    after his fight with trabant, i think berto is ripe for a championship belt. this guy is quick, has power in his punches, and moves fast.

      Agreed, Berto is my fav prospect along with gamboa. Depending on how he looks against this guy, seeing how he's never been stopped, depends on if i'd put him in there with a top welterweight.

          This isn't exactly a step up fight

            yeah berto is my favorite prospect as well, it should be interesting to see his progress towards the top and his reaction to it.

              I dont think he was implying that happy2box......I think he was simply stating he cant wait until that moment. This is just a stay busy fight I guess because every other top welter is taken at the moment. This guy is no slouch though, no one with a 40 something and 3 record is a slouch, especially when he's never been ko'ed.

                I know, I'm saying I can't wait until he faces the elite fighters out there.

                  This Trabant has a decent record, but has only fought in Europe. If Berto stops him that would be somewhat impressive since Trabant hasn't been stopped, but it seems like a fight that he should win. Who knows since this guy seems like a relative unknown. If Berto gets past this fight it would seem he's in line for a title shot. Cintron would be a good fight. Looks like this year could be a good year for Berto.
