Andre Berto vs. Steve Forbes on Mosley-Mayorga Card

[TheGreatAli]

What's the showtime card again? Dawson - Tarver and what was the other fight?

[Mazukan]

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

I like when they use that formula.

BoxingScene.com was informed that Andre Berto (22-0, 19KOs) first defense of the WBC welterweight title against former champion Steve Forbes (33-6, 9KOs) is moving forward for September 27 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. [details]

i'll be darned.
thanks oscar!

if berto keep with that showboating,flashes of skill style he's going to have a long night. he's gotten away with it so far.
this is a full step up for berto. good luck berto. you'll need it!

[DuttyAlacrity]

This will be a good test for Berto and this has turned out to be a really good card kudos to HBO

I cant see Forbes having the power to do too much to Berto. There is the chance that Steve can out box him, but I cant see that happening either.
Andre Berto takes a unanimous decision, good step up in competition and 2 pound will give him a good fight.

andre berto is going to be the jeff lacy off the welterweight division. he doesnt have defense he pauses before he throws 1 or 2 punches. i see 2 pound upsetting berto. he has far more boxing skill and experience. he will out box berto hands down. this is a blessing from god for forbes

what are you guys talkin about? The 1 diss that everyone has had on Berto is that he hasnt stepped up in comp and you guys act like you love this matchup? Sure Forbes is good but how does beating a little man help you get anywhere at WW? Again, I know its hard because WW is so deep that its hard to pick any match for a step up fight since there all dangerous and you are kind of hesitant to put him in with a lefty but you have to get a bigger guy then Forbes if he wants to make noise at WW. Its also a bad fight because Forbes is still good enough where its a dangerous fight and he could lose. If he does lose then he's finished because no way he will be great at WW if he cant beat him. It just seems like a lose-lose situation to me

[fightingfigs]

I see the same, But he is a fresh face in the WW division we dont know how much potential he has.

[aristotlemoses]

i dunno i likeboth guys. but id like to see stevie stay at light welter cause i think he could do really good there.

Good Card! To good matchups as well! Moseley may have a bit of trouble with Mayorga though!
