Comments Thread For: Edgar Berlanga Tested in Unanimous Decision Win Over Alexis Angulo

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Keith Idec - NEW YORK - Edgar Berlanga went the distance again Saturday night. Unlike his unanimous-decision victory over Steve Rolls nearly three months ago, though, this time the popular Puerto Rican super middleweight went 10 hard rounds against a dangerous puncher that kept him honest right up until the final bell sounded in the main event of a nine-fight card at Madison Square Garden's Hulu Theater. The scorecards read as if their fight wasn't competitive, as judges Ken Ezzo (99-91) and Don Trella (99-91) gave Berlanga nine rounds apiece and Bernard Bruni credited the unbeaten Brooklyn native for winning eight rounds (98-92).

Berlanga, born in Brooklyn and whose family hails from Puerto Rico, takes the top spot on the eve of New York's Puerto Rican Day Parade. A popular ticket-seller with fearsome knockout power, Berlanga (19-0, 16 KOs) hopes a win over the crafty Colombian gets him closer to a world title shot.

Berlanga better be on his A game or there is a chance he gets sparked out

This fight will tell us a lot about Berlanga right now he's stuck at B-/B level but to his defense he's at that level purely on talent. Kid didn't learn anything first 16 fights now let's see if he can take the lessons, he learned from the past 3 fights and graduate to the next level.

Angulo carries a lot of power himself but lost his biggest fights. Edgar Berlanga most bring his A game so he doesn't pull an upset.

WAR BERLANGA!!!! I feel edgar gets the stoppage tonight. Angulo came in almost 2lbs over weight and hes on the wrong side of 30, most likely fighting for one last check.
