Itls obvious HBO wants Berto to be the next star....

HBO fucking disgusts me, straight up. And it's only HBO, you never see Showtime do this **** with guys on their rosters.

And they've been doing it for years.

Berto seemed to have underestimated Collazo, that or Luis just got him good in the first round.

[Mr. Fantastic]

I say they unleash Cotto on him in the last quarter of '09!!...

Cotto might get sent to prison for Murder after that fight.

[Pullcounter]

Agreed. Lets just see how Berto does against some tougher opposition.

I doubt berto's competition gets better, more than likely he will fight stiffs for a while.

Berto took Taylor's contract

[Brother Naazim]

Remember how HBO built up Jermain Taylor before he even fought Daniel Edouard? And they gave Hopkins no credit in either of the Taylor fights, at all. All they talked about is how old Hopkins was, how boring the division was before Jermain came along, etc......

They did the same with Ricky Hatton once they signed his ass. No disrespect to Ricky, he's actually turned out to be a good fighter. But they built him up as Alexander the Great or something, coming overseas to jump up to 147lbs and clear everybody out of there.

This way even before Collazo handed Ricky his ass.

[MrFactor]

he get's crushed by marg, cotto, clottey, will! he should go to 40.

He probably cant make 140. he came in at 160 tonite, which really surprised me for a guy his height.

HBO is sorry. I have been saying this for a year now. HBO is controling everything. 2008 had like 3 or 4 roberies and 2009sarted with one. This is a disgrace for boxing and their fans. This is 10 times worst than Dawson-Johnson or SantaCruz-Casamayor
