Edwards on the demands of ‘A-Side’ of Berlanga: Clay of Star of Star, Title Lure and the avoidance of Benavidez explained

Caleb Plant coach Stephen Edwards says he does not believe that a fight between him and Edgar Berlanga occurs. He listened to Berlanga (23-01, 18 kos) saying: “F *** Caleb Plant”, after his first-round knockout victory over Jonathan González-Oortiz on March 15, and took that so that he is not interested.

Chasing effective

Berlanga actually said in an interview that the plant is not whoever wants. Jaime Munguia or Jermall Charlo wants. He feels that beating one of those guys will be the gold ticket to get a rematch with Canelo Álvarez. That is the fight on which Berlanga has been speaking incessantly. He got the “Big bag “ Fight Canelo last September and wants a second help.

Edgar knows that the murderers such as Plant, Osley Iglesias, David Benavidez, Diego Pacheco and Christian Mbilli would be too risky for him to achieve his goal. Then, he is the old and inactive Jermall Charlo, 35, and the recent twice between Munguia.

“I didn’t hear him call Caleb. I heard him say: ‘F *** Caleb Plant’,” said coach Stephen Edwards for Millcity boxing About Edgar Berlanga not calling Caleb Plant after his victory over Jonathan González-Ortiz last week. “I didn’t hear it say: ‘I want to fight Caleb Plant’. He said ‘F *** Caleb Plant’, and kept saying it. That is not a call. “

Berlanga definitely did not call the plant after his fight against González-Ortiz. When he was interviewed, he said repeatedly: ‘F *** Caleb Plant. “When asked who wants to fight, Berlanga said:” Jaime Munguia and Jermall Charlo “. Fans did not listen to him and thought that he was promoting the fighting of plants. same curriculum manufactured Like him.

Munguia has been paired against Scrubs all his career until he had the fight of the day of payment against Canelo Álvarez last May, which lost for a unilateral decision of 12 rounds. In his last fight, Munguia fought against an unknown guy, Bruno Surace, who had an undefeated history full of names. Surprisingly, Mucha was knocked out. It is not because Surace is good. He lost because it was just a hub work from day one.

Side demands

“I saw Berlanga being insecure with Eddie Hearn for not making William Scull’s fight. I understand why he was upset. I think he and Caleb will have problems fighting. Edgar believes that he is a bigger star and that he wants more money. Caleb believes that it is better than Edgar, and he is a bigger star and wants the greatest amount of money.

“Caleb Plant was a world champion before and had title defenses. When you are sitting and having negotiations, all those things appear as to who is going to be the side A and who is going to be side B. I can see why Edgar was angry and Eddie Hearn because he wants to be a world champion because if he gets a world title, Caleb cannot throw that and be the face A-side.

Stephen was wrong. Berlanga said that the reason he wanted to fight against the FIB medium weight champion, William Scull, is because he believed it was a safe victory, and could use the title as a lure to get a rematch with the unified three -belt champion Canelo Alvarez. Berlanga won $ 10 million in his fight against Canelo last September, and wants a quick rematch to obtain a similar payment day.

The money you are earning against other fighters is much lower. Then, if Berlanga had defeated Scull, Canelo would fight him again to capture the fourth belt to have the indisputable super medium weight championship at stake for his fight against Terence Crawford in September. As much as the boxing public would hate seeing a rematch between Canelo and Berlanga, it would still happen. However, now he will not, because Berlanga did not get the fight with Scull.

Benavidez Fear

“Edgar never fought against Benavés, and I don’t think that fight is once.

“Edgar has one of the best managers in boxing in Keith Connolly. That guy knows what he is doing, and he will not let Edgar fight with Benavész. Edgar is a good fighter, but you see that the Benavász fights are taking the difficult fights. They (Berlanga) would fight him because they would lose, and they would ruin his brand.

“You could say that I didn’t have enough. Losing Benavész for a brutal beating or a knockout, simply would not be good for his brand, especially in a fight he doesn’t have to take. Then, I don’t see him fighting him,” Stephen said.

Berlanga will probably fight Benavidez at some point, but only for money, not because they think he can win or deserve a fight. If Berlanga rises to 175, he will face the soft opposition that he would build his 23-1 record in 168 and look for the big day of payment.

The guy is very predictable with the way his management is matching it. He never fought against anyone at first level before fighting Canelo last September, and now that he has lost, he returned to fight in tomato cans in which he built his manufactured record.
