Good performance from young Xander Zayas. Doesn’t appear to be a big puncher. But he showed some nice punch selection and variety on offense.
Berlanga isn’t the Chosen One. He’s simply just not it. Zayas is the island’s only hope to become the next champion.
It's safe to say Berlanga is not the next Trinidad or even the next Cotto. He has good power but lacks skill. Power can only get you so far. They need to stop comparing him to Puerto Rican greats. At this point Kermitt Cintron is a better fighter than Berlanga.
Seems that way unfortunately. He's still young and the potential is definitely there but it seems more and more that he's a limited can opener instead of a Tysonesque figure. Kermit Cintron might be a reasonable comparison of what we should expect of him
I think Cintron was a damn sight better than Berlanga. Kermit wasn't great, but he was hardly going life and death, almost losing to the likes of Coceres.
Cintron was a front runner, no doubt. But he was a much more fluid fighter than Berlanga. More talented for sure.
Not that I thought much of Cobbs but after the beating Rocha gave Cobbs last weekend it's scary and comical to think what Boots would've done to Cobbs. Unfortunately this video shows what boxing has turned into. Social media has given tomato cans a voice.
