For both Quigley and Berlanga, this bout represents more than just a chance for victory. It is an opportunity to solidify their legacies and demonstrate their ability to perform on the grandest stage. A win in this highly anticipated matchup could catapult either fighter into the upper echelons of the boxing world, opening doors to future high-profile matchups and potentially leading to a shot at a world championship. In speaking with the confident Berlanga on the “Kick Rocks Podcast” about his upcoming matchup with Quigley the New Yorker doesn’t seem fazed by the potential challenge the Irishman comes with. “He already knows what I represent, and we know what he’s going to do. He’s going to run around and dance like a Ballerina and we prepped for that.”

Edgar Berlanga, a rising star in the boxing world, has captivated fans with his explosive knockout power and an unblemished record of 20 wins, with 16 coming by way of knockout. The Puerto Rican-born fighter has become renowned for his blistering starts, finishing opponents in the first round of nearly every bout. Berlanga's relentless aggression and formidable punching power have earned him comparisons to boxing legends of the past. Berlanga's ascent through the super middleweight division has been nothing short of remarkable. His knockout streak garnered widespread attention, elevated his profile, and positioned him as a legitimate contender. After a few setbacks due to a biceps tear, Berlanga’s last few fights haven’t been as impressive to the critics who scrutinize every hot young fighter. However, Berlanga views knockouts a bit differently than the naysayers. “You know everyone wants to protect their 0, and I’m not in there to take no L’s. I’m in there to protect my 0 that’s a fact, but not to the point where I’m scared to fight people”, says Berlanga.
Berlanga and his camp aren’t the types to shy away from the legit competition. To continue his rise as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world the youngster must take on true competition that will test his metal. Ultimately, this fight could come down to who can effectively execute their game plan and impose their style on the other. If Berlanga manages to land his trademark power punches early and maintain his relentless pressure, he may have the upper hand. However, if Quigley can weather the storm and utilize his technical skills to outmaneuver Berlanga, he could find success.
