Edgar Berlanga believes he can get a rematch against Canelo Alvarez inside a yr and a half. He says he’ll beat Jaime Munguia, then capture one in all the titles at super middleweight, after which face Canelo (62-2-2, 39 KOs) for the undisputed. Berlanga has little interest in fighting Caleb Plant because he thinks that a fight between him and Munguia will do big PPV numbers.
It’d take greater than Berlanga beating Munguia and capturing one in all the belts for him to get a second fight against Canelo. He could have to beat the likes of Caleb Plant, Diego Pacheco, and Osleys Inglesias along with defeating Munguia to get a rematch with Canelo.
The best way Berlanga is talking, he thinks he can take this backdoor path to a second fight against Canelo like he did to get the title shot in the primary place. He didn’t beat anyone good during his profession, constructing a 22-0 record.
He was a textbook definition of a fighter with a manufactured record, as he didn’t must undergo a series of tough fights to earn the title shot. To get “the bag” from Canelo, Berlanga beat two British fighters, Jason Quigley and Padraig McCory.
He’d likely have never gotten the shot if Berlanga had not needed to beat good opponents like Plant, Inglesias, Munguia, and Pacheco. Canelo didn’t hold it against Berlanga that he’d never fought good opposition because if he had told him to earn it by fighting some or all of those fighters, he’d have never done it.
Berlanga (22-1, 17 KOs) lost to Canelo by a 12-round unanimous decision on September 14th on the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The fight wasn’t that close with the judges scoring it 118-109, 117-110 and 118-109.
“I do know we are able to get that rematch in a yr and a half, and I do know for a undeniable fact that I can beat him needless to say,” said Edgar Berlanga to Sways Universe about his belief that he’ll get a rematch against Canelo Alvarez in a yr and a half.
It’s highly doubtful that Berlanga will ever get a rematch with Canelo, and he won’t beat him. He was badly overmatched of their fight, and that won’t change.
“This was my first world title fight. It was a unification. It might have been for undisputed,” said Berlanga. “At once, Caleb [Plant] is on the radar, but straight away, I would like Munguia. That fight with PPV numbers and the gate. He’s a giant attract Mexico. You saw me and Canelo. We just did history. Me and Munguia would do the identical thing,” said Berlanga.
Berlanga may have to fight Plant if Canelo isn’t awed by a win for him over Munguai. If Canelo chooses to disregard Berlanga, he’ll must proceed to fight in good opposition until he agrees to fight him.
If Berlanga fights Munguia, he’s going to be in for a really tough match-up because Jaime is a greater fighter offensively than him. Munguia isn’t the scale of Berlanga, but his talent is superior to his, and so is his experience.
“After I beat him, I would like that rematch [with Canelo Alvarez]. I feel we had an important fight. He’d got a whole lot of respect for me now,” said Berlanga. “He saw the numbers we did. It was an important fight from round one to round twelve. I actually imagine he’ll give me one other shot.
“I feel I’ll must go on the market and capture a world title. Just like the WBO if he releases the WBO or WBA. If I grab a title, I imagine we are able to make it occur. Next yr goes to be a giant yr. I’m a future PPV star. PPV King, the Face of Boxing,” said Berlanga.
I’m wondering if Berlanga truly believes what he’s saying about being a future PPV King and Face of Boxing. If he was that great, he wouldn’t have lost the best way he did against Canelo. He also would have taken the fight against David Morrell.
