I see this as a very risky fight for both fighters.
On one side you have Berto, who outside of Urango has really never faced a puncher. Certainly not one as skilled as Ortiz.
On the other side you have Ortiz, who is stepping up in weight and stepping up in class. Berto will be the best he has faced by far in my opinion. Does he have the stamina and will to stick with it all night?
I'm really looking forward to this one and will probably be in attendance.
I agree 100% It's either's fight to win or lose in my opinion. I think it will come down to who lands the harder punchers first, gets off first and dictates the pace.
I actually think this fight has to end by KO. I think it will be a great ass fight too. I think its a beautiful test for both because whoever starts winning early the other's going to have to finally test their heart and try to pull something epic out to comeback.
Berto just gots to put Ortiz's heart on blast again, make it ugly on the inside and land some monster bombs to put doubts in Ortiz again while Ortiz just needs fight like Cotto like a good boxer puncher should. Go to the body and use that jab, thats how Cotto does so damn well against speed guys.
It's anybody fight but I think this definitely ends by knockout or quit!
I agree. I think it's going to end in a knockout.
Damn, you're really going out on a limb here. Picking the favorite to win over a punkass bitch like Ortiz? Wow, you really do have a lot of sack putting yourself out there like that.
Go UConn!!!!!

its an intriguing fight mo. You have two big punchers with speed, and both dont have good defence. We've seen berto hurt before and his chin is weak, imo if ortiz lands flush it could be lights out. However, berto is faster, undefeated and doesnt know how to loose. Im taking berto in this one.
I agree with this. I think Ortiz has a chance to KO Berto if he lands a big punch and stays agressive.

I think this is a much bigger risk for Ortiz. Not so much in boxing terms but in terms of careers.
If Berto loses, he will have suffered his first loss and can bounce back from this. If Ortiz loses, his career is over.
The reason I say that is because Golden Boy I think has thrown him to the wolves. I don't understand this fight to be honest. He couldn't get a win vs Peterson, even though I thought he won that fight, but he still couldn't close the show.
Berto is bigger, faster, stronger than anyone Ortiz has ever faced. I don't understand the reasoning to this fight on the part of Ortiz' managers and handlers. His credibility has been really hurt by the way he quit vs Maidana and he needs something big like this to get him back on the map.
