Despite being a knockout specialist, it was believed that Berlanga would be taken to the distance tonight. His recent opponent, Lanell Bellows, is a veteran of the sport who wasn’t stopped by any boxer before.

However, Edgar Berlanga has inaugurated the saga as he stopped Bellows within the first round, and it wasn’t even a close contest. Just like all his previous fights, Berlanga had a quick day at work, leaving no doubts inside the ring. There has been no boxer who has seen the second round against him. That said, Berlanga is a genuine threat to the division and is climbing the ladder swiftly.

If he continues with his intense dominance, he is expected to be a world champion soon. There’s no way we can write him off from the title tale, especially when he is on a 15 first-round KO win streak.
