oh please, most of us accepted a long time ago that berto was pretty much crap. thats what made this fight interesting. many ppl picked karass to win. i still dont rate karass highly tho. hes not that good.
Berto was a solid favorite, like 4-1. Karass is not that good, neither is most of the talent on that card, but they gave us a spectacular show so big props are due. Even all the losers deserve much props for the effort, Berto included, The nly reason there's gloating is cause he was protected and making more money in 1 fight vs Freddy Hernandez than most contenders make in their career
There is absolutely no reason why this fight shouldn't taken place, and nobody can dispute the fact that Karass has truly earned a shot at Mayweather. Would be nice to see Mayweather actually fight a real Mexican who isn't a complete and utter fetus like Floyd's next opponent.
Just watch Floyd duck this fight and later on in the year we'll have an article posted on this site titled: 'Mayweather vs Figueroa: The Experts Give Their Take' with the ghost of Manny Steward predicting it to be a "close, pick em' sort of fight" and Roberto Duran waxing fantastic about the time he moved up in weight and quit against Pat Lawlor.
:rofl::rofl: Seriously?
I scored that fight for Berto. Combined with Berto's left eye at least being swelled by head goring by Guerrero for which the referee gave 0 warnings, I thought Berto was kinda robbed in that fight (albeit why he's such a slow starter only he knows).
I thought Berto made a case for winnings rounds 3-11, because he landed the best shots in all of them. Guerrero fought like a dumb ass when he was winning the fight when it was long, and ate uppercuts all night on the inside.
I wouldn't classify that as being raped, despite having 1 eye thumbed and swelled shut and the other head rubbed until it shut.
The fight was a mismatch. Berto landed some good uppercuts, but Ghost walked right through them. Even at one point he was staggering, and he didnt even care. Berto got dominated by Ghost. It wasnt a close fight at all, so stop making up silly stories.
Ghost RAPED Berto and pushed him around the ring. Ghost deserved a 3rd rnd TKO after he dropped Berto and swelled his eyes to look like E.T. Sotto is NOT the Ghost. Specially after he struggled against Bumto!

Well he should get the Mayweather fight if the theory that I read on here is correct.
Other part of that theory is that they need to at least be a decent enough attraction (draw).
Soto-karass has lined himself up for some nice paydays but he aint getting floyd...
I see possible matchups with
josito lopez
victor ortiz
Shane mosely
Keith Thurman
Beat one of those guys and he will be in the running to land a fight with
Khan/alexander winner
Broner/maidana winner
:pat: Karass is a journeyman with the career high purse 10x lower that Bertos. He also has gotten 0.1% of the hype Berto has gotten on this board.
If Andre Ward beats Truax next, would people be impressed? Now flip the names and ask the same question.

JSK is still a journeyman
but he earned a payday with a name after that performance
he might get a shot at Broner if he doesn't go down in weight
maybe JSK-Guerrero gets made, or an Ortiz fight
Guerrero Berto was pretty even after the first 4 rounds IIRC. This fight was similar, Karass was busting Berto up early.
He also did a much better job vs Aydin, who had Guerrero swaying under the clean headshots he was taking late
Ghost RAPED Berto and pushed him around the ring. Ghost deserved a 3rd rnd TKO after he dropped Berto and swelled his eyes to look like E.T. Sotto is NOT the Ghost. Specially after he struggled against Bumto!
HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Gtfo, he beat the SHIET out of Berto. Sotto went life and death with Berto and had a close fight.

The amount of hype Karass is getting on these forums is ridiculous.
Berto had 1 arm for the majority of that fight. If he'd seen the final bell without another knockdown, the scores are a draw.
The ultimate irony is all the people crowing over Karass' victory are the ones saying Berto was all hype.

FUK NO! Maybe him vs the winner of Broner vs Maidana or maybe him against Keith Thurman but nobody is paying for Mayweather vs Soto Karass
The same people suggesting this fight are the same people that would b1tch and complain about it if Mayweather was to do it
