That's a stoppage waiting to happen. I would love it, just to see what Maidana really has at welterweight. Man, the bombs these two would land on each other, I'm completely sold on wanting this fight to happen.
I believe Maidana has more brute strength than Berto. Berto's power really comes from his speed, which Guerrero neutralized for the most part.
Some of guys in this board say that Madiana has no skill, but look at the Aydin fight, he was able to land some hard shots and there's no reason why a more skilled Maidana can't.
I picked Guerrero to win by decision the last time, and I'll stick to that prediction. Maidana has much more dog in him compared to Berto, so he will not allow Ghost to punk him. Guerrero won't be as worried to back Maidana up because of the slower hand-speed. Maidana still hasn't proven his power @WW yet, and Ghost was absorbing Berto's shots pretty well. It would be another street fight where Ghost does enough to get a decision. I only see Chino winning by KO.
wouldn't mind seeing maidana vs guerrero next. wasn't it supposed to happen back at 140, but guerrero suffered that shoulder injury? but i think this would be a good entertaining fight. i'd probably favor maidana to win it.
This would have been relevant a year or two ago, but Guerrero's stock had shot way up while Maidana has earned a bad loss and then looked pretty bad in his last outing. Maidana/Berto would make sense at the moment.
Agree, Maidana has to rack up a win besides Soto Karass at welter, Ghost has been going to work, jumping up two weight divisions, and putting up some good performances , he deserves a decent payday.

maidana would get whupped
he's worse then berto by a pretty big margin IMO
the idiot is barely using his jab lol
i dunno, i think maidana looked impressive in his first fight with Garcia in the corner. i can't say for sure who's the more talented fighter between maidana or berto, they're both less skilled than a guy like guerrero that's for sure but both have heart and maidana has a better chin
i would like to see that fight, as I posted in another thread a few days ago
i think guerrero beats alexander and maidana, matthysse vs guerrero would be ****ing epic but i'm not sure if lucas will ever move up to 147
Well I missed the fight tonight and didn't see Maidana vs Karass,
Wtf.... Then how can u judge a damn thing about this matchup? Maidana has improved in leaps and bounds since he fought devon, which let me remind yall, was Chino's first fight at 147. He's grown into the weight more now and under garcia, has started to show skills to match his unconquerable heart. Like I said to the other guy, Guerrero impressed me, but Maidana is a different beast from Berto. Just wait a damn minute lol. Maidana stopped Ortiz, and Ortiz fought life and death with prime ped'd berto, if u want to use that as a barometer.

Agreed. Guerrero impressed me, but Berto was coming off a 14 month layoff and probably off PED's for the first time in a while. It was a great fight, but Berto seemed equal to ghost's size in there, and Berto seemed more the worse from his layoff. People are underestimating Chino. Guerrero is there to be hit. Let's not get ahead of ourselves and pretend he can outgun Maidana. Come on now.
If Guerrero continues to fight in this style, it could be. I thought he would box against Berto, but he didn't. What's to say he won't fight Maidana head-on like he did tonight? Chino probably doesn't hit harder than Berto and isn't faster, so I don't see why he wouldn't try and walk him down.

Guerrero boxes on the outside at range against Maidana , it wont be fight of the year lol .

KO'ing a guy in 6 rounds= Going life and death?? Idiot.
Berto got dropped twice and lost to a blown up featherweight....LOL!
Can Guerrero make 126 anymore, seriously doubt it. "Berto got dropped twice and lost to a blown-up LW" is more accurate :lol1:
Well I missed the fight tonight and didn't see Maidana vs Karass, but I don't see how Maidana could win. After Guerrero beat Kats I figured he could jab Maidana for a UD. But I haven't seen either fighters recent fights so take my opinion with a grain of salt. I love Maidana but he's the epitome of styles make fights, and unfortunately his style doesn't suit him for the top contenders at 147.
maidana would get KO'd by berto
in his last fight he went life and death with a journeyman
btw i loved how devon beat the crap out of him bum ass maidana couldn't even win a round ahahahaha he whupped him so bad he had to hire a new trainer

there should be no problem for both to ink the contract again. i favor maidana 1.5 right now but, the way ghost fought tonight it could very well be another maidana-alexander.
i've been wanting this fight ever since it was cancelled last year. maidana wrote on his twitter that he wanted guerrero or malignaggi. i wouldn't mind seeing one of them try and take malignaggi's belt and then face each other.
