The year 2021 did not turn out the way Edgar Berlanga expected.
For the first four years of Berlanga’s career, the judges were given the night off. Regardless of who the New York native entered the ring with, he ended his match quickly and roughly. Most notably, Berlanga has earned a reputation as one of the most notorious boxers in boxing, when he stopped his first 16 opponents in the first round.
However, for the first time in his career, Berlanga was forced to overcome Demond Nicholson in the first half of 2021. Later that year, Berlanga faced even more adversity, making a unanimous decision against the application. fringe candidate Marcelo Esteban Coceres.
During the match, Berlanga hit the deck for the first time in his youth career. Also, to make matters worse, the 168-pound prospect tore his biceps. With the injury completely healed, Berlanga is now ready to return to the ring against arguably the most difficult opponent of his career.
As first reported by BoxingScene.com, Berlanga will head at Madison Square Garden’s Hulu Theater in New York against Steve Rolls on March 19.
Although the Canadian-born tennis player was thoroughly defeated at the hands of Gennadiy Golovkin, Rolls put aside the injury time loss to record his own consecutive knockout victory. Most recently, Rolls did a thorough analysis of cruiser Christopher Brooker on December 17, 2021, stopping him in the ninth round.
If Berlanga returns to his destructive ways, then Top Rated, the promotional banner Berlanga fights under, could put him in a position to boost his star power.
On Sunday, June 12, the streets of Manhattan in New York will be packed with Berlanga’s Puerto Rican countrymen to celebrate the Puerto Rico Day Parade. A day before that, Top Rated could bring Berlanga into the main event again to highlight his growing audience.
