Sure thing! Here’s the rewritten article:
So, Eddie Hearn thinks Hamzah Sheeraz could win against Edgar Berlanga by, I don’t know, dragging him into the later rounds? July 12th, DAZN PPV… yeah, it’s gonna be a blast at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York. Sheeraz has a spotless record, kinda like my untouched gym membership, and he’s jumping to 168 pounds for the first time. And Berlanga? The guy loves knocking people out, with 18 of them to his name. I mean, seriously, who’s not tuning in?
Sheeraz’s Big Leap to 168
Sheeraz moving up to 168, huh? Could be good for him. He’s smart in the ring, they say. But maybe it just makes things tougher. At 160, he was towering over guys like a basketball player taking on a Little League team. But now? Not so much. Hearn’s got this wild idea that even though it’s Sheeraz’s debut at 168, he’d be okay if he can outlast Berlanga. Early knockout, anyone?
I can’t help but feel like Hearn’s worried about the early rounds. Berlanga’s got hands quick as lightning but with force like a sledgehammer. Picture that. Sheeraz can’t just lose his cool early. Berlanga would love that — pow, game’s over.
Berlanga’s Boosted Ego
Edgar’s confidence is up in the clouds. He shared the ring with Canelo Alvarez. Even though, honestly, he could’ve done more. Still, felt that power, gained experience, blah blah. Later rounds, though, Berlanga woke up against Canelo, and against Jonathan Gonzalez-Ortiz before that, bam, first-round KO. Now Sheeraz is walking into the same ring. Right move? You decide.
Hearn’s putting his bets on Berlanga, but he’s not dismissing Sheeraz entirely. I mean, the guy’s got Andy Lee training him. Lee worked with Jason Quigley, who went toe to toe with Berlanga and got floored four times. Yeah, "success" isn’t how I’d put it, but you get me, right?
So, I guess it’s a toss-up. NYC crowd, the buzz, all that. Berlanga’s aggression could take anyone down. But if Sheeraz can hold on till halfway through, he might just flip the script. Who can say?
And Then There’s Hamzah…
Sheeraz, man… doesn’t really have the big fight experience. Last time out, against Carlos Adames for the WBC middleweight title, he just wasn’t there. Broke his hand, couldn’t handle 160 anymore? Eh, no clue. But the judges kinda saved him with that draw. Honest? Adames won that in my eyes. 11 to 1, easy. Sheeraz had those Amir Khan glass jaw vibes.
Hey, Hearn’s got faith in him. Maybe put in a great show, he’s got a shot. But me, I’m seeing Berlanga take this with the firepower he’s packing. Unless Sheeraz magically tires him out and capitalizes. But I doubt it. It seems like a tall order, doesn’t it?
Yeah, that’s about it. Let’s see what happens when these two meet in the ring. Should be a fun ride, right?
