Sheeraz reveals Canelo Delusion in Berlanga
Berlanga (23-1, 18 Kos) painted an exciting picture of the war in the interview, but Sheeraz said it was not a great performance. Edgar’s only round of active battles was in Game 12, and by then it was too late.
Sheeraz (21-0-1, 17 KOS) and Berlanga became titles in a 12-round super-fight on July 12 DAZN PPV at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York.
Turki Alalshikh recently said on X he would “It’s very frustrated” If Sheeraz loses to Berlanga through the knockout round, because he has “Big Plan” For others, Turki wants to fight Hamzah against Canelo next February.
As Berlanga decides losses on 12-round unilateral rounds against Canelo in 2024, he is not the one Turki can use as an opponent.
Berlanga’s false canelo narrative
“He did a great job. But the perception he had in the fight, I didn’t see. He said he stood on his toes with him.” DAZN Boxingtalks about how Edgar Berlanga struggled in a 2024 defeat to Canelo Alvarez.
“Everyone knows it. No one says anything.”
Berlanga tries to make his battle with Canelo look like a toe war, which is crazy because that’s not that. The entire battle is on YouTube and you can see Berlanga timidly walking on the eggshell from round 1 to round 11. He only worked hard on the 12th, and even in that round, Canelo got better. Berlanga’s huge scale and youth advantage did not help him.
“It all depends on winning, did you win?” Sheeraz said. “That’s the reality.”
Berlanga’s delusional struggle view
“Look at Arturo Gatti and Ward,” Berlanga said.
“So, are you saying that your battle (with Canelo) is like that?” Sheeraz said.
“I didn’t say that,” Belanga said.
What is Berlanga talking about? His battle with Canelo is completely different from the ones that happened with Arturo Gatti and Micky Ward. on the contrary. Berlanga scored most of the battles into the game and did a great job in losing.
Surprisingly, Turki still chose to use him as an opponent to fight Hamzah Sheeraz, rather than one of the talented contenders at 168, such as Christian Mbilli or Osleys Iglesias. These two fighters are much better than Berlanga. However, they are not New Yorkers and will not sell tickets or buy PPVs on DAZN. However, tickets are not for sale, which suggests that the Berlanga is not a good attraction. Turki made a mistake with him.
