Berto vs Bailey Looking Likely.

It's his mandatory. Boxing has some of the dumbest fans. and how do you think these guys become the mandatory? promoters/organizations can rig the rankings so you get an easy mandatory or so that a popular guy gets an undeserved title shot. the ibf needed a mandatory for their champ so they picked 2 random dudes. neither guy has ever done anything and that fight was a NC and they still made bailey the mandatory. they don't even follow their own corrupt rules. our champ needs an easy fight so bailey you are now the mandatory! congrats!

Not sure why there is so much negativity in this thread, this is a good, very interesting match up. Sure Bailey is very limited but you can bet your house that Bailey is going to test Berto's questionable chin at least once in that fight. With Berto's lack of defence & wreckless style, DAYUMMM! Someone is getting KTFO in this fight & I wouldn't at all be surprised to see Berto's ass leaving that arena on a stretcher.

I would not be surprised if Bailey get's the win.

It's his mandatory. Boxing has some of the dumbest fans. Though I agree with this. F you berto. Sick of defending these wack ass fights. Berto v. khan ortiz jones brook(if he wins) would all top bailey. Would love to see berto v. bradley but arum won't ever do that.

This card better have a good opening fight as well. yeah, otherwise they should name it the #we care card.

Too bad Bailey is a mental midget. It'd be one thing if he was a limited guy with a massive right hand...but he's a limited guy with a massive right hand that completely folds the minute things get rough.

man just one time I would like to see Bailey land that jack hammer right hand

Someone gonna get KTFO, well they should at least. Berto is an average fighter, defense is whach, chin is meh...And, he gets tagged with right hands repeatedly. If Bailey can do one thing, is dent your chin with his right hand. But, that's all he can do. And, Bailey chin is also not the best out there.

berto's back! (and when i say back i mean back to fighting stiffs for huge paydays on hbo) Hmmmmm to be honest I am intrigued by this matchup. Just because Bailey can CRACK!!!!

Now THIS is the Berto we have come to know and love, ALWAYS fighting the best NEVER ducking a SERIOUS challenge!!!!!! then you'll be delighted to hear, that they are discussing kell brook as berto's possible next opponent!!!!

bailey is like 50 years old and couldint even ko his last opponent.yeah i know, but this fight is not dibella's/al-haymon's fault. it's just the fact that bailey was the IBF mandatory for a while (over a year). even if there is like 50 spectators it's going to happen. sucks, but true.

yeah? not really surprising, since the berto-zaveck winner was bound to fight him contractually. i've been wondering what's the purpose of the mike jones-sebastian lujan IBF ww eliminator on the cotto/margarito undercard...... does it mean they are planing to get mike jones in with berto soon?
