I think we can all stop treating Berlanga like he's a top prospect. He benefits from being in a pretty weak division, but won't make it far enough up the ladder to find out. He's a plodder that can't even cut off the ring. And when you get the ESPN crew to bail on you the way they have, that really says something. Zayas has more upside and should be headlining that June date if they're just gonna match them both against journeymen with decent records anyway? Can't imagine TR will send Berlanga in with anyone of note right now....
I watched Berlanga and saw nothing but need to improve, I watched Rocha and saw someone beat a fighter who is limited but could be dangerous by accident more so then skill, some unorthodox fighters have that style as a skill others like Cobbs just are that way bc (?) Sunnyboy did nothing much to up his game as far as interesting and his shout out the Martinez is a loss waiting to happen. There are a few other fighters and fights I will check out later possibly but no rush. Hope all enjoyed the fights fortunate to have them and a place to kick around lead ups and results here........
Cobb showed heart, but was out matched. Berlanga still has that KO Power that can’t be taught. But he desperately needs a new corner and the Munguía like Retro Fit to go along with it. You also have to wonder if prospects no longer developing off of TV in a streaming world, has hurt some of them like Berlanga. He would be best served to work on his craft in the dark. Rather than always chasing highlight reel KO’s. But streaming services like ESPN+, DAZN, etc. need content. So that’s unlikely in today’s TV landscape.
