    To be fair, Flaw..he had a good point. How did you score it if you missed the first round?

      I think Berto will be fine if he can improve his defense & footwork. The raw abilities are there, strength, speed, chin, etc. I always look forward to his fights but after last night I'm sure he realizes that he needs to step his game up to the next level.

        I was on fight judge as a guest. 100% gave it to Collazo.

          Lol, you got caught in a lie and now you can't think of a way out.

          If you don't like me calling you out on your BS, then stop coming out with BS.

          I'm not following you, it's just that you spam up almost every thread with your crap.

          Answer the question: If you missed the first round, and scored it 114-113 for Berto, who did you score the first round for?

            Bertos what 25 years olds, and Collazos 27, both have enough time to make it big at Welterweight.

              Not right now, no. Maybe in a few years' time, he'd get beaten by all of the top guys right now.

                Margarito, Clottey, Williams, Cotto, Cintron, etc.

                I think Berto should give Collazo a rematch then fight Jesus Soto Karaas. This tough mexican who has a similar style to Margarito.

                I don`t think he was all that hurt,he was off balance when he got hit with that shot that sent him to the ropes.

                Berto likes to hold to get those uppercuts in.

                I think Berto gonna do well but not dominate the welterweight division.That division has very to good Quality opponents in it.Its hard to be dominant in a division like that just ask Cotto.


                And Berto i believe is going to get better cause of that fight cause i think he`s going to learn from it.


                Hopkins was`nt nowhere nears as good as he is now earlier in his Career.He lost his first fight against a nobody.

                So people should not Assume Berto is not going to amount to nothing in boxing. You live and you learn and you correct your errors.

                Roger Mayweather said when he fought, belts exchange hands quick cause his division had very good quality opponents.That`s how the welterweight division is.

                  Hopkins had a grade A chin which allowed him to fight through his mistakes.

                  Berto? Not so much.

                    I agree. I also add Cintron to that list.

                      I got a feeling all the guys you mentioned will move up maybe this year, if that's the case and they manage to keep him away from them, yes.
