I was at Berto-Ortiz last night! What a fight, some notes...

The crowd was on it's feet for much of the fight. Every round ended in a roar from the crowd. the first 6 rounds were awesome... the last 6 not so much The most incredible moment was Ortiz knocked down Berto in the sixth. No one saw it coming and the place went absolutely nuts. we went nuts at the crib too While many on here claimed to hear boos when Mayweather was shown, there was probably just as many people cheering. However, there was a "Fight Pacquiao" chant that began afterwards. Boooooooooo!!! Paulie Malignaggi was there as well, and he's a real man of the people. Before the fight he spent a lot of his time in the lobby taking photos with fans, signing autographs, and just conversing with people. I was impressed. At one point I went to take a piss, and there he was, standing in line with the rest of us talking about the fight. While Mayweather was the most notable figure there, anyone would tell you that Paulie was the most visible. True fight fan. watch... ortiz vs. malignaggi next by order of GBP Larry Merchant was also very visible and spent a lot of his time before the fight in the same manner. dude is trying to save his job The crowd was virtually split. Many people were rooting for Berto and just as many for Ortiz. However, towards the end, it was clear Ortiz had won the hearts of the fans in attendance. probably cause most the crowd bet money on berto Watch out for Thomas Dulorme. Kid looked sensational in knocking out Cuello. Looked polished and like a great prospect. Expect big things. looking forward to more of him All in all, a great night at the fights. The first time I went to MGM at Foxwoods was to see Froch-Taylor, and I didn't think I could ever top that. Now I'm sitting here and I'm not sure what was better. In terms of sustained excitement Ortiz-Berto takes. congrats on the seats

I was there as well. I had seats in section 1. It was an awesome experience. Met Pauly Malignaggi, Harold Lederman, Lampley/Merchant/Steward, Luis Collazo and saw Marco Antonio Rubio eating a peice of pie at a little dining place. I walked in to get a water before I left the MGM and there he was lol. Got some pretty sick vids of Ortiz and Berto at the end of the fight http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTnT0SXzMkY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSreUkfLOdM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc3cc-vzFzY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dybfe6VYuFk unfortunately all I had was my cell phone to record these videos =\ great stuff, thanks for the links man!

Very cool to hear. Glad you had a good time. It was a great fight. I wish I could've been there.

green K dans. Thank you sir. And thank you to all the others who gave me green k as well.

I'm still pumped up about it. Truly a great night and an easy and fast drive for me. Been a fan of Ortiz for a while but damn what a fight! Berto has heart I tell u he took some shots and kept coming and asking for more. Overall great night! I can't wait for the next one I will be there for sure

I was there too. My first live fight and i

lucky SOB, how do you always end up watching great fights live? :D I've lucked out. :) I did go to see Dawson-Johnson 2, which wasn't a very good fight. But other than that I have been pretty lucky. However, I did see that Angulo KO of Yorgey at the Dawson fight. Also saw Alexander's vicious KO of Urango. Blink and you missed it...

Rubio was there wasn't he? I think I saw him in the crowd. yea they annoucned him in the crowd

Yea i was there too. There were like 5 different Pacquiao chants throughout the night when mayweathers face was the screen. it was awsome. It was also one of the most knowledgable crowds ive been apart of. Berto and Ortiz chants were going back and forth. everyone around me was aware of the Rubio upset last week and everyone around was looking for the Lopez results after the fight. Was a great great night at the fights green k to you as well.

Thanks for the recap. I wanted to go but didn't want to spend 4 hours driving up there from Jersey.

Glad you had a good time. The place looked like it was coming unglued in that fight, so it is always good to hear a first hand account.

I heard that the first time they showed Mayweather on TV, the cheers and boos get going back and forth as to who was winning. Had to be awesome seeing that fight in person.

Also, they did not sell enough seats so they had to close the balcony. If they offered more reasonable prices, maybe this wouldn't happen.
