168-pound super middleweight heavy gunner Edgar Beranga has the most important victory of his career, knocking out Ireland's Jason Quigley four times in a fight that ended last week and won by points, knowing that Quigley, a former World Championship silver medalist and European Championship gold medalist, has some strength, but under Beranga's fierce attack, it looks like a collapse.
The battle with Quigley, Beranga's first game in a year, and his first appearance with British promoter Eddie Hern, is now off to a great start and getting his career back on track.
With the victory over Quigley, who Beranga will play next in the next match has become the focus of attention. Promoter Hearn said he will arrange another big fight for Beranga in 2023, with Mexico's Jimmy Mongueia as the favourite.
After the victory over Quigley, Beranga named a long list of opponents, including John Reid, David Benavidez, Gennady Golovkin, but he highlighted Monguia.
"I think it's the biggest game right now and I hope to be in New York's Madison Square for Gardens again, and I'm sure everybody here wants to see me and I definitely want Monguía next," Berlanga said. I want that bastard, he's Mexican, I'm Puerto Rican (Puerto Rican-American) and I have the support of the fans who are the best mover and will make my dreams come true. ”
In his latest interview this week, Hearn revealed a new plan to arrange a duel between Beranga and Monguia in October, again in Madison Square Garden, New York, because this is the birthplace of Beranga and has a solid fan base.
For the potential clash between Monguia vs Beranga, Monguea promoter Oscar de la Hoya, the promoter of Monguia, responded via social media, ridiculing Hern for failing to win the Belanga vs Avarez match, and now shouting Monguia's name, but Hoya said he hopes the Monguia vs Beranga battle will be successful.
Hearn, a little annoyed by Hoya's attitude, said: "Hoya is working for DAZN and is a complete fool. To be honest, Hoya has provided a lot of great matches for DAZN, but as a promoter of Monguia, he didn't do that, right? I mean, Hoya is probably the worst promoter in boxing history because running Monguea says it all. ”
Although Hearn and Hoya have opened the verbal battle mode, it is certain that according to their current attitudes, they both intend to promote the battle of Monguia vs Beranga, and if this confrontation is staged, it will definitely be a classic heavy gunner encounter.
Monguea and Beranga are both 26 years old and are undefeated. Monguea has a professional record of 42 wins and 33 knockouts, while Beranga has a professional record of 21 wins and 16 knockouts. Beranga has solved 16 consecutive round-by-round fights, but as the difficulty of the bouts has increased, he has failed to knock out five victories.
Monguia and Beranga are very close in physical condition, coupled with the style of play of the two, it is not difficult to predict the heat of the fight, but Monguia initially rose from the 154-pound super welterweight division, on the contrary, Beranga is a standard 168-pound super middleweight fighter, in simple physical confrontation, he should be better than Monguia.
Monguea made his 168-pound debut this month with a thrilling victory over veteran Sergi Drayjanchenko, which was criticized by the media, with most people believing Monguea was a lucky winner with the help of the judges. However, Dreyanchenko's experience and skills are still quite outstanding, and although the competition process is somewhat unexpected, it is reasonable, but Beranga is mostly in the lower hand compared to Drayanchenko, except for being younger, so it is unknown whether it can pose a threat to Monguia.
Next, it depends on whether Monguia's promoter Hoya can make up his mind? It also depends on whether Hearn really contributes to this game? Monguia and Beranga are not outstanding, but in comparison, Monguía is undoubtedly better, and if there is a war, I personally predict that Monguia may not necessarily knock out the opponent, but the point victory over Beranga should not be a big problem.
