Its point is that the card is still just a skeleton that is being filled out with fights.<\/p>\n<p>Two of the fights may not attract much interest, making fans less likely to splurge and order it on DAZN PPV.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The undercard for Mario Barrios vs Ryan Garcia on February 21st<\/p>\n<p>Armando Res\u00e9ndiz vs. Edgar Berlanga \u2013 WBA super middleweight<br \/>\nGary Antuanne Russell vs Andy Hiraoka \u2013 WBA light welterweight<br \/>\nLester Mart\u00ednez vs TBA<\/p>\n<p>Turki Alalshikh will participate in the event as a sponsor, but it is a PBC event. The news for the undercard was revealed by boxing insider <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/julianisjulius\/status\/2002953157375033394\" rel=\"nofollow\">Julius Julianis<\/a> tonight.<\/p>\n<p>What will disappoint fans is Edgar Berlanga being given a world title shot against WBA interim 168-lb champion Armando Resendiz. Berlandez is coming off a knockout loss to Hamzah Sheeraz on July 12th in Queens, New York. It appears Resendiz-Berlanga is the co-feature on the February 21st card.<\/p>\n<p>Edgar has lost two out of his last three fights. It\u2019s an oddball fight that doesn\u2019t move the needle with fans outside of the Brooklyn, New York area. If Berlanga were coming off some wins, it would be fine having him fight for a world title against Resendiz.<\/p>\n<p>But his record is 1-2 in his last three fights. If we\u2019re treating boxing like other sports, where you have to earn the championship games or matches by winning, Berlanga doesn\u2019t belong fighting Resendiz. It sends a bad message to have him in this kind of fight.<\/p>\n<p>Hiraoka fighting Gary Antuanne Russell doesn\u2019t do much to create interest in this career. The 29-year-old is ranked #1 with the WBA, but his resume is barren of name opponents. I believe it would be more interesting for fans to scratch Hiraoka from the card and replace him with Ernesto Mercado or Keyshawn Davis.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Segal has been a key voice at Boxing News 24 for more than a decade, delivering fight news, previews, and analysis with a direct, insider edge.
