Lamont's best work came in rounds 6-8 when he would clinch Ortiz on the inside, and stick and counter Ortiz on the outside.
Berto will be stronger than Ortiz in the clinches (If Lamont was, Berto will be). And Berto's hands speed (faster than Lamont's IMO) will be able to capitalize on any mistakes Ortiz makes.
If Ortiz had a decent jab, and knew how to counter punch he would have a good chance. But he doesn't. And if Garcia was legit about Ortiz's tendancy to to quit after he gets hit, getting hit with Berto's lighting fast hands will definitely make him quit. Imagine Berto's lightning fast straight rights, or a well timed upper-cut. It may not knock Ortiz out, but I'd bet he wouldn't want to feel no more of them.
A more like prediction is Berto sticking and clinching his way to a decision.
But u do have to commend that 140lb division. They r fighting top guys
