Edgar Berlanga Vs. Padraig Mccrory: Super Middleweight Showdown Preview

Edgar Berlanga American professional boxer

On March 19, 2022, Edgar Berlanga faced off against Steve Rolls in a super middleweight bout at the Hulu Theatre in Madison Garden, New York. Berlanga, known for his impressive record of knocking out his first 16 opponents in the first round, has been a topic of discussion in the boxing world. However, his recent fights have not ended in knockouts, leading to speculation about his form.

In his last fight against Jason Quigley, Berlanga failed to secure a stoppage victory despite knocking Quigley down multiple times. Berlanga attributed his performance to old injuries and inactivity but expressed confidence in his upcoming fight against Padraig McCrory.

McCrory, an undefeated fighter with aspirations of a world title, sees the bout as a life-changing opportunity. The odds favor Berlanga as the -500 favorite, while McCrory is the +350 underdog. Despite Berlanga's recent non-knockout streak, his level of competition has significantly improved, with wins over notable fighters like Roamer Alexis Angulo and Quigley.

McCrory, with an 18-0 record, lacks recognizable names on his resume, raising questions about his ability to challenge Berlanga. The fight, scheduled for February 24, will mark McCrory's American debut, adding an element of unpredictability to the matchup.

While Berlanga's recent performances have tempered expectations, he is still favored to win against McCrory. The fight is anticipated to go the distance, with Berlanga potentially winning by decision. Boxing enthusiasts eagerly await the outcome of this intriguing showdown between Berlanga and McCrory.
