Andre Berto=Haitian Ricky Hatton

Berto is American, and he doesn't fight like Hatton.

Damn, Berto is really gettin bad here.

Berto is still green. He didn't make the "elite" jump on Saturday night. It's obvious at this point Berto < Pac, Cotto, PBF, Mosley. berto is green, but his trainer is ruining a otherwise promising prospect. that lazy hugging style will end in a KTFO loss for berto in the near future.

what does being black has to do with anything. Drop that race card sh!t here. talk with facts. What has berto shown, or who has he beat to prove he is a beast like u say. HBO tends to grab young stars and hype them. Its a business, simple as that and he is one of the new ones. He has a weak chin, not much of legs game, likes to hold way too much., lacks stamina. Urango should have been an easy win for him and the corner was concern about Urango landing so he held. Like i said a long time ago, all he has is speed. A pressure fighter will cause him problems, a good boxer will cause him problems. Right now, Shane, Clottey, Cotto, Mayweather, Pacman can beat him. So he's not a beast, less u can show me otherwise Being black has plenty to do with it. All the good tough boxers from america, 75 to 85% of them are black. It's a fact. Not an opinion, a ****ing fact. Boxing thrives in the ghetto, and while not all blacks are from the ghetto, the last seeds of slavery were sewn in black roots, so it's no suprise that blacks are the best athletes of this generation. HBO will favor someone with a lighter complexion that doesn't fight as good as someone with a darker complexion. As Holmes said, the right complexion to get the connection. He was right. You can come at me all you want with 'it doesn't matter about color' all you want, but that's all boxing is about, is color. Why the **** do you think Holmes-Cooney got such massive numbers. It's all about our tribe vs your tribe. Why do you think Paciauo vs Hatton got crazy numbers? It's all about our tribe, vs your tribe in this game...I'm sorry to have awakened you from your slumber, but I suggest you take a look at history. Can you imagine what HBO would do if a nice, well-spoken somewhat educated white guy (Heavyweight) with the ability of half of what an old george foreman accomplished would do? They'd hype him up harder than shit and Klitschko would ream him. Get your head outta your ass and think before you speak boy.

He seemed a bit too concerned about clash of heads. Also neither guy looked like they wanted to work inside but the ref demanded that they did constantly. Urango would have been smart to try to work in there a bit more. I didn't think the fight was boring because there were explosive shots out of nowhere in many of the rounds but Berto still needs a performance against a quality opponent that shows all of his talents to the fullest.

look at you all slating berto! im not even a berto fan and couldnt watch the fight last night because it wasnt even on tv over here, but you have to take into account that urango has some ferocious power. Had you watched the fight you would understand his being slated. I am not one of those harsh critics but, I am going to have to echo what other people are saying about Berto, he is not all that. Here is the basic scenario of the fight last night. Urango, moving forward, bobin' his head back and forth, faint here faint there. Any time Berto got close to Urango, it was one shot and then HUG. Urango never doing anything on the inside, looked as though he was happy to be held. Half hearted jabs from Urango, I believe I heard the announcer said like in the 9th that Urango had thrown like 600 jabs and only landed 7. It was really a boring fight. Some one mentioned earlier that Berto looked a little like Judah and I have to agree, a will quick uppercut and that was about it from Berto. Berto did land some clean shots on Urango's chin. Urango has a solid little beard. What else can I say about this fight? Although it was not thee most boring fights I have ever seen, it was still a tad boring. I was all excited about lasts nights fights and I after I finish typing this, I will have forgotten the two because there is nothing more to write about. Cintron's win over Angulo still does not impress me either.

Berto is a beast. HBO would have no reason to hype him up if he lacked. Unless he wasn't black. :-) Seeing as he's black, if HBO is hyping him, you know he's gotta be good. what does being black has to do with anything. Drop that race card sh!t here. talk with facts.

hey manchater boy. our team loses by barcelona!!!shit!!!!!!!shit!!!!!!!!shit!!! your right about that! barca were on fire and we wernt. dont see the point in buyin a 30 million pound striker to then leave him on the bench in the biggest game of the season, but im sure fergie knows better than me!

look at you all slating berto! im not even a berto fan and couldnt watch the fight last night because it wasnt even on tv over here, but you have to take into account that urango has some ferocious power.

I think he fought ugly last night because of Urango's style and conditioning. Urango came to fight... Berto just doesn't wanna get Codrington'd, is all, imho. He's trying to learn from his homeboy's mistakes, back when Green separated Jaidon from his spleen, I think Berto learned to be careful inside the ring. That was a brutal knockout. I remember Green landing the cross and the left hook following, and Codrington's head popping around...it was brutal...... Clinching against a tough guy like Urango? Nothing wrong with that. He ain't a waste of talent....Berto's got hands like a mini-Sonny Liston...you guys are crazy.

Seriously. Holding to prevent return fire after every punch/combo is not boxing, that's what blocking is for. Shit is ridiculous. Berto = HBO hype Berto is a beast.

Seriously. Holding to prevent return fire after every punch/combo is not boxing, that's what blocking is for. Shit is ridiculous. Clinching is an art. Urango might not have great technique, but that guy is in shape and hits with force...you gotta do what you gotta do to win.. I was expecting a quick KO from Berto, however. Actually didn't see that one going past 4 rounds

Berto = HBO hype

Ricky Hatton isnt Hatian???

Seriously. Holding to prevent return fire after every punch/combo is not boxing, that's what blocking is for. Shit is ridiculous. its ****ing stupid.... did berto's team take lessons at hatton's gym???? berto is such a waste of speed and talent.

Actually he uses a hybrid Floyd Hatton style. He runs and potshot like Floyd and he hugs like Hatton all he's missing is the illegal elbows.

damn man, you never responded to my acceptance lol i wouldve won points.... Haha, I logged on after the fight, but i you got any other fights you're trying to bet on, I'm here. Cintron reminded us how tremendously slow Angulo is; especially a sick Angulo.

berto is boring as hell, I hate fighters who have speed and power but hold to much.

Now lets see him get KTFO by Pac like Hatton. haha Berto should be back on ESPN after tonight.
