Edgar Berlanga destroyed Jonathan Gonzalez-Tariz on Saturday night in Orlando in a round attack. Berlanga didn’t even want the race and made it clear. The 27 -year -old did a quick job of the opponent who was well outside his league.
If you missed it here is the demolition of Gonzalez-Tariz’s Berlanga:
It didn’t take much time to see that Gonzalez-Tortiz had no job in the ring with Berlanga. Was completely outdated. The battles like this are hard to watch when a fighter has no chance of the bell.
I talked to Berlanga in front of the race and seemed seemingly on his spot on the card as an undercard performer behind Austin “Ammo” Williams and the level of the opponent he faced.
‘At the moment I have to go there and scan the floor with him [Gonzalez-Ortiz]
. I just finished a big, big race, fighting in a legend. Everyone knows what kind of level is it. It’s not at my level. We don’t overlook anyone, but I just have to go out there and handle my business. ”
Sometimes a fighter will say that their opponent is not at their level and is an amateur. When Berlanga told me that Our interviewI knew he meant it.
Following his unanimous loss of decision at Canelo Alvarez, Berlanga thought he deserved to be a big name and execute a major event. He wanted to fight Caleb Plant or Jaime Munguia, but instead he was with Gonzalez-Oriz.
‘It’s disrespectful,’ Berlanga said Ifl. “It is disrespect for me. It is disrespect for my fans. I go to this ring and I am struggling. I gave people out of this world with Canelo Alvarez. [Jaime]
Munguia or Caleb Plant. ”
Berlanga’s lack of interest may have shown that it leads to the race like he lost weight by 1.6 kg. Clearly, the race took place and Berlanga did not need the additional preparation to overcome Gonzalez-Tariz.
Prior to the match, Berlanga negotiated Barbs with the supporter of the Eddie Hearn race, and with Saturday’s race being the last for the former contract, it seems that the relationship is in trouble and the signature is far from a preliminary conclusion.
Berlanga was originally scheduled to focus on a match in Puerto Rico on March 8, 2025, but instead, Matchroom put him in the reception Co-Main for the March 15th card under Williams against Volny. This is the move that Berlanga is considered a “disrespectful”.
It seems that Berlanga wanted to fight badly in Puerto Rico “in front of his people”. Apparently he got the switch personally.
Hearn, on the other hand, has defended the efforts of the race With Berlanga’s career. Hearn pointed out that Berlanga won $ 12 million in three matches with Matchroom-including a high-profile match against Canelo in September 2024. Hearn insisted that Matchroom held the end of the deal and remained true to the contract.
In any case, Berlanga is a seemingly free agent and I’m not sure who got the worst of this test. One thing is for sure, everyone had a better night than Gonzalez-Torziz.
