Oktay Urkal is a solid guy, there's no denying that (as we saw from his fight with Cotto) I just dont think he's upper tier. I think this would be a nice test for Berto.
Urkal was a top Junior-Welter, held back by his lack of punching power.
Very good boxer, & if he had just a little more pop in in punches really should of picked up a title.
At Welter he's just not big enough, & am suprised he did as well as he did against Cotto given the difference in size & punching power.
Against any of the good Welter's he should lose..
Probably give them a very tough time due to his excellent defence & good counter-punching skills, but he just hasn't got the size or power to take much advantage of mistakes he brings out in his opponents at Welter.
