Andre Berto vs Steve Forbes Set for October 4th

Forbes has a chance. Berto is still green.

i have all of reedickyaluss's points on miki rodriguez!!!!

Forbes is a good fighter, but I think Berto wins. He's younger and faster and Forbes doesn't really have big power. A reason why I think Berto's team gave him this fight. Hoping to see some more of those vicious uppercuts he throws.

Saw this on ESPN.com: Andre Berto: The 2006 ESPN.com prospect of the year looked tremendous knocking out the average Miki Rodriguez on June 21 to claim the alphabet title that Floyd Mayweather vacated. For his first defense, Berto will be on the Shane Mosley-Ricardo Mayorga HBO undercard against Steve Forbes (33-6), who lost a lopsided decision to Oscar De La Hoya in May but made it an interesting fight. Next: Oct. 4 vs. Forbes. i want berto to win, but forbes could steal a decision.

i give u 2:1 odds - your 50k to my 100k let me think about it. I'm either betting on Stevie or on Zabdiel.

Steve Forbes to finally get a bit of luck and give Andre Berto an absolute schooling, only to win by a real close majority or split decision. It wouldn't surprise me if there is a bullshit decision here though in Berto's favour.

Next: Oct. 4 vs. Forbes. thats a compliment to mr. rodriguez. how are you allowed to fight a guy who's not even a welterweight. andre berto and hbo is the worst combination ever. this is pure crap. berto is fighting worse competition than joe calzaghe. and hbo is televising it and pretending it's good matchmaking. berto you have a title belt now. you should defend it against worthy challengers who fight in your own division. you should be punished and made to fight margarito 5 times.

I'm tryin to duck this post as well as you're last one. i give u 2:1 odds - your 50k to my 100k

Safe in terms of physical damage? Yes. He could easily lose on points though. I don't really think so... I know Forbes has a great chin but I can see him being knocked out much more so than going the distance.

lets bet frank rizo I'm tryin to duck this post as well as you're last one.

What weight did Forbes fight De La Hoya? What weight will Forbes be fighting Berto? Yea, go ahead and stutter out a response... You sound like a guy that dosen't know much about the career of Steve Forbes. Forbes was known to balloon up to 180 back when he fought at 135. Why do you think he lost his title belt at 135? Dum diddy dum dum... My point is he hasnt actually campaigned at Welter, he fought at the DLH catchweight of 150 and is being handpicked for Berto.

He isnt even a welter, PERIOD. "he's a small welter" ha ha What weight did Forbes fight De La Hoya? What weight will Forbes be fighting Berto? Yea, go ahead and stutter out a response...

I think this is as safe of a fight that could be given to Berto. Safe in terms of physical damage? Yes. He could easily lose on points though.

I gave three reasons why Berto will win, genius. Try reading. He isnt even a welter, PERIOD. "he's a small welter" ha ha
