Edgar Berlanga vs Padraig McCrory Fight Preview
Edgar Berlanga will look to rediscover his focus when he meets unbeaten Belfast native Padraig McCrory at Caribe Royale in Orlando on Saturday night. In this article we take a closer look at this matchup as well as deep boxing analysis about the fight.
Padraig McCrory Analysis: Hoping to earn respect
Padraig McCrory (18-0, 9 KOs) is undefeated and may be another European fighter who is unknown in the United States but makes an impression on his first trip here. McCrory won easily against Steed Woodall at Belfast back in August. McCrory will make his U.S. ring debut and has called this fight his most difficult since signing with Matchroom Boxing. Though not as quick as Berlanga, McCrory believes his power and boxing prowess will allow him to win through. Since Berlanga would be able to decapitate McCrory in a shootout, McCrory will most likely employ a similar strategy centered on movement and protection like the one Quigley used against Berlanga in his last fight.
Edgar Berlanga Analysis: Looking for knockout after a long time
Edgar Berlanga has one of the most peculiar career arcs in boxing (21-0, 16 KOs). After starting his professional career with 16 straight first-round knockouts, he suddenly seems incapable of stopping anyone else. He boxed his way to 5 consecutive unimpressive unanimous decisions, where he was repeatedly dismantled online, one overly sweeping right hook at each occasion. Berlanga won convincingly by unanimous decision against Jason Quigley last summer. Berlanga and McCrory will compete in a 12-round bout for the WBO NABO Super Middleweight Championship. Berlanga may secure himself an opportunity against Canelo Alvarez for an eventual title shot, while McCrory hopes to move himself into one of the top ten rankings.
