Eddie Hearn: Sheeraz Must Survive Early Onslaught to Beat Berlanga

Promoter Eddie Hears Hamzah Sheeraz’s Best Hope’s Beating Super Middleweight Counter Edgar Berlanga Is To Drag Him Into Their Half In Their Clash on July 12th Dazn ppv.

Sheez (21-0-1, 17 kos) At 168 Against The Slugger Berlanga (23-1, 18 Kos) Next in Their 12-round headliner on the Event at The Louis Armstrong in Queens, New York.

Sheeraz Debut 168 Challenge

“I Feel Like Hamzah Moving Up to 168 Is Really Going To Help Him. Hamzah has a Very Good Ring IQ,” Said Eddie Hearn to DAZN BoxingPreviewing Next Month’s Super Middleweight Fight Between Edgar Berlanga and Hamzah Sheeraz in Queens, New York.

Moving Up to 168 Is Going To Make The Size and Power Advantage And Power Advantage That Ham-And-Eggers That Had Been Matching Him Against in His Early Days.

“Is it a Risky Fight for the First Fight at 168? Very is Very Explosive, and What Edgar Does, Is Throw With You. He’s Happy To Exchange You. Hamzah Can Punch As Well,” Said Hearn.

Sheeraz’s Power Might Be The Only Thing That Can Fight Him In This Fight HE Doesn’t Exchange With Berlanga, He’s Going To Be Reduced To Be Meteor Dust. This Fight has Early Knockout Written Written All Over.

“What My Worry is Quite Fast Hands in the Exchange, and I Think Hamzah Has Got To Be Carried Away, Lose His Shape, And Just Exchange with Edgar Because Edgar has got a lot of power.”

If Hamzah Doesn’t Exchange With Berlanga Early to His Respect, He’s Going To Get Knocked Out Right Away. Against A Big Puncher Like Edgar, You’re Got No Choice Because He’s A Knockout Artist Who Goes For The Kill Right Away.

Berlanga’s Sky-High Confidence

“I think edgar’s confidence right now is Sky-High. He fought Against Canelo Alvarez,” Said Hearn. “I thought he could make a lotion in a lot fur, but I think he’s Also got The Confidence To Go, ‘I Felt The Experience.”

The Way That Berght In The Late Rounds Against Canelo, and His First-Round Knockout Win Over Jonathan Gonzalez-Ortiz on March 15th, Did a Lot for Confidence. Sheeraz has chosen The Wrong Time for Him to Be Fighting Berlanga.

“You Saw in His Next Fight With Easy Opponent (Jonathan Gonzalez-Ortiz). Foodt Edgar Belanga A Couple of Fights (In 2023), “Said Hearn. “He Had Success in That Fight (Note: Berlanga Dropped Quigley Four Times).

I Have No Clue What Hearn is Talking About Here. Quigley Had Zero Success in Berlanga In 2023. Berlanga Dropped Quigley in Rounds 3, 5, and Twice. The Only Thing Positive That Fight Was Was Was Was And Take a Lot Of Heavy Punishment. Other Than That, It All Berlanga.

“So, It’s A Great Matchup. If You Have a New York, You’re Probably Go With Edgar Berlanga, But Hamzah Sheeraz Is Very Live in That Fight,” Said Hearn. “Edgar is aggressive Early. You could go out and get a cougle in Berlabga, You’re in Trouble. For Me, Once It Goes Past Five Rounds, Hamzah Might BECECOME IN THAT FIGHT.”

Berlanga is Dangerous Even in The Later Rounds. He Doesn’t Lease Power As His Fights Progress. We saw that in His Fight Against Canelo Alvarez Last September, When Edgar Landed His Best Shots in The 12th Round, coming alive and looking outstanding at The End. He was Fresh and Even More Dangerous in That Round Than At The Start of the Fight.

Hamzah Lacks Elite Experience

“The Danger is Early Exchanges, Getting Caught Cold by A Big Puncher. Yeah, I think Last Fighting. 22nd), “Said Hearn. “I know Hurt Hand in the Fight. I Think 160 Must Have Been Killing Him As Well.”

Hearn Doesn’t Point Out That Hamzah Deserved A Loss In That Fight in Riyadh and Was Saved by The Judging Crew, Who Gave Him A 12-Round Draw. I Watched The Fight and Had It for Adames 11-1. It was a complete mismatch. Sheeraz reminded Some Fans of Amir Khan with His Weak Punch Resistance and The Way He Would Wilt When Pressured.

“Just The Experience of the World-Class Opposition. A composed man, I think he can put a great performance, He has started a shot,” Said Hearn.

It’s Not Looking Good For Sheeraz Going Up Against Berlanga In His First Fight at 168 After Arguably Losing To Carlos Adames Last February. Like Hearn Points Out, Sheeraz’s Best Hope is to Drag Berlanga Into The Second Half of the Contest, and then Hope That He Gasses Out to Get A Stoppage. I Don’t See It Happening, But That’s The Only Shot I Can See Wining.
