    Were you scared for Berto?

    I was genuinely scared for Berto for the first 3 rounds. I saw Forbes landing clean effective blows and even though Berto didnt appear to be hurt, you could tell they were getting to him. I thought to myself "OH ****, this is going to be a long ass night for him". Good thing he kept the intensity and pressure up (although many of his combos were hitting gloves) and started taking control of the fight.


    Good job Berto.

      Berto did well but in my opinion was lucky that was steve forbes and not any of the top welters like Williams, Margarito and cotto.

      Berto will taste defeat if he faces any of these fighters at this stage.

        There was no reason to be scared, I was just curious to see if he could overcome the problems Forbes was giving him.

          If you talking about their performances i totally agree.

          and at this stage of their careers berto is the better fighter.

            berto is extremely fast! it is too bad that he does not have a little more power to go with that speed and i would like him to tighten up his defense a bit. i almost think that he should be fighting at 140 instead where he would be more powerful in comparison. also, he weighed in at 145.xx so i think he could make the jww limit without too much trouble. maybe i am wrong and he will do very well at ww. i agree with precision san, i think if he faces the top of the ww division he will be defeated.

              I think Berto is talented but he gets hit way too much to beat any of the elite guys. He needs to really tighten up on his defensive consistency. a cople of rounds he looks solid but then he will allow himself to get peppered.

                I agree. He will improve and will be ready for them soon.

                I think he'll taste the canvas against Collazzo, not sure he'll stay down but he'll taste it.
