Berlanga Rolls

Berlanga vs Rolls tonight in New York

Rolls has been defeated by GGG before the limit, he has a certain experience, he is good and smart, but in our opinion Berlanga’s performance should have been better, it is true he was coming back from a bad injury, but he seemed to lack of timing and especially of combinations, he could not find the way to place them, he brought some good shots, but the Canadian guy was good to escape from the battle and to resist until the last bell.

In the co-main event Zayas wins and convinces against a tough and tough opponent like La Vallais, the weight is a mix between welter and super good his convincing test, what we like about this guy is that he shows continuous margins of improvement, and the road they are making him do in our opinion, is excellent.

Another Puerto Rican of the evening Bauza won against Luis on points, a good match where the boxing superiority was evident but not abysmal, eight interesting rounds, good competitive tone.

In Las Vegas instead Blair Cobbs was defeated by a knockout in the ninth round by Rocha; Rocha is a very good fighter, both are part of the GBP, and they fought because Ortiz who should have faced Rocha had a health problem, and Cobbs was included in the main event, he should have fought in the co-main event; having said that Rocha has lost in his career only to Ellis, a very good prospect of which we have lost track…Blair in our opinion has mistaken the whole approach to the match.

There were clear differences in boxing consistency of timing, a fight between left-handers where we criticize Roach for not having made him bring the left jab that could have made the difference, as Cobbs often came out of the trajectory of the single shot but did not return, he had certainly made another program against his previous opponent; in this match the limits came out and we are very sorry for a fighter that in our opinion could have done much more, as he is very strong in the attack phase; we would not have given him to Rocha at the last moment as Rocha is really solid and knows how to box, and he has really proved to be on the rise. Too bad for Cobbs he took some terrible blows and let’s see what will happen after this sound defeat, he is 32 years old…

Well done Rocha, his match was excellent and a well deserved victory that makes him enter already in a good elite of fighters;
