Berlanga seemed to be fighting with his hood outfit during his time on stage and seemed I was trying to hide His face while interviewed by the promoter of the party room Eddie Hearn. It was very strange. Berlanga had said a lot this week in the interviews about being unhappy with his slot on the billboard and how she left Matchroom. Was he hidden from Hearn? It was so strange to see.
Edgar, Native of Brooklyn, New York, says he expects a great demand for his services in the free agents market, similar to the interest of the late basketball star Kobe Bryant. If there is not a stammer of makers for him, Hearn will probably welcome him among the fold.
Dreams of “Superstar”
Berlanga must perform well in this fight because he faces a lower level type with marginal power, who recently came out of ten years. Even when Jonathan González-Ortiz was fighting before in his career, he didn’t look so impressive. Now, at 35, he will be overcome in this fight. I don’t know where Hearn found it or why they are using it.
Berlanga (22-1, 17 ko) was empty in his challenge of the title against the unified medium weight champion Canelo Álvarez last September in Las Vegas. Then, he is beginning what he expects to be a new undefeated streak that face the Puerto Rican native González-Ortiz (21-0-1, 16 kos) in the slot of the chest on the Austin ‘Ammo’ Williams vs. card card. Patrice Volny. The event will be shown Live in Dazn.
Jonathan González-Ortiz: “I am about to compensate for the lost time in boxing. I still feel physically well, and my team also believes in me. This is a great fight for Puerto Rico. Two warriors who go to the ring on Saturday, ”said González-Ortiz during today Final Press Conference.
Eddie Hearn: “Edgar, welcome again. You know what this man will be about. Puerto Rico Hard. A great opportunity for him, a difficult path, but focused on the return this Saturday night, which led to the big fights in the summer. But first, businesses to take care of Orlando. “
Edgar Berlanga: I returned after a mega big, big and big fight against Canelo. We are looking to leave and shine like a star on Saturday. Salt and act and look good. I am fighting another Puerto Rican from Puerto Rico. So. I know it comes with the best of itself, and gives everything. “
Hearn: “You are going with a great fight with Canelo Álvarez. You earned more fans that night, and fighting at that level makes you even more hungry to return there. Suddenly, you are hunted there. This guy has the opportunity to change his life to try to move towards the type of fights that are expected to be in the summer. How important is it for you to do the job on Saturday night?
Berlanga: “I am locked right now. This is a little show for me. I just have to go out and shine like a star. Salt and manage the business and get big fights. I am not overlooking this man. He comes to win. He is Puerto Rican and has the Puerto Rican blood in him. So, I know it comes to fight. It does not come to run through the ring and try to survive. You will try to try a point. I just want everyone to know that it will be a bloodbath. “
Hearn: “The type of fight you want. You want someone to come to fight to adapt to Edgar Berlanga perfectly. “
Berlanga: “1000%, that is what we want, a real fight. Obviously, I was 12 rounds, finger with canelo without running, without grabbing, without enduring or anything. I stopped in front of his face and went for 12 rounds. I am looking for the same result but somewhat different on Saturday. That is me winning and I look good. “
Hearn: “We expect a war in this. Puerto Rico in the house with Edgar Berlanga against Jonathan González. They do not blink to 168 pounds. A great fight to Edgar Berlanga to move on to those mega fights in the summer, and a great opportunity for this man, Jonathan González. “
