Sheeraz vs. Berlanga: Fight preview

Both Of These Fighters Are On The Mediocre Side and Are Viewed As Classic Examples Of Hype Jobs. However, Berlanga and Shoeaz Have Punching That Masks Their Marginal Skills, And That Makes Them Dangerous Anyone In The Emptied-Out, Talentless Super Middleweight Division.

Future 168-LB Star?

This Fight Could Determine Who Emges The Next Star in The 168-LB Division. The Weight Class is Barren of Popular Fighters Now, and the Winner of Berlanga-Sheeraz Could Void Left by David Benavidez’s Exit.

Sheeraz’s Last Performance Against WBC Middleweight Champion Carlos Adames Leaves Lot Of Doubt About Whether He has the Talent to Mix It with A-Level Fighters. Adames Is Far from Being An Elite-Level Fighter, But Hey He dominated Hamzah, 26, Making Him Look Bad. If not the Judges Bailing Sheeraz Out by Giving Him A 12-Round Draw, He’d Have Suffered His First Career Defeat.

Berlanga’s hometown Advantage

The Brooklyn, New York Native Berlanga (23-1, 18 Kos) Is The Favorite and Will Be Front of His Home Crowd. That Would Count for Something’s Fight Was Expected To Go The Full 12 rounds. The Judges Are Unlikely to Have A Say In This Fight, As It’s Expected To End Knockout.

That’s A Good Thing for Sheez (21-0-1, 17 Kos), Because He could Find It Hard to Win A Decision Fighting Edgar in New York. You’ve got the Imagine That Fans Will Be Showing A Approval For Every Punch That Berlanga Lands In The Fight.

Sheeraz Training: Outside Fighting

In A Training Clip Posted Out Today Working Out, You Can See’s Mostly Staying On The Outside, Using His Reach and Moving. He’s Going to Need to Fight Like Ther to Avoid Berlanga’s Big Power Shots. Would be too risky for Hamzah to Stay in Berlanga, especially in the Early Rounds When He’s More Dangerous.

Berlanga has a slight experience Advantage over Sheeraz, Given His Fight Against Canelo Alvarez Last September. Even Thgar Lost Almost Every Round Of The Fight, Going The Distance With Canele Gave Him Confidence That Stay In The Top Fighters In The Division. It’s questionable Whether Is Canolo Is The Best At 168, But It Still Means Something With The Berlanga Went Distance With Him.

Other than Adames, Sheeraz hasn’t fought any notable opponents. His Best Win Came Against Austin Williams, A Flawed Contender With A Record Built on Tomato Cans. Aside From Being Staggered Early By Austin, Hamzah Was in Full Command The Entire Fight and Perored Well.
