Sheeraz vs. Berlanga: Fight Preview

Both of these fighters on the average side are seen as classic examples of noise functions. However, Berlanga and Sheeraz have the power of punching that hide their marginal skills, and this makes them dangerous for anyone in the super -high -level weight -standing section.

The future star of 168 pounds?

This battle can determine who appears as the next star in the 168 -pound section. The weight category is arid for now famous fighters, and the winner of Berlanga-SHeeraz may be able to fill the void left by David Benefida’s exit.

The last performance of Siraz against the WBC medium weight hero Carlos Iberz last February leaves a lot of doubt whether he has a talent to mix it with ADAMES fighters away from being a fighter at the elite level, but he dominated Hamza, 26, which makes him look bad. If the judges who save Shiraz are not by giving him a 12 -round draw, he suffered from his first professional defeat.

Birlanga birthplace feature

Brooklyn, Birlanga, his citizen in New York (23-1, 18 Cos) is the favorite and will fight in front of a crowd of his home. This would count for something if the battle is expected to go in the full 12 -round. Judges are unlikely to have an opinion in this battle, as it is expected to end with the knockout.

This is a good thing for Sheeraz (21-0-1, 17 KOS), because it can find it difficult to win a decision fighting Edgar in New York. You have to imagine that the fans will offer a lot of approval for every punch that lands in the battle.

Shiraz Training: Outside the fighting

In a training clip published today about Sheeraz’s work, you can see that it is mostly residing outside, using its arrival and moving. It will need to fight like this to avoid large power footage in Birlanga. It would be very risky for Hamza to remain within the reach of Birlanga, especially in early rounds when he is more dangerous.

Berlanga has a simple experience on Sheeraz, given his battle against Canelo Alvarez last September. Although Edgar lost almost every round of fighting, going to the distance with Canilo gave him confidence in that he could stay with senior fighters in the department. It is doubtful whether Canelo is still the best in 168, but it still means something that Berlinga had gone with.

Unlike Adames, she did not fight any prominent opponents. His best victory was against Austin Williams, a defective competitor with a record of tomato boxes. Regardless of being an early interrelated by Austin, Hamza was in full battle driving and retreated well.
