Alright, let’s talk about this Edgar Berlanga fella and his weight, you know, like how heavy he is when he fights. I ain’t no expert, but I can tell ya what I heard and what I seen, just like I’d tell ya about the price of eggs at the market.
So, this Edgar Berlanga, they call him “The Chosen One.” Sounds fancy, right? Well, he’s a boxer, a fighter, you know, the kind that punches other fellas for money. He’s from Brooklyn, that’s what they say. And he’s been fighting a long time, since 2016 they tell me. Started young, like most good scrappers do. He’s had a bunch of fights, more than 20, and won most of ‘em, mostly by knocking folks out. That’s a lot of punchin’, let me tell ya.
Now, this weight thing, it’s important in boxing. They got these different weight classes, you see. It’s like sorting apples by size, only they’re sorting fighters by how much they weigh. Berlanga, he’s been fighting in what they call the super middleweight division. That means he’s gotta weigh a certain amount, not too heavy, not too light.
- They say he’s usually around 167, 168 pounds.
- That’s a big fella, let me tell ya. Bigger than my prize-winning pumpkin last year, that’s for sure.
- And he’s tall too, six foot one they say. That’s taller than my Jedediah, and he’s a beanpole.
They gotta weigh in before the fight, you know. Make sure they ain’t cheatin’ and weighin’ more than they should. They step on a scale, just like the one I use to weigh my flour for bakin’ bread, only theirs is probably fancier. Berlanga, he always makes weight, they say. No trouble there. He’s a professional, you see. He knows what he’s doing.
He fought this Canelo fella, real famous boxer, everyone knows him. Canelo, he weighed in at 166.8 pounds for that fight. A little lighter than Berlanga, but strong as an ox, from what I hear. Berlanga, he lost that fight, but he gave it a good go, they say. Got knocked down, but got back up. That’s what matters, right? Gettin’ back up when you’re knocked down.
This weight thing, it ain’t just about the number on the scale, though. It’s about how you carry that weight, how strong you are. Berlanga, he’s strong, they say. Hits hard. That’s why he knocks so many people out. He’s got that reach too, 73 inches they say. That’s how far his arms can stretch, you know, like when you’re reachin’ for the top shelf in the pantry. A long reach is good in boxing, lets you hit the other fella before he can hit you.
They talk about Berlanga’s age too, he’s in his late twenties, maybe thirty now. That’s young for us regular folks, but in boxing, it’s getting up there. Boxers, they gotta take care of themselves, you see. All that punchin’ and gettin’ punched, it takes a toll on your body. Gotta eat right, train hard, and stay at the right weight. It’s a tough life, but they make good money, some of ‘em, especially the famous ones like this Berlanga.
So, Edgar Berlanga’s weight, it’s around 168 pounds, give or take. He’s a super middleweight, a big strong fella with a long reach. He’s been fighting for a while now, winning most of his fights, mostly by knockout. He lost to Canelo, but that don’t mean nothin’. Even the best fighters lose sometimes. It’s all part of the game, you see. Just like when you’re bakin’ a pie, sometimes it turns out perfect, sometimes it don’t. You just gotta keep tryin’, keep punchin’, keep bakin’.
And from what I hear, he’s always looking to get better, to get stronger. That’s what a good fighter does, you see. They never stop learnin’, never stop tryin’ to improve. Just like a good loaf of bread, you gotta keep kneadin’ it, keep workin’ it, until it’s just right. And Berlanga, he’s still workin’ on it, still tryin’ to get to the top. That’s what they say, anyway.
And that’s about all I know about Edgar Berlanga’s weight. He’s a big fella, fights at 168 pounds, hits hard, and’s got a long reach. Seems like a good boxer, to me. But what do I know? I’m just a woman who knows how to bake a good pie and tell ya if somethin’ weighs a pound or two.
