But man Berto has a big ass jaw and chin, it just shows even if you have a big jaw doesn't mean you hare an iron chin cause he gets hurt a lot in fights.

let's go guerrero. got e-points riding on the ghost, but i wouldn't be upset with either man winning this fight. hopefully it's a good one. looking forward to it. berto's got the power to hurt the smaller guerrero, but i think guerrero's boxing skills will carry him to a ud. we'll see what happens on saturday. thurman/quintana should be a good one too. winner really puts themselves in the mix at 154.

From the great article Thomas Hauser just published on PEDs:
"Guerrero asked that the fighters be tested for PEDs by VADA. Walter Kane (Guerrero’s attorney) says that Richard Schaefer and Al Haymon (Berto’s manager) refused and would only allow testing by the California State Athletic Commission and USADA.
In other words, Berto said he’d do drug testing, but not with the people who caught him earlier this year. “I’m not happy about it,” Kane says, “but in the end, we really didn’t have a choice. Golden Boy controls the purse strings, and they’re calling the shots.”
Berto should of been suspended for a year by the rules because of his failed Ortiz test but because of GBP's relationship with the USADA it got swept under the rug.
