- Lack of expertise
- Poor technical boxing expertise
The Puerto Rican Berlanga has no expertise in opposition to real world-class opposition and struggled in opposition to the marginal competitors that his promoters have fastidiously chosen for him to keep up his unbeaten document.
Whereas they’ve completed their mission of protecting Berlanga unbeaten to get this massive payday in opposition to Canelo, he’s completely unprepared attributable to his lack of improvement and can doubtless lose after which fade into the space.
“He’s received to have the ability to use boxing expertise he doesn’t have, have a chin that he doesn’t have and have, and the expertise that he doesn’t have,” mentioned Caleb Plant to Ok.O.

Berlanga’s Lack of Growth

They appeared to again off from matching him in opposition to good opposition after he struggled in opposition to Roamer Alexis Angulo, Steve Rolls, Marcelo Coceres, and Demond Nicholson. These are second-tier however stable fighters, and Berlanga regarded horrible in opposition to all three.
It’s doable that they wished to make sure Berlanga stayed unbeaten with a faux document and hope that Canelo would decide him out attributable to his fanbase in New York Metropolis, who naively view him as a star fairly than a man with a manufactured document.
