By Cliff Rold - There are a couple of strong schools of thought when it comes to rising Welterweight contender Andre Berto (24-0, 19 KO).

Yelp for sure the achielles heel of Berto is his chin IMO... which became even more suspect after Calazzo rocked him in the first round in January... His chin will for sure be tested this Saturday and I can see why Clottey said there was no way in hell they were going to put Berto in the ring with him when he was persuing a fight a few months back before he signed on with Cotto... -
Berto rocked Collazo a few times too, especially in the last round where it appeared Collazo was just trying to survive the round. Does that mean his chin is in question too? Or no because Berto is known as a pretty decent puncher?Comment

Collazo has NO POWER-along with Cosme Rivera-if these guys can hurt him IMAGINE if he faced someone with his own power or god forbid more(there are MANY welters that hit harder,just not jr welters or what Berto has been fighting lately) HE WILL NOT GET UP,he was also dropped twice in a fight and on the verge of getting ko'd in the ameteurs with headgear and BIG GLOVES.Whats really funny is in a division loaded with talent ,Williams,Mosley,Cotto,Mayweather,Clottey,Margo,ev en Judah,Quintana,or Collazo ,all Team Berto fights are nobodies and jr welters he has trouble with.The worst pasrt is his last 2 fights against Stevie Forbes and Collazo, ALL BERTO DID WAS HIT THEN HOLD,HIT AGAIN THEN HOLD.He already has every advantage over these guys ,but now he has to CHEAT Also to get the win.How funny was it against Collazo when the ref took a point because Berto KEPT HOLDING ON all fight,when he couldn't hold for that round he was getting the CRAP kicked out of him by Collazo-go rewatch it ,its hilarious.BERTO IS A HYPE JOB THAT WILL HIT AND HOLD FROM NOW ON,BELIEVE THAT. His chin will not let him compete so he is assuming the Hopkins way of not getting hit by cheating(holding)all fight.A DISGRACE TO THE BELT is BERTO and just to throw this in he was voted by a prominent boxing website as the 'EASIEST TITLE RUN AND TITLE FIGHT OF THE LAST TEN YEARS' now if that isn't pathetic I don't know what is.HBO should drop this BORING FIGHTER.(HOLDER)Originally posted by ACHlLLES View PostComment

Berto ain't got the best chin, but he's shown heart when he's been hurt. And Urango likely won't have the pop to get him in serious trouble.Comment

I wouldn't say Berto's got a glass chin, it is still kind of a question mark and he has shown that he can be vulnerable, but then again Collazo also rocked Hatton a couple of times and I think Loui is not really a soft puncher, I think he can crack a bit. As far as big punchers go, Urango will be Berto's real test, he's got KO power and we will see for sure if Berto's chin is as suspect as we all think or if he can really withstand power. I'm really excited for this fight, I like both fighters but I have to give the edge to my boy Urango cuz he's my Colombian cousin.Comment

I beg to differ playa, Urango has power to KTFO *****s left and right, at least at 140 lbs, but judging his big size as a junior welter I think he can carry that weight and power to 147, we shall see.Originally posted by mangler View PostComment

Berto has the edge and will most likely win a UD, but you can't look away the fact that Urango is a puncher and Berto has a suspect chin. I think Berto's speed and accuracy will win him this fight and outlast my boy UrangoOriginally posted by mr.raines21 View Post
