fighting trap
You can’t expect them to put a mismatch in the main event. The Berlanga CV is littered with easy opponents, none of whom was copy material. Canelo is the only good one. The other 21 guys are scabby. You have to give Hearn a lot of credit for being able to set up a title shot for Berlanga against Canelo, as his resume was inflated from top to bottom.
Hearn says he tried to compile a deal with Dazn and Berlanga for him to go to Puerto Rico. It is claimed that the opponent is 39-year-old travel man Pink gabe (26-17-1, 15). Hearn says he has stopped doing a deal for too little time. So he chose for the original contract provision for Berlanga to be on the bottom map.
Hearn says this is the last battle of Berlanga of his contract with Matchroom, and he wants him to extend his contract, so he can match him with plant or Jermall Charlo. It is unclear whether he will.
Berlanga against Gonzalez Orthiz is the co-function on the Austin ‘Ammo’ Williams against Patrice Volny card this Saturday, March 15.
