Berlanga seemed to wrestle with his Hood outfit on stage throughout his time, and it looked as if he was trying to hide his face while interviewing Eddie Hearn by the matchroom promoter. It was very bizarre.
Berlanga had said a lot in interviews this week that he was dissatisfied with his Untercard slot and how he left the matchroom. Did he hide from Hearn? The way he covered his face looked like a bouquet of ostrich, put his head in the ground and threw after worms.
The New York native in Brooklyn expects Edgar an enormous demand for his services on the Free Agent Market, similar to the interest in the deceased basketball star Kobe Bryant. If it turns out that he does not give a rush of customers for him, Hearn will probably welcome him back in the fold.
“Superstar” dreams
Berlanga has to do well in this fight because he faces a lower man with rim power who recently held out of ten years of discharge. Even when Jonathan Gonzalez-Ortiz used to fight in his career, he didn’t look so impressive. Now, at the age of 35, this fight is exceeded. I don’t know where Hearn found him or why they use it.
Berlanga (22-1, 17 Kos) rose last September in Las Vegas in his title challenge against the Unified Super Middleweight Champion Canelo Alvarez. So, what he hopes to start a new unbeaten strand against the Puertorican Gonzalez-Ortiz (21-0-1, 16 KOS) in the co-feature slot of Austin ‘Munmo’ Williams Vs. Patrices Volny card. The event is shown live on dazn.
Jonathan Gonzalez-Ortiz: “It’s about compensating for lost time in boxing. I still feel physically good and my team also believes in myself. This is a great fight for Puerto Rico. Two warriors who go into the ring on Saturday, ”said Gonzalez-Ortiz in today’s Last press conference.
Eddie Hearn: “Edgar, welcome back. You know what this man will be about. Puertorican hard. A great chance for him, a hard road, but concentrated on the comeback on this Saturday evening, which led to the big fights in summer. But first to take care of the business in Orlando. “
Edgar Berlanga: I am back after a big, big, big mega fight against Canelo. We want to go out there and shine like a star on Saturday. Go out and play up and look good. I fight against another Puertorican from Puerto Rico. So. I know he comes with his best and gives everything. “
Hearn: “You have a big fight with Canelo Alvarez. You won more fans that night and it makes you even hungry to return there. Suddenly they are hunting out there. This type has the opportunity to change his life to try to get into the kind of fights that you will expect in summer. How important is it to you to do the job on Saturday evening? “
Berlanga: “I’m just locked up. This is a little show for me. I just have to go out and shine like a star. Go out and go with shops and get the big fights. I’m not overlooking this man. He comes to win. He is Puertorican and he has the Puertorican blood in him. So I know that he is fighting. He doesn’t come to walk around and survive through the ring. He will try to prove a point. I just want everyone to know that it will be a bloodbath. “
Hearn: “The kind of fight you want. You want someone who fights that fits Edgar Berlanga perfectly. “
Berlanga: “1000%, we want that, a real fight. Obviously I went 12 laps, toes on foot with Canelo without running, without gripping, without holding or having nothing. I stood in front of his face and made it 12 laps. I’m looking for the same result, but something else on Saturday. It wins and I look good. “
Hearn: “We expect a war in this. Puerto Rico in the house with Edgar Berlanga against Jonathan Gonzalez. Do not blink at 168 lbs. A big fight for Edgar Berlanga to draw these mega fights in summer, and a great chance for this man, Jonathan Gonzalez. “
