I saw berto never recovered completely to take back the edge and control the fight with his speed, Vic was to strong and in shape for him.

It's all on Ortiz to make things happen , if he lands the first good shot it could set the tone for an up set.

Go on Ortiz, you step in there with anyone(unlike some boxers in this sport.. Khan, Mayweather etc) you deserve a big win.
:rofl:
Got a real downer on Khan don't we?

I'm looking for Berto to KO Ortiz. I just believe that it is his time and he's out to prove it. I see him in the ring with Manny sometime next year. By that point, it will be a mega fight that he has a supreme chance of winning. Its time for a changing of the guard. Berto, Bradley, Khan, and Mike jones will be fighting for the top spot at Welterweight. They, and prospect Shawn Porter, will bring the excitement back to that division.
You're buggin'. The only thing "mega" about that fight is Manny Paquiao. Berto brings nothing to the table.
