Other stats you need to know about Edgar Berlanga

The physical attributes explain why Berlanga is such a tough opponent to face in the ring. However, there is more to the 23-year-old than just his physical attributes.

‘The Chosen One’ is on a 16-fight unbeaten streak in his professional career. Moreover, all of his knockouts have come in the 1st round, which gives him a 100% knockout ratio.

Thus, the unbeaten fighter is chasing the record of most consecutive 1st-round knockouts, which late boxer Ali Raymi holds at 21 knockouts.

Such is the power of Berlanga, he is now often called ‘The Puerto Rican Mike Tyson’. In addition, he silenced critics in his last fight when he handed Ulises Sierra his first knockout loss, shutting down any criticism about the quality of his opponent.

Only time will tell if Berlanga is the real deal and the heir to Canelo Alvarez in the super-middleweight division.
