Hamzah Sheeraz vs. Edgar Berlanga | DAZN - 12 July 2025

[MightyWarrior]

I’d love to see the gent Sheeraz knock this clown out but I think Berlanga might be a lot better than we think

[golden_labrador]

gone with Berlanga decision. will watch on YouTube in the morn

[Taansend]

It doesn't mean anything but looking at Canelo's opponents since Bivol (all points wins for Canelo) & it goes....

Golovkin - Never fought again

Ryder - Kayoed by a fighter moving up in weight

Charlo - Never fought again

Munguai - One win then kayoed by a fighter moving up in weight

Berlanga - One win then kayoed by a fighter moving up in weight

Skull - Still running around the Middle East

UPDATED

Either Canelo is ruining them.

Or Canelo money is ruining them.

Or Canelo can't pull the trigger anymore.

Or maybe Canelo is now in that late Mayweather stage where he's content to pile up points in a lower risk manner.

Or all of the above.

Putting that out so quickly is an insult to the tens of fans who paid for it.

yep. i generally won't watch most fights live nowadays. just try to avoid spoilers and watch it on YouTube for free the next day

Not really.

Big difference in watching something live and watching a replay.

We know Ring are doing this anyway. They put out the full Eubank-Benn fight on Monday following too.

[MightyWarrior]

Haha pretty funny Mickey, was a good card though.

Home town NY ref outrageously trying to get Belanga back into the fight there. Slowwwing everything down. Nearly got his head taken off as a result.

So Hamzah the best fighter ever from Pakistani heritage?

Jim Lampley being lauded, but the old braggart isn’t as good as he was 20 years ago, his ego and weed/booze befuddled brain put paid to that ( calling out his younger colleagues at every chance, blathering on about beards protecting chins ) Tarver is entertaining enough, but comes up with “the beard disguises where the chin is” ……dear god help us.

The earlier DAZN team A LOT better

[Ruthless-RKO]

Let's wait a few years.

I mean he only has to top Amir Khan, but he's a unified world champion and put on some great performances..

[MightyWarrior]

Oh yeh I somehow forgot about Amir ..

You could see Hamzah looked very dangerous with those slashing, just missing, TNT combos early on.
up to then I was taken in by Belangas swagger and confidence beforehand, even the ring walks seemed to back it up…the low key Hamzah looked a bit out of his league…but f**ck me he soon put everyone right on that score.

And showed just how far Canelo has fallen, just before his overcooked Bud Crawford super fight.

Lampley was quite bitchy with Tarver. Tarver said "nice uppercut" to which Lampley said "by ?". Isn't that obvious if you are watching the fight?

He's only good for welling up during his closing monologues

Khan would definitely top list , you also have Adam Azim currently who I'd put on par with Hamzah at this time.

[golden_labrador]

you could argue the first punch was to the back-of-the-head in the combo which first knocked Berlanga down. nice win though from Sheeraz proving the doubters wrong. I'd like to see him fight Adames, but at 168. Adames deserves a rematch and it gives Sheeraz a chance to fix that blemish on his record.

and the ref definitely giving Berl all the time in the world to keep going at the end of the 4th (although he stopped it pretty sharpish beginning of the 5th).

the commentators were waffling on about beards for almost a minute totally ignoring some actual action in the third. producers should have been on the earpiece telling them to stfu and commentate

[Bigdogsnose]

Be really interesting to see who’s next. Canelo, don’t see it. Fancy he gets beat off crawford, even if he won’t I can’t see the Sheeraz fight floating his boat at all.

Bud would walk away with win maybe would entertain a rematch, but not Sheeraz.

Not much on uk scene. Callum Simpson would just be an epic mismatch. Eubank? If he beats Benn and looks better? That could be a big fight.

It’s a bit risky fighting the other top lads whilst canelo holds belts hostage.

[mickey1975]

He's still an easy fight for Canelo. Canelo has an ATG chin.

[Controversial]

Yeah I think Canelo would beat him up, he’d be hitting his arms and body and wear him down

[Bigdogsnose]

I think canelo beats him too. Just not sure he would want to fight him, doesnt do much for him.

[Jimmy2020]

Still a lot of money for this card I think and presumably once you used up this free trial deal you can't do it again for another card in the future that is worth paying for?

I mean, I get a round of 3 drinks at the pub in London and it’s 25 quid…

That's okay then. Let's make boxing the preserve of middle aged people with London money. F*ck the kids on estates and elsewhere in the world.

The gentrification of boxing will be its downfall, guaranteed.

You'd be doing more for the sport if you watched these events on your firestick and donated your money to an amateur gym towards subs.

I guess Turki and DAZN must have seen what I expect were truly woeful PPV numbers and the penny has dropped? Paywalls behind paywalls were only ever going to end one way - with boxing dead. The general public don't know who Hamzah Sheeraz is and that's a shame.

Clean out the Hearn, Frank, Joshua and Fury generation and move forward, they have had their fill. Time for the youngsters and a fresh approach that spreads the money out more evenly.

They should do it sooner, though. Canelo v Crawford won't sell well either. DAZN are on thin ice, I reckon.

Good thing it’s on Netflix then.

They probably won’t get any new subscribers. Everyone and their dog has Netflix for the general movies and tv shows.. this will be at no extra cost.

Taylor-Serrano 3 did around 6-8 million viewers.

Canelo-Crawford shouldn’t expect Tyson-Paul numbers.

Maybe Netflix putting on more fights has backed DAZN into the corner.

Oh yes. Good point.

[Taansend]

Edgar's Missus reckons Hamzah did a Margarito & had dodgy hand wraps.

She's getting some stick on her Insta account.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Lmao. She should have stayed quiet.

Hamzah is a gentlemen in the sport.

Wilder-esque
