Berto Survives Gut Check, Edges Collazo In A Thriller

[brwnbufflo]

why?

I don't understand how these judges had berto up!! Berto didn't show anything but lack of a talent last night. Collazo, well it happened againg man! He got robbed in the hatton fight and now in this one.

Amazing fight...yes but the person that made it amazing was Collazo.
This match up prooves that Berto would not only, not make it in the ring with a top welterweight, he will be taken apart. I hate how some of these so called prospects boxing records weigh more than the actual fighter.

Berto got a point deduction for holding too much! and i saw Collazo winning at least 6 rounds, there were no knockdowns....how is it possible for one judge to have berto up by five points??? WTF!

I hate lennox lewis as a commentator, he was sucking on bertos D@#$ all night long. He was getting hit, and lewis was talking about how talented he is and how none of the punches landed...THEY F^CK!NG LANDED!!

They need more commentators like max!!

PPL need to take a chill pill... a robbery??? I don't know why this fight should be a robbery. It was a close fight but even if you win 7 rounds of a fight there is always a chance of loosing cuz let's face it... 3 judges... 3 different human beings... 3 different visions of and on boxing... so what's the deal... yes the fight could have been scored 114-113 for Collazo and yes the fight could have been scored 114-113 for Berto so what is a robbery. Collazo was on the level of Berto but wasn't better. Berto was on the level of Collazo and not clearly better. So there is no real clear winner. The one judge had a funny score and if that upsets you you don't have to be mad about Berto. Human beings are feel for the underdog and I understand that but let's face it... don't let hate ruin your sight...

Berto showed a lot of heart diggin deep in the last two rounds and if the last round would have gone 1 minute longer Collazo would have been in big big big trouble. I mean I really don't understand your folks. If a fighter fights exciting, get's hit and hurt, hit's back and hurts others, close fight... you hatin' on him that he has no skill... but if a guy with skill fights like Mayweather you hate on him because he is too slillfull??? I really don't get it.

I always felt that Berto who is very relaxed needs some1 who is really motivated for. It happens with boxers who are talented. If you look at his mistakes in his career so far it was IMO not because of lack of talent but because of concentration. And Collazo is considered good but name wise he's no Margarito, Cotto, Mosley etc. I'm really looking forward seeing him against a big name where he is motivated 100%

close decision for Berto, but we all know he is not ready for the real welterweights, collazo gave him trouble.....

[MegatronCEN*CAL]

Collazo walked right through everything Berto threw at him, Berto back-peddled most of the fight and held most of the fight--and they still gave him the decision.

By far the most intuitive post

Boxing's mega flaw!

What bull **** last night! Hbo is fraud, and the judges. How could they give that fight to berto, and hbo commentators sit there and bull**** us at the end of the fight. Evan max played politics last night! Shame on you hbo, judges and you max! I tought you were the only one honest at hbo! Well you cant hold a ball too long underwater so berto got exposed for what he is, a paper champ! Big ups to collazo second time he gets robbed. I sure would love to bump into those judges and hbo commentators and tell them to their face the frauds that they are. The few real boxing fans that are left deserve good fight's and fair decisions. Shame on hbo, shame on judges, and shame on boxing! Collazo keep your head up we the people know the truth. You are worthy to be called the people's champ, wepa!

Chump

Berto the people's chump! Will not and cannot handle any welters. Lost to luis collazo, imagine the other prospects. Cotto, clottey, cintron,p.williams, margarito, evan mosley. At least he got exposed (berto) as the fraud that he is

[mazukamba2904]

People should not get mad at what happened last night, Berto is undefeated and Collazo had 3 losses so in order to keep a young guy like Berto in the way of making a star fighter, they need to do exactly what they did last night"humm" it reminds me Mayweather when he fought Castillo, Castillo had 5 losses and it wasn't going to look good if they give the fight to Castillo when Mayweather was coming up so fast, Berto haves the belt that Floyd left and he also haves his luck to. I think Berto is a good fighter but Collazo exposed him and this is going to bring problems for Berto, unless they guide him and start picking opponent the same way they did for Floyd and at the end we are going to have another "Best Ever" like Mr. Floyd I don't hate Floyd but don't tell me he is or was the best when he duck the very best test out there, Cotto fought Margarito and lost and now Cotto is a chump, Margarito with 5 losses gave Cotto his first lost and Margarito is the main man now, Paquiao 3 losses and his consider the best p4p in the world right now, so lets face it Boxing is what it is and never changes, we will see more dirty decisions and more fighter running away from other fighters, one thing I give to Lennox and Floyd they retired just about right because they knew the the next fight was going to be the one they were going to regret.
