    That gave this man too much privilege and elevation and fcuked his psyche up. Now he’s a fighter that’s been dropped and beaten up after that streak…he has an identity crisis and has been changing trainers and providing excuses every step of the way. Faulting his opponents…biting them…He is a liability for Top Rank now.

    The most intriguing question is what do they do with him for the next year?
    The bold: That question is the only one I remember every time he struggles in a fight. You saw Berlanga's ceiling. That's it.

      This is what happens when you people hype up unproven fighters.
      It's not his fault. I don't see him dropping big names, then duck them when the fight is offered.

          By the way, bro, I wasn't disagreeing with you. There are fighters with quick ceiling. The Munguia guy is another hype job, in complete, IMO.

            He does not even look talented to me. Just a basic B level fighter.

              I think if you bite someone in a boxing match, Auto-DQ. This shouldn't be happening with the frequency it's been happening.

                I agree. The judges had him winning before the fight started…so Top Rank needs him a bit longer until they see how real Zayas and Teo is.

                He still makes them money…so they are going to try to give him multiple chances in fights he’s supposed to win. We will see!

                      "He was throwing elbows. I was about to do a Mike Tyson on him," Berlanga said during his post-fight interview on ESPN. "He kept throwing his elbows and pushing it out. I didn't want to get cut."

                      What did he mean he was about to ?!?!?
