Berlanga, 28, suffered three knockdowns in the first five rounds against the British boxer. This defeat comes less than a year after his loss to Canelo Alvarez by decision last September.
The fight had extra drama due to a feud between Berlanga and Oscar De La Hoya. During the fight week press conference, Berlanga insulted the former champion turned promoter. De La Hoya's fighter William Zepeda was also on the card.
After the fight, De La Hoya didn't hold back. He posted a video on social media mocking Berlanga's performance.
"Edgar Berlanga, you've got to be kidding me! Three knockdowns in the first five rounds? And it's game over."
De La Hoya criticized Berlanga for disrespecting him before the fight. He advised fighters not to talk negatively before winning world titles.
This loss puts Berlanga in a tough spot. It's his second defeat in less than a year, and his next move will be crucial for his career.
On the flip side, Sheeraz's win could lead to bigger things. There's talk that he might get a shot at undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez.
De La Hoya knows a thing or two about big fights. The Olympic gold medalist turned pro in 1992 and won world titles in six weight divisions. He beat legends like Julio Cesar Chavez Sr, Pernell Whitaker, and Ike Quartey before retiring after a loss to Manny Pacquiao in 2008.
Berlanga will need to regroup after this setback if he wants to get back in the mix at super middleweight. The division remains ruled by Canelo, but contenders like Sheeraz are making their mark.
