The Boxing Voice is reporting that the fight is in the works for June. They both have the same manager & both are with Matchroom so not a hard fight to make. Who do you have between these two: Edgar Belanga vs. Danny Jacobs. Blockbuster fight for the summer.
If Daniel even has a little bit left, Berlanga is gonna get stopped. Daniel holds a significant speed advantage, possible power advantage, chin and durability is also fairly proven.
That would be a hell of a fight, but i still think Rosado beat Jacobs so that tells me something. If Jacobs comes fully prepared he has a chance to pull off the upset.
Jacobs should have lost to Rosada. He's way past his best and I don't think he has much left. Jacobs is ripe for the picking; that's why Berlanga is interested. If Jacobs has anything left, he should beat Berlanga.
Berlanga seems Delusional as do those that buy into his hype. Berlanga is a mediocre prospect being sold as a future Puerto Rican star. Jacobs, if he fights to his potential has a very good chance of getting a ko. He can't afford to keep it even remotely close, because Berlanga is a robbery machine. When promoters try to make a boxer a star, funny score cards are a given, and that has been happening with Berlanga. The problem with Berlanga is, he don't have the greatest chin it seems. In order to get a robbery win you have to make it to the finish line.
Jacobs should win but if Berlanga has a crazy performance and KO it would definitely put him on a path for Canelo... Maybe KO Jacobs, beat Ryder in Fall, 2023, and beat another decent contender in Winter, 2023 setting up Spring, 24 v Canelo. I'd bet against Berlanga even beating Jacobs but there is a path to Canelo fight if he can execute over next 36 rounds or so
If Jacobs shows up as good as he did for Ryder I think he can win this. Inactivity and Father time is his only disadvantage.
Jacob's on the way down and burlamga is good but not anything special. Should be 50/50. Wouldn't mind seeing berlanga score a solid ko and become an interesting prospect again Could be another Judah vs Vernon Paris scenario
