    Andre Berto and Jeff Lacy

    Someone please tell me how Andre Berto is not an almost exact shadow of Jeff Lacy?

    Why are you all making such a big deal about this guy when he doesn't seem to be bringing any new tools to the table?

    I havent seen enough of his fights to really see his weaknesses, as most of his fights have been showcases against weak opposition. As far as body type and power they are similar though.

        Thanks for the reply. There are lots of his fights on youtube actually

        What I see in Berto that I see in Lacy...

        Headhunting
        Left Hook
        Power
        Not much on his feet
        Little combinations
        Want for knockouts
        Body Builder

        The differences I see are

        A little quicker
        A little more jabbing

          Jeff Lacy took on better opponents, Berto's taking on bums only. Jeff Lacy fought better opposition early in his career compared to Berto's crappy opposition. Though they both are in two different weight classes and I don't know how crappy of a weight class Berto is fighting in.

              I know Berto hasn't exactly fought tough competition, but you can definitely see his skills. He has a wicked uppercut, and has power in both hands. In the fights I saw he had variety to his game and even though he defense can be lackadasical at times, it's something he could work on. He fights at WW now and out of the prospects in that division he definitely seems to be the best.

                the only way these guys are similar is that they are a bit muscles and they are both black it stops there.

                Berto has blazing fast hands and quick wheels and he packs a great punch he's a great boxer puncher.

                Lacy is a slow power puncher who can only fight on the inside.



                Berto is only a prospect early in his carreer!!

                Everyone fights bums early in their early even mayweather even de la hoya everybody.

                Of course he's going to step up the competition.

                If you are going to bash anyone for fighting bums it should be JCC Jr.!
