All of his opponents have something in common \u2014 they\u2019ve all been knocked out in the first round.<\/p>\n<p>Berlanga\u2019s trainer, Andre Rozier, admitted that his first 13 fights didn\u2019t exactly come against top-quality fighters. But bout No. 14 was supposed to be different. Eric Moon squared off with Berlanga at MGM Grand Convention Center on July 21 in what was supposed to be a \u201cstep-up\u201d fight. Berlanga and his team expected it to at least last until the later rounds.<\/p>\n<p>New opponent, same result. Moon\u2019s night ended in just 62 seconds, courtesy of Berlanga\u2019s right hand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis last opponent wasn\u2019t supposed to be what we call \u2018easy work.\u2019 But he was easier work than some of the easy work,\u201d Rozier told The Post. \u201cI was very h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>y about that. \u2026 That\u2019s what we do. We get in, take care of business and get out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Berlanga\u2019s fights have lasted, on average, less than 100 seconds \u2014 14 fights, 14 wins, 14 first-round knockouts, 14 fighters left in Berlanga\u2019s wake.<\/p>\n<p>Fans have already witnessed the 23-year-old\u2019s power, but that\u2019s just scratching the surface. Berlanga can\u2019t wait to show everyone the full package.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have a beautiful boxing ability,\u201d Berlanga told The Post. \u201cI\u2019ve got beautiful leg movement, head movement. I\u2019m a boxer-puncher. My boxing skills are top of the top. Only the team sees me in the gym, and they see the boxing skills, they see everything. But the world hasn\u2019t seen anything yet. This is just the beginning; they\u2019ve only seen the first round. I can\u2019t wait to show my skill, and when I go those extra rounds, show the world that I\u2019m capable of doing everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the early dominance, Berlanga\u2019s overpowering style could raise a few questions. Can he go the distance? Does he have a Plan B if he can\u2019t knock his opponent out? What happens when he starts taking some sustained hits?<\/p>\n<p>Those questions don\u2019t concern Berlanga and his team.<\/p>\n<p><span><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UlBid2Rz5E4?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;autohide=2&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent\" title=\"Video\" width=\"640\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst and foremost, a lot of people will tell you \u2018he has to get rounds,\u2019 \u201d Rozier said. \u201cI tell him all the time, when we train, we train for rounds. Just because he doesn\u2019t get them doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s not ready for them. He\u2019s ready to do 10 rounds, he\u2019s ready to do 12 rounds. It just so happens he\u2019s making sure he doesn\u2019t have to. But, if the time does come, and eventually it will, he will be able to go those rounds, and then some, and perform at maximum level. Quite frankly, his job will be always to make sure he hits his opponents out of there, and does it in solid fashion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Born in Brooklyn, Berlanga is of Puerto Rican descent and grew up admiring Puerto Rican stars Miguel Cotto and Felix \u201cTito\u201d Trinidad. Representing his culture is paramount to Berlanga, who wants to be next in line.<\/p>\n<p>Both Berlanga and Rozier envision him soon making the jump to light-heavyweight. Wherever he fights, however, Berlanga is determined to provide a show.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is boxing at the end of the day and this is entertainment,\u201d Berlanga said. \u201cWe\u2019re entertainers. We go in there and fight and entertain people. They pay to watch you. The more butts you can fill up in those seats, the more money you\u2019re going to make, the [bigger] superstar you\u2019re going to become. My style is perfect because I\u2019m a boxer-puncher. I don\u2019t like to get hit. As you can see, I like to do the damage. But, it\u2019s boxing. For years people loved to see a fight, people loved to see people go to war and entertain. They don\u2019t want to see a fighter running around the ring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Already with 14, Berlanga is chasing the late Ali Raymi\u2019s record of 21 consecutive first-round KOs to start a professional career.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not on his mind though. Berlanga is obsessed with becoming one of the greats.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI see it happening in two years or less,\u201d Berlanga said. \u201cI\u2019m a special fighter, man. I have the charisma. I\u2019m special. I\u2019m just a different breed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight now, I set the tone. \u2026 [Against Moon] I really did. I\u2019m 14-0 with 14 KO\u2019s all in the first round. Nobody in the world is doing that right now. I feel like I\u2019m going to be the most entertaining fighter out there.\u201d\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Sports <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/general\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">General category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>if you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">watch Movies<\/a> or Tv Shows go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/dizi.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dizi.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a> <\/span> for forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/08\/03\/brooklyn-born-edgar-berlanga-dreaming-big-amid-epic-knockout-streak\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#Brooklyn-born Edgar Berlanga dreaming big amid epic knockout streak&#8221; The next time Edgar Berlanga hears the second-round bell, it\u2019ll be his first time.
