forbes.com

Edgar Berlanga scored a quick knockout against Jonathan Gonzalez-Ortiz in Orlando on Saturday night, finishing the fight in just one round. Berlanga expressed dissatisfaction with the matchup, feeling it was beneath his level after his previous fight with Canelo Alvarez. Berlanga had hoped to fight bigger names like Caleb Plant or Jaime Munguia but ended up in a co-main event instead of headlining a fight in Puerto Rico. He missed weight before the fight, indicating a lack of preparation. The fight marked the end of Berlanga's contract with Matchroom, and his future with the promoter is uncertain. Matchroom's promoter defended their support of Berlanga, highlighting his earnings from previous fights.
