class=\"wp-block-heading\">Edgar Berlanga vs Padraig McCrory Betting Analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Super middleweight contender Edgar Berlanga takes on tough Padraig McCrory this weekend down in Orlando, Florida as the undefeated Puerto Rican fighter aims to become a serious force in the 168lb division moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Facing him on Saturday will be another undefeated fighter in McCrory, and one who is ranked highly at #3 with the WBA currently, as he looks to make his own statement in the super middleweight division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Edgar Berlanga enters this fight as the -525 favorite with Padraig McCrory coming back as a +350 underdog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Monster Looking Tamed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After an impressive sixteen straight first-round KOs across his opening sixteen fights under his former promotional banner of Top Rank, the world looked like Berlanga\u2019s oyster with his prodigious power ensuring no opponent could survive against him as he carved his way through the 168lb division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That was however until the level of competition increased, with Berlanga failing to get a single stoppage since, even getting put down by Marcelo Coceres back in 2021 as well, with his partnership with Top Rank drying up as his aura of invincibility quickly evaporated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">McCrory Aiming To Get Respect<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s fair to say that not many people will know who Padraig McCrory is when he steps through the ropes against Edgar Berlanga this Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A tough undefeated Irish fighter who\u2019s done things the hard way in terms of his amateur background, McCrory will nevertheless look to finally get some respect on his name at 35 years of age this weekend as he looks to score a career-high win that would finally propel him into a huge fight down the road to cap off his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a current 18-fight win streak and six stoppages across his last ten fights also, McCrory certainly has the ability to cause issues for Berlanga this weekend, just as his compatriot Jason Quigley did in Berlanga\u2019s last fight as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Edgar Berlanga vs Padraig McCrory Expert Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a crucial fight for Edgar Berlanga on Saturday as both himself and his new promotional banner of Matchroom have made a serious push to get Berlanga, with that huge Puerto Rican fanbase attached, into the title conversation at 168lbs with potential showdowns against Canelo and Jaime Munguia on the horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Berlanga\u2019s tepid performance against Jason Quigley last summer led many to believe he simply doesn\u2019t have what it takes to compete at that level, and if he goes on to lay another egg this weekend against an unheralded fighter in McCrory, that Canelo train might completely derail for Berlanga and leave him stuck firmly in the wilderness in the super middleweight division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Padraig McCrory is a sharp counterpuncher who employs a terrific straight right hand in fights, but one who nevertheless shouldn\u2019t have the necessary power to seriously trouble Berlanga in this fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, the onus will firmly be on Berlanga to take the fight to McCrory early in this one in order to make a statement, especially against a fighter who\u2019s never fought outside of Europe before, and with Berlanga&#8217;s power advantage (despite not getting the stoppage last time out against Jason Quigley, he put him down four times in that fight), plus the entire promotion basically hinging on Berlanga\u2019s ability to get the stoppage in this one, there are enough factors here to suggest Berlanga might finally snap that recent distance run of his and get the job done early this weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take Edgar Berlanga to get the stoppage victory on Saturday against Padraig McCrory in Orlando.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3

Berlanga this Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>A tough undefeated Irish fighter who\u2019s done things the hard way in terms of his amateur background, McCrory will nevertheless look to finally get some respect on his name at 35 years of age this weekend as he looks to score a career-high win that would finally propel him into a huge fight down the road to cap off his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>With a current 18-fight win streak and six stoppages across his last ten fights also, McCrory certainly has the ability to cause issues for Berlanga this weekend, just as his compatriot Jason Quigley did in Berlanga\u2019s last fight as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Edgar Berlanga vs Padraig McCrory Expert Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>This is a crucial fight for Edgar Berlanga on Saturday as both himself and his new promotional banner of Matchroom have made a serious push to get Berlanga, with that huge Puerto Rican fanbase attached, into the title conversation at 168lbs with potential showdowns against Canelo and Jaime Munguia on the horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>However, Berlanga\u2019s tepid performance against Jason Quigley last summer led many to believe he simply doesn\u2019t have what it takes to compete at that level, and if he goes on to lay another egg this weekend against an unheralded fighter in McCrory, that Canelo train might completely derail for Berlanga and leave him stuck firmly in the wilderness in the super middleweight division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Padraig McCrory is a sharp counterpuncher who employs a terrific straight right hand in fights, but one who nevertheless shouldn\u2019t have the necessary power to seriously trouble Berlanga in this fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, the onus will firmly be on Berlanga to take the fight to McCrory early in this one in order to make a statement, especially against a fighter who\u2019s never fought outside of Europe before, and with Berlanga's power advantage (despite not getting the stoppage last time out against Jason Quigley, he put him down four times in that fight), plus the entire promotion basically hinging on Berlanga\u2019s ability to get the stoppage in this one, there are enough factors here to suggest Berlanga might finally snap that recent distance run of his and get the job done early this weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Take Edgar Berlanga to get the stoppage victory on Saturday against Padraig McCrory in Orlando.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Edgar Berlanga vs Padraig McCrory Prediction: Edgar Berlanga by KO\/TKO
