HOUSTON, TX (February 26, 2024) – In a bold statement, undefeated WBA World Champion David Morrell Jr. (10-0, 9 KOs) has declared that rising star Edgar Berlanga (22-0, 17 KOs), who is fresh off his sixth-round knockout over Padraig McCrory (18-1, 9 KOs), is nowhere near his level and that he would dispatch him in just one round if given the chance.
Morrell Jr., coming off a string of impressive victories, since his dominant performance over Alantez Fox to capture the WBA World title, minced no words in his assessment of Berlanga's recent success.
"Berlanga is simply not on my level,” said Morrell Jr. “I've watched his fights, and I see nothing that worries me. Berlanga sucks, and I would destroy him. If we ever step into the ring together, I'll knock him out in one round, guaranteed."
With his sights set on solidifying his status as one of the most formidable champions in the division, Morrell Jr. remains fearless by any challenge that comes his way.
"I'm here to prove that I'm the best," concluded Morrell Jr. "Whether it's Berlanga, or anyone else, I'll be ready to step into the ring and show the world what I'm made of. I’m the best fighter in the super middleweight division, and soon everyone will know that."
As anticipation builds for his next move, fans eagerly await Morrell Jr.'s next title defense, eager to witness his explosive talents in action once again.
