Wow what a card.

this is a GREAT card considering its on regular HBO...

berto should be able to decision forbes...a knockout not so likely because forbes delt with oscar very well in that sense...he was able to hold his own...and from what i've seen form berto he's a fast, good boxer that definately packs a punch but even at this stage of forbes career i dont see him getting stopped.

mosley and mayorga is a whole other topic to debate in which mosley should be able to win a UD over mayorga but mayorga is in the fight all 12 rounds because of his ability to stop men.

Props to Golden Boy and HBO for moving this off PPV and adding an interesting undercard. Of course if it werent for Showtime stepping up this wouldnt have happened either.

I like the Mora/Forrest rematch on the Casamayor undercard too. September and October are looking good so far. Makes up for a weak August.

I think this will set up a fight between Shane and Berto.

too bad this isn't in Las Vegas.. I love watching Mayorga and Mosley!! two of my favs!
I didn't always like Mayorga but it's impossible not to like him because win or lose it's always an entertaining fight!
