Berto Still Willing To Unify With Cotto on June 13

[Pullcounter]

Nothing against Andre Berto because i am a HUGE fan, this is directed towards Lou Dibella........Where was all this "Andre wants a unification fight" talk when Paul Williams held the WBO belt?????

dibella straight up said he was gonna duck pwill

i was there in msg against zab, and thought the same thing when it came to brooklyn coming to see judah fight, but it was no contest and the place was jam packed with puerto ricans as it should be!! Thast place was electric that night and i dont see why arum would have a problem staging this fight but he does have bad blood with gary shaw so behind the scenes it may take more than we think, but i think it makes sense. It would be good for cottos resume to give another fighter his first loss as hes done to several other fighters.

I was there that night too and you're right MSG was poppin !!!
It would deefinitely be more Cotto fans than Berto fans in there.

[COACH WEBB]

though I like both fighters, I would favor Cotto in this one. However, since I am an athlete, I realize that on ANY day, ANY one can win, no matter WHO it is.

I agree. Cotto never fought a guy that hits hard and fast like Berto does. Malignaggi gave Cotto some problems with speed.

LOL..Who has Berto faced ? He hasn't faced anyone remotely close to Cotto's caliber either.

Zab has speed & power and that didn't go well for him. Cotto will break him down and he'll be done by the 9th or 10th round. Berto wears down as the fight goes on all by himself wihout a the other fighter continuously attacking the body like Cotto would. If Collazo was better conditioned he would've been able to take Berto out in the 10 or 11th.

If this fight happens, I can see Berto stopping Cotto late if he survives the early onslaught by cotto. We all know cotto fades late evidenced by his last two bouts of long distance. This will be a good fight and I see no reason why it shouldn't happen. Ill be open to bets for Berto in this one, reluctantly!

Im in!!!


50k COTTO OVER BERTO

let me know.

he surely did!

[buckdacious]

the only reason berto is pushing for this fight is because of the money that represents to him..

after his ****ty performance against lou the pussie collazo...... he just land to earth and realize that hes gonna get his ass whooped really soon.. and it might be... SOME CAB DRIVER. (remember cosme rivera) soo....

wtf... thats the bigger name..... now... mosley vs cotto.. can wait... lets just get rid of berto first please??

thanks

none of my Ricans are pussie dog. get your **** togther. Collazo is very good and Berto had to win the last 2 rounds to get the win. shows heart if anything, Collazo is no cupcake like Jennings.

For yous guys that have been there..How IS the Garden to watch a fight? Not as far as the "excitement factor" but as far as sightlines and being able to get a decent seat/view of the action for around $200?

Ive only been to Boardwalk Hall and it's obviously a much smaller venue..

I live in Philly and I'm thinking about making the trip up for the Cotto fight in June...

I disagree. Judah busted up Cotto's face and hurt him early. Cotto strength wore Judah down and the better man won. But Judah and Berto are two different fighters. I would slightly favor Cotto but it's no gimme. Cotto is not invincible and far from it. I think Berto's people see something that makes them confident about this fight. It remains to be seen.


Cotto will break him down and he'll be done by the 9th or 10th round. Berto wears down as the fight goes on all by himself wihout a the other fighter continuously attacking the body like Cotto would. If Collazo was better conditioned he would've been able to take Berto out in the 10 or 11th.

That's a ridiculous statement. That's like saying if Collazo had an extra arm he would would have stopped Berto Thefact is Berto pulled out the two rounds big and he deserves credit for that. Making excuses for Collazo doesnt cut it. It's only speculation anyway. He was in good enough condition.

[KnockoutTheFat]

That would be great but I'm not high on Berto's punch resistance so I'm gonna go with a Cotto KO in 7. Love unification though
