i'm looknig forward to the matchup, but i also think we have a real chance of a real boring hugfest since both have a tendency to clinch a lot ... wadda u guys think/expect?
Shane Mosley said that he didn't want to fight Paul Williams because their styles don't match up. So it looks like Berto's style and Mosley's style will match up with all the holding they do, and it will likely be a lame fight unless Mosley scores a dramatic knockout. Berto has never been in with someone who has the power of Mosley, so once he tastes it he will probably fight terrified the whole fight. I wish Mosley would've took the better money offer and fight Paul Williams.
Shane didn't want to fight Paul because he's too big and has a high work rate. Paul would whoop the shit out of Shane. Even Shane's dad said, "Paul should fight people his own size."
There will be a decent amount of holding. There will also be some eye popping combinations and exchanges. I'm excited for this one. I definitely expect Mosley to stop him though.
Come on now, you guys have to understand why they hug. There is no way that this is a hug fest. Berto hugs in some fights strictly due to his opponent being a Southpaw and he doesnt know how to attack them all the way or move out without getting hit. Thats pretty much the only way he hugs. Mosley only hugs when he's fighting huge monsters who are much taller. Neither of these guys will think 1 second about holding eachother. Mosley isnt a Southpaw and Berto isnt a 5'11 WW
I think this is one instance of where Jay Nady would come in handy. Is this fight gonna be in Vegas or the East Coast? I know it's a done deal, but I forget where it's gonna be at.
ya its done jan 10 i heard but on boxrec it say 30th in vegas ....

I find it hilarious how people think Mosley is gonna blow Berto out.. Stevie Wonder couldnt miss Mosley with an overhand right. He stands right in front of you not moving his hed and just wants to trade.. That isnt gonna work vs Berto as he is faster and actually throws combos.

Berto will most likely show a lot of movement and potshot. Mosley will have to stalk him all night or catch him coming in.
But most likely, there will be many clinches.
