Show us that heart Berto... Win or lose.. He will fight, and should he fall, he will go out on his shield.

From Bertos Facebook:
Everybody send ya blessing to Haiti they just got hit with a 7.0 earthquake. This weighing really heavy on my heart right now. have a lot of family in Haiti. We've been calling and cant any contact. This is a heart breaking situation. Please pray for Haiti.
WAR BERTO
Berto get's no respect\love presently, because most SO-CALLED fans of the sport don't hop onto the bandwagon until the fighter is on top. Then all of a sudden he's all that and some more.
Look at what happened with Pacman - most of these creeps didn't even know who Pac was until he fought DLH and now they're rabid so-called fans of his.
Its like when the Patriots seemed to have a dynasty going - everybody's a Pats fan all of a sudden ..... now that they're out of the loop - where are those so-called fans???? ......... on the next bandwagon.
Berto has been making noise for years - but his bandwagon still has room on it - so the so-called\fake boxing fans are on the sideline waiting until he beats a big name ...... then watch how many hop on the wagon and start trolling the forums.
Its a silly cycle that goes on and on ... and only a few really pick up on it. Its like "who's the next big thing" mentality with some of these guys.
:lame:
i like this post. i agree. i cosign
Berto has to be careful. If he goes into this fight with to many emotions he could get caught. While I do believe that Shane will win. I believe that Berto's best chance to win is to work his jab and fight smart. Don't get into a war.
This post is so true.....I hate band wagoners. I made a thread saying I think Berto will never amount to anything before. Yet I think he can beat Mosley and Im rooting for him especially after the tragedy in Haiti.
And to the Pacman thing...Bro I been here since Late 04- early 05....and Pac threads and fans were scarce. Now that hes on top theres a shit load. These guys werent even around then. Most of them couldnt tell you about Doniare or know who Pancho Villa was.
People say the same thing about Williams now. With me I been a fan of his since I first seen the kid 2 years ago fight Walter Mythiasse on HBO...since then I been calling him the truth. Reed gets mad when I say this..lol...But I swear I was his FIRST fan on this site before he got his most feared tag. Now look............
I love the sport and love alot of fighters..the two guys who have me most excited is Rigondeaux and Hasegawa.
Hasegawa is no joke!!!
The thing is he needs to travel more. But he's all business, no flash, no celebrations ... he just whips azz in a major way.

I was mother****er!!!!! :lol1: Guillermo is on my radar... dude will be hell to beat.
From his twitter:
News is bad commin from Haiti. Family members are missing and some already found dead!!!! My heart bleeds for my people.
Damn man :(
Bertos going to give his all in this fight... Mosley will have to kill him.
****.... Thats no joke. I hope Berto's family are alright.
I have respect for Berto, I hope he puts up a good fight. He has a good chance in this fight.
In my opinion though, Berto's chin concerns me and i think Mosley can take advantage.
I want Mosley to win also.
You're a real fan of the sport.
There is a difference between someone who follows the sport and those who follow a fighter.
If you follow the sport, then you recognize the fighter's with serious potential when you first see them and start following their fights. That's a real fan!!!!!
The guys that follow the fighter ONLY after they made their mark, aren't real fans of the sport ... they're only there as long as their guy is on top.
If their guy ain't winning .... he ain't their guy ...... know what I mean lol!!!!!
Yeah man definitely... I am still making adjustments and getting used to Roy being out of the sport... even if he fights again.. he will not fight past 2010.. But I have other fighters I am very excited about. Not sure any fighter will ever get me as excited as Roy used too, as everyone has their ultimate favorite fighter.. but there is always new blood coming to the sport, and great matchups being made all the time.
I went to a live show in Tacoma on saturday and was PUMPED UP to see a guy who was 0-0 fight another guy that was 0-0. That should tell you how much of a fan I am!
Also, I was screaming in one fight where one guy was 7-5 and the other guy was 11-10. I just love boxing, winning isn't everything.
Hell yeah, we have our own local boxing show every year the day before Thanksgiving, and I usually know a few of them... Spadafora fights in Erie a lot because he lives here and in Pittsburgh... always gets me going! Spaddy came up for our MMA fight cards too..
I agree... whats funny is all my favorite fighters dont have a huge bandwagon... Gamboa, Berto, Dirrel are all unproven.... Bradley is only proven to an extent as is williams... and roy is shot. I dont need fighters to be #1 to be a fan.

I swear the dude that does the intros for these interviews has down syndrome
:rofl:
I don't dislike Berto, I just like Shane better.
Which is why I'm rootin' for him, but Berto is no Margarito.
Damn Berto gets ZERO love around here
yea he ain't got to many online fans.i'm a big berto fan though i give him a good chance to win.

If this was pre-Nazim I'd say Bero by SD.
Now Mosley by late TKO.
Nazim is that good.
WAR MOSELY!
Nazim can put together a good game plan but he cant win the fight for you.
Mosley is accustomed to fighting slow fighter's on their way out or fighter's who are more hype than substance. The Mayorga's, The Margarito's, The Callozo's and the Vargus's.
He hasn't been in the ring with a young-blood with both speed and power for over 6 years - couple that with a year's layoff and an over-confidence based on a win over a mentally distorted Margarito {Illegal wraps discovery pre-fight}. A Margarito that was too slow, defenseless and unequipped to compete with elite experienced fighters.
Mosley is riding a false-high. And all this new-found confidence - which is based on illusions will bring reality to the forefront in a crashing manner.
BERTO will win this fight!!!!!!!
Berto has been disrespected by Mosley {i.e. I'm looking through you to my next fight} and he is experiencing an emotional boost {Earthquake in Haiti} in many ways. Berto is being catered to as the next big thing and he is looking for a target to make his mark .... Enter Mosley {The ultimate mark} and We will see a Berto that is on point, lightning fast and fighting circles around an aging Mosley.
BERTO will win this fight!!!!!!!
I've got all my e-paper on it and I'm putting $1,000 on it in real paper.
RIP to those who have fallen under the natural disaster in Haiti.
Great post!....
