Good win by Berlanga, but he's nowhere near the level of the top guys at 168lb. Stiff, horrible footwork and nowhere near busy enough.

Unimpressed with Berlanga, seems almost gun shy now which is weird. Or maybe just over thinking. Either way, that was a disappointing performance against a limited opponent.

Agreed. Gunshy and limited. His stock went down.

Agreed mate, but then noone was comparing him to a Canelo or a Benavidez.

Cagey start from both men but it was Berlanga who methodically took McCrory apart, wasny exactly sizzling stuff but he got the job done, McCrory takes a decent shot but nowhere near aggressive enough, he did tag Berlanga a couple of times so should've took more chances, Berlanga got more and more on top each passing round and was turning up the heat in the 6th before he found the KO punch, nailed McCrory with it moments before landing it again and putting him down for the ending, cracking shot tbf

If you were to take away the 1st round KO streaks from Berlanga I'm sure we'd see his development differently but still he looks miles off the likes of Canelo

McCrory 4/1 with skybet.
Glad I only just saw this!

enjoyed the Berlanga McCrory fight, Mora was annoying though complaining about McCrory complaining about low blows, said "you can't expect the ref to look after you" - surely that IS his job.
