Berto's problem is one that I've seen too often in pro and amateur boxers which is the Gap of how Good they think they are to how good they actually are.
A famous line is" A man has to know its limitations" and Berto's downfall in his career so far is fighting like he is better than what he actually is, if he actually adjusted and stopped thinking he is the illegitimate child of Tyson and Ali he may be a smarter more successful fighter and actually be closer to what he think he is.
Ps: After seeing the scores there was a robbery in the making agreed?.
Scorecards were awful as usual, going into Round 12 it was 105-103 Berto, 104-104, and 105-103 Soto-Karass. Something needs to be changed in Texas.
Wouldn't "Texas" scorecards favour the Mexican? I rather suspect those were Haymon scorecards.
Berto needs to somehow commit more to bobbing and weaving - Floyd makes defense LOOK easy but that takes work - and Berto ain't puttin in the work to get his defense correct. It might be too late now though.
He's too damn tense - start doing some yoga
As for the Gap....he definitely has less power than he thinks he has. He could tag anyone in the game with one shot - his problem is he needs a follow up with at least two more when he's fighting the Ortiz's and Guerrero's.

his problem is his legs, he has no footspeed whatsoever. great handspeed but he's top heavy. Truth is that his flaws are great for the fans but bad for him, the last 3 fights he lost were all awesome fights and you have to give the guy credit for his heart....
cosme did drop him like a sack of potatoes with just about the only punch he threw in the entire fight. even cosme fell for the hype and thought he was in there with a real star.
Worst of all Berto fell for it too and look where its taken him. If someone was straight w him and told him the truth that he aint no Ray leonard second coming and he needs to fight smarter he wouldnt be such a clusterfk right now.
his problem is his opponents can't miss landing punches on him...it doesn't matter if you're speed deprived like soto karass.
still can't get why Ortiz and especially guerrero got so much credit for beating berto that they got elevated to a level where they were put to fight a guy like Floyd
False
He beat the great Cosme Rivera!

His chin is a huge problem too. He'll start off OK, and then he'll get clocked and it sets him back. Look at the way Thurman's chin held up tonight. I guarantee Berto would have lost to Chaves and got hurt badly in those early rounds.
Yeah but he gets hit with shots that he shouldn't and not 1 or 2 but alot like that fking telegram 2mph wild hook Karass hit him with in the second i think. It was all downhill after that.
I agree, even after the Guerrero fight he was talking as if he was on Floyd's level. How can you improve a fighter who doesn't think he has flaws?
Yeah you got my point you cant improve your game if you think youre already the second coming of Jesus Christ as a boxer.
Berto needs Freddie Roach. Thats his problem !
