Boxing: Edgar Berlanga vs. Alexis Angulo Weigh-In

This is a big weekend for Edgar Berlanga.

Berlanga will have the honor of fighting on Puerto Rican Day Parade weekend in New York City.

“I’m excited,” said Berlanga. “It’s Puerto Rican Day {Parade} Weekend. {The first one} since the pandemic, two years. I’ve been dreaming about this since I was a kid. I feel like I spoke it into existence. My hard work paid off and now we’re here.”

Berlanga (19-0, 16 KOs) is known as a knockout artist but as seen value in fighting more rounds than the first.

“I have 16 first-round knockouts, so I didn’t really gain the experience I needed. Definitely, these last three fights, I got the experience I needed.”

Berlanga’s opponent, Alexis Angulo, is still trying to get back on track after a loss two fights ago.

“We have been trying different training techniques and things like that, so let’s see what kind of result we get in this fight.”
