He's only 24 years old moving up in weight 6 pounds heavier after campaigning at JWW for the past 7 years. I think that this is indicating that Ortiz is getting closer to his physical prime. I expect for his foot speed to be faster since he doesn't have to kill himself on the bike prior to fight night to lose 15 pounds, and rehydrating 10-12 pounds heavier on fight night. I expect for Ortiz to be able to take heavier shots and deliver slightly heavier shots of his own. What I also expect is for his hand speed to remain the same, but I can also see him throwing more volume punches being at a more suitable weight class. Roach has recommended for Ortiz to move up as well after watching him get beat by Maidana. What do you expect?
he will be beaten
nothing wrong with this fight, but not a special fight either
Berto wins, just another ho hum victory
Ortiz wins, not a major upset either
expecting Berto to break him down stop him in 7-9
I think he was young when he fought Maidana and I think that was a good experience for him. He has all the tools to be able to beat berto, and i am hoping he can put it together and pull off the win. I will be pulling for him.
Lets not forget Berto hasn't exactly fought murderers row of competition.

He re-hydrated 16 pounds in his last fight.
Ortiz is singing about Cat Walks, but he'll be looking to make Berto do the Chicken Dance on Saturday night.

Lmao! Hahahaha
I actually strongly favor Ortiz in exchanges against Berto which I believe will happen if it goes past 4 rounds. However I think Ortiz' timing and head movement will allow Ortiz to adapt to the speed early on, and when Berto's mistakes are capitalized he will go down by some bombs that put Maidana down 3 times with more volume and hunger.
i'm expecting a good performance, by who? i don't know
i'm HOPING for a war though...if ortiz loses, i hope he doesn't give up boxing and try pushing his rap career....hopefully both put on a great performance and become top opposition at 147. hoping for a great fight though, may the best man win...
and i noticed you're a loyal ortiz fan...have you listened to his song 'catwalk'?
