Caleb Plant coach Stephen Edwards says he doesn’t think a fight between him and Edgar Berlanga will perform. He listened to Berlanga (23-01, 18 KB) saying: “F *** Caleb Plant”, after his victory in the first round over Jonathan Gonzalez-Ortiz on March 15, and he took this to signify that he was not interested.
Money mentality first
Berlanga in fact declared in an interview that the plant was not what he wanted. He wants Jaime Munguia or Jermall Charlo. He feels that beating one of these guys will be the golden ticket to get a revenge match with Canelo Alvarez. This is the fight that Berlanga has spoken constantly. He had “The bag “ Fight Canelo last September and wants a second help.
Edgar knows that killers as plants, Osleys Iglesias, David Benavidez, Diego Pacheco and Christian Mbilli would be too risky for him to achieve his goal. It is therefore the elderly, inactive and not motivated 35 -year -old jermall and the recent Munguia twice.
If boxing had its act together, fighters like Berlanga should pass the glove through all the best contenders to obtain a title shot against Canelo. As we saw with Berlanga, he didn’t have to do that. So that Edgar gets “the bag”, he only had to beat these three:
– Padraig McCRORY
– Jason Quigley
– Roamer Alexis Angulo
“I did not hear him call Caleb. Millcity boxing About Edgar Berlanga not calling the Caleb factory after his victory against Jonathan Gonzalez-Ortiz last week. “I did not hear him say:” I want to fight the Caleb factory “. He said “F *** Caleb Plant”, and he kept saying. It is not a call. “”
Berlanga certainly did not call a factory after his fight against Gonzalez-Ortiz. When he was interviewed, he said on several occasions: “F *** Caleb Plant”. When he was asked who he wanted to fight, Berlanga said: “Jaime Munguia and Jermall Charlo.” Fans did not listen to her and wrongly thought he was doing the plant’s battery. Same CV manufactured Like him.
Munguia was twinned against scrubs all his career until he obtained the wage struggle against Canelo Alvarez last May, which he lost by a unilateral decision at 12 laps. In his latest fight, Munguia fought an unknown, Bruno Surace, who had an undefeated record filled without name. Surprisingly, Mungua was eliminated. Just because Surace is good. He lost because he was just a thickening work from the first day.
Requirements on the A
“I saw Berlanga be less than Eddie Hearn for not having made the fight of William Scull. I understand why he was upset. I think he and Caleb will have problems making their fight. Edgar believes that he is a bigger star and he will want the most money.
“The Caleb factory was a world champion before and had reigning defenses. [with Scull]. “”
Stephen was wrong. Berlanga said the reason he wanted to fight the IBF Super Middleweight Scull champion is because he thought it was a safe victory, and that he could use the title as a lure to get a revenge match with a unified champion with three doubts Canelo Alvarez. Berlanga made $ 10 million in his fight against Canelo last September, and he wants a quick revenge match to obtain a similar salary.
The money he earns against other fighters is much less. So, if Berlanga had beaten Scull, Canelo would fight him again to capture the fourth belt so that the indisputable championship of average weights on the line for his fight against Terence Crawford in September. As much as the boxing public would hate to see a revenge match between Canelo and Berlanga, it would always happen. It is not now, because Berlanga did not have the fight with Scull.
Benavidez fear
“Edgar has never fought Benavidez, and I don’t think this fight would never happen. I don’t think it would happen now because Benavidez is a little too much for Berlanga. They could have fought, but he [Berlanga] went after Canelo because he is a super big star [allowing Edgsr to get a big payday].
“Edgar has one of the best boxing managers in Keith Connolly. This guy knows what he is doing, and he won’t let Edgar Fight Benavidez. Edgar is a good fighter, but do you see the fights that Benavidez takes? These are difficult fights. They. [Berlanga] would not fight him because they would lose, and that would ruin his brand a little. This is something that loses Canelo by decision.
“You could say that he was not experienced enough. Losing Benavidez with a brutal beat or a glance, it would simply not be good for his brand, especially in a fight that he does not have to take. So, I do not see him fighting him,” said Stephen.
Berlanga probably combat Benavidez at some point, but only for money, not because he thinks he can win or deserves a fight. If Berlanga went to 175, he will face the sweet opposition on which he built his record from 23-1 to 168 and will seek the big salary.
The guy is so predictable with the way his direction corresponds to him. He never fought a high level before fighting against Canelo last September, and now that he lost, he returned to fight the tomato cans on which he built his manufactured record.
