Andre Berto vs Juan Urango or even possibly Carlos Quintana for May 30th

One of the names that has emerged as a possible challenger for welterweight titleholder Andre Berto is exciting junior welterweight titlist Juan Urango. Berto promoter Lou DiBella and Urango promoter Leon Margules of Seminole Warriors Boxing are discussing the bout, they both told ESPN.com. If made, it would headline HBO's "Boxing After Dark" on May 30, possibly from the Hard Rock resort in Hollywood, Fla. DiBella said he's talking about the fight with HBO (whose first choice is Zab Judah) and waiting for Urango to be approved as an opponent. Margules said he's also interested but needs to talk it over with his fighter. DiBella said former titleholder Carlos Quintana, whom he also promotes, is another possibility. So looks like it'll be one of those two. What a joke that Zab Judah was actually a possiblity in getting another title shot. Quintana vs Collazo should be on the undercard if Berto doesn't fighting Quintana

Berto-Quintana would be interesting. A Urango fight would be ok. I doubt they put Berto in there wit Shane.

Juan Urango should stay at 140 and defend his title or unify. Berto should give Collazo a rematch, or fight Mosley. I agree, rematch collazo or fight mosley

i think berto quintana could be a real good fight ... wouldnt want to see him face urango or judah ... the collazo rematch is what i want to see happen ... but i think that fight will happen eventually no matter what, so i anit worried if he fights someone else first ... if he were to fight shane i think that could be good too. i think shane would prob beat him.

Berto would beat Urango handidly, a fight with Quintana would be a decent test for Berto.

Why would he fight Urango or Quintana instead of a deserving rematch for Collazo?? If he aint fighting Mosley or Cotto he needs to be giving Collazo a rematch, seems like he's ducking to me

Berto would out box Urango. I can't see Urango dealing with the hand speed. Quintana on the other hand.....that looks like an L for Berto. Quintana will eat you up if you give him time and space to operate.

I don't like it. Berto should first rematch Collazo, then make an offer to Shugs for unification. Urango, meanwhile, should fight the winner of Bradley-Holt for more unification niceness.

Would Berto step down in weight to fight Urango? I'd prefer Berto/Quintana or EVEN Berto/ZAB berto needs to rematch collazo I disagree. Let Collazo fight someone like Cintron. Let him show his measure against someone else at this point. Once he performs against another elite, THEN a rematch with Berto would build more suspence. Right now niether Collazo OR BERTO are given the credit they deserve. If they go through another war in the ring like they did in January, it'd be two 'underated' fighters in an 'overated' battle. Beat more people to show their quality before the rematch! http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/pp312/anonymousboxing/welters2-1.gif

Berto would be in tough with Urango who can take a punch. We'd have to see Berto put his boxing shoes on.

Urango is pretty big at 140 anyway so I think a move to 147 wouldnt be too bad. Decent fight, although I think a Collzao rematch is needed at some point.

DiBella won't put Berto in the ring with Quintana. No way he has those kind of balls, Quintana will take Berto to school. Urango should get housed, but he's got a punchers chance. He's WIDE open for those uppercuts though, Evangelista employed that same ear muff defense Cotto has on Urango.

So looks like it'll be one of those two. What a joke that Zab Judah was actually a possiblity in getting another title shot. Quintana vs Collazo should be on the undercard if Berto doesn't fighting Quintana Nice, thanks for the info..:boxing: I would like to see a Collazo vs Berto rematch or Quintana Vs Berto..
