    The ultimate KO artist & top prospect Edgar Barlenga is ready for the top 10 fighters at SMW!

    They are ready for him, or fighters like Jacobs, Dirrell and Caleb Plant are already hiding?

    Rosado should be a good test.

    Rosado is about same level as Bellows & won't get him to top 10.

    They need to give him Truax, Jacobs etc. He might be ready for an overrated Caleb Plant right now!

    EDGAR BARLENGA returns Dec 12 in the undercard of Shakur Stevenson. Opponent is Ulisse Sierra.

    Contender for Prospect of the Year 2020?

    Hope this guy isn't planning to do anything but cover up and fall.

    How about a top 100 SMW next time?

    It's true that Sierra is no credible opponent.

    But so wouldn't be

    , a guy rated #96 that Caleb Plant defended IBF title against last year.

    Caleb Plant is a fraud. He should try to "end the hype" & fight Barlenga instead of trying to cash in & get destoyed vs Canelo.

    Or David Benavidez that just last year fought J'Leon Love who's currently rated #75.

    It really wouldn't make difference if BARLENGA fought Bellows, Sierra or J'Leon Love. It's time for top 10 opponent after this fight & those guys don't want it.

    Ha! I missed that defense, talk about just clearing the top 100 bar.

    I try not to hate Caleb Plant too hard but I can't help it, so I know what you're going through.

    I want Berlanga ready and proven when it's time to stop Plant and it's genuinely frightening seeing him in there with someone who can't protect themselves.

    Berlanga has fought nothing but starter level opponents so far, hasnt even fought a tough journeyman yet. its impossible to asess his potential right now.

    Bektemir Melikuziev said he wants Berlanga.After that there were people writing in his Twitter, calling for him to fight with Melikuziev.But Berlanga prefer to talk about Jacobs, Plant, while fighting bums instead of accepting the challenge from Melikuziev, the silver olympic meadalist from 2016.
    I hope Golden Boy, Melikuziev's promoters, will make that fight real, soon or later, so we can all see how good is Berlanga against experienced and tough opponent who also has power in his hands.

    as much as i love first round knock outs, he needs to step it up. i want to see him get some rounds in! we dont know to much about him to be honest with all these one round ko's.
