Regardless of what you thought happened Saturday, one thing is for sure; Tim Bradley is a great fighter and did a lot of good things against Manny.
With that said, I remember going into the fight, there were posters who thought Berto could/would beat Bradley.
After seeing Bradley's chin, durability, toughness and boxing skills, how could a fighter like Berto ever beat Bradley?
Bradley's a beast. Not many people could have taken Pacquiao's power and his pace for 12 rounds, and actually beat manny in the later rounds- something that's even harder to do.
Berto is perfect for Bradley. He can fight as good as berto on the inside. He just has no power.
I can't say who wins, all I know is that Berto better come conditioned because he's in for a long fight.
Berto is not a good inside fighter which is why he resorts to clinching every time guys get in on him.

Nice bodyshot in your sig. Pac should have followed up with a right hook upstairs, that was part of Roach's gameplan.
BTW, this is ofcourse if Berto isnt damaged. If he's the same Berto then fine. I didnt see the Zaveck fight where some say he looked like he hadnt recovered from the Ortiz fight. He may be a lil punchy now. Not in terms of slurring but just losing and taking a bit of a beating against Ortiz, sometimes it takes a lil out of you
Berto doesn't have the stamina or infighting skills to beat Bradley, Tim is also the better boxer.
I think Berto batters Bradley on the inside. I say it over & over again. People judge Berto too hard. He's fighting all Southpaws and he's got an idiot trainer that always tells him to go the wrong way. He'll look 10x better against a righty, espically on the inside

Never believed Berto could beat Bradley.
Bradley > Ortiz > Berto
Berto is overrated.
Could be wrong...... But I would go with the more proven commodity at 47.... In the future I might change my pick between the two depending on what Bradley is able to do at the weight
I see it as a close fight that could go either way but I think Bradley wins a close decision by winning the late rounds. Berto can't go at a fast pace without gassing out and holding. Bradley has the strength to break free of the clinches and get his punches in.
Annnnnd CUT!! That's a wrap, people.
How da heck is Bradley losing this poll?
We've seen Berto not respond well to pressure... Bradley can't punch but there's something to be said for him sticking on you and not going down vs Pac despite huge lefts he'd walk into. I can never bet on Berto. Too much flash, not enough substance for me. Bradley with the infinitely better resume so I'll go with him til proven otherwise

Berto is the beter boxer but Bradley's condtion is far better than Berto's which Berto will win early rounds and Bradley will come strong from rounds 7 to 12 Bradley SD in 12
