Andre Berto and Jeff Lacy

[English Lion]

yeah, i can see the resemblence and the similarities between lacy and berto, i agree with you.

[Cletus Funk]

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'm pretty much with you from what I've seen of him. There's not a lot of potential there to be successful at the highest level. He looks like a very poor man's Pryor to me.

[flipside]

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.!

jcc jr will be spoonfed weak fighters until he is 80-0 then his prospect status will be upped to semi- contender then if he is 100-0 he will become a contender.

hes faster than lacy and unlike lacy, he has a decent jab.

but i think, like lacy, as soon as he fights some1 with a better jab, he'll be dissected.

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

Being right is fun.

I guess. A lot of good prospects fight weaker opposition in the beggining of their careers. Look what happened to Vargas he shouldn't have fought Trinidad so damn early he just wasn't ready.

Yes it is. Good karma for that. Shut up alot of ppl.hhaha.OWNED

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.

They are exactly the same.

Definitely not going to say he still doesn't have potential... The knockout might knock sense into him.

Point is all that headhunting and want for KOs always make a fighter worse...

Yeah well this should teach him because he came in senseless with no hands up and got dropped. He has the ability to go to the body. He just need to work on getting his hands up and punch selection. Becuase headhunting can tire you out and he'll be fighting 12 rounders soon.
