Promoter Oscar De La Hoya targeted his remarks at Edgar Berlanga, Devin Haney, and his favorite verbal punching bag, Canelo Alvarez.
Berlanga’s Puerto Rican Heritage Under Fire
De La Hoya continued bashing New Yorker Berlanga (22-0, 17 KOs) about his Puerto Rican claims. Oscar notes that Berlanga got upset about him saying he’s not Puerto Rican, and he dared him to produce his birth certificate to prove his heritage.
“Edgar Berlanga, I called you out for not being Puerto Rican. I simply spoke the facts,” said Oscar De La Hoya on his Clap Back Thursdays. “So, you got embarrassed and posted a 14-year-old photo of me that the world had already seen and memed a million titles.
“Why didn’t you just post your birth certificate from Puerto Rico unless you don’t have one? Don’t tell me you are another lame who is offended by the truth. Come on, bro.”
De La Hoya will likely continue to lash Berlanga until after he fights Canelo on September 14th. This should be interesting until then. Those two are headlining on DAZN PPV. The price of the event was revealed today at $89.99. Fans on social media went berserk over price, and they are unhappy about it.
Haney’s Fairground Fiasco
“In other news, Devin Haney had his comeback fight last week at the Orange County state fair,” continued De La Hoya. “I don’t know if you’ve seen the full video, but Devin throws a punch at a civilian, all while standing in front of the Ferris wheel and he missed. Bro, you’re dream has officially turned into a nightmare.”
In the grainy video that went viral, Haney appeared to throw a punch at a chunky person, who some believe works at the fair operating one of the amusement rides.
“As always, the most important topic of every week. Canelo, [bleep] you,” said De La Hoya.
There’s still some animosity between De La Hoya and Canelo over their past.
