Comments Thread For: Quintana in Top Form, Ready For The Berto Upset

[Devils Advocate]

This should be a good fight. I like Quintana's chances in this fight because Berto didn't look so great the last time he was in with a southpaw, but I'm not writing Berto off though he is still quick and throws those dangerous uppercuts. I'm just hoping that Berto doesn't do too much holding like usual.

Unless he's learned from his battle with Luis Collazo he going to be in for a war!!

Carlos Quintana should be the betting favorite off of the
simple fact that he is more seasoned and experienced
against tougher opposition than Andre Berto. If Collazo
is really in tip top shape like his people is letting off and
he does indeed have good running ability then he should
beat Berto down the stretch because Berto doesn't
have good 12 round stamina ability. I could be wrong
because not always right but I feel Quintana should be
able to expose Berto and pretty easy at that. Berto has
a chance but only if Quintana is off of his game.

If Quintana can endure the first few rounds and fall into a groove he can pull it off. Comming off of a long layoff and not facing top opposition fighting in a higher weight might not help his timing. Berto is very fast but if pressured he will hold and make it a sloppy fight

[SoldierWarrior]

How will Quintana deal with Bertos speed? Quintana is going to have to go to the body hard and fast, he is going to have to wear Berto out if he expects to beat him.

He will have to be in primo shape to beat berto after everything that happened in haiti!!!

What top opposition has Andre Berto faced as of late?

This should be a cracking fight this. Fancy Quintana to give Berto alot of troules earlier on in the fight.

What top opposition has Andre Berto faced as of late?

Collazo and Urango? both tricky fighters.

Collazo and Urango? both tricky fighters.

Good but not top and Berto struggled against both. Devon
Alexander KO'd Urango at 140 and Berto couldn't even do it
at 147. Honestly, I'm just not convinced about Andre Berto.
Sure he has the skills but doesn't have the trainers like
Miguel Cotto, so Berto will not get Better until he makes some
changes. Quintana is by far more experienced against top
opposition than Andre Berto.

What top opposition has Andre Berto faced as of late?

What I meant is in the last fight and similar time frame Quintana has been on idle and fought to keep busy against a journeyman. He has to deal with a more active fighter that brings a lot of speed and is young. Carlos has faced better opposition but as late he hasn't done much.

Fighters depend on being active to keep their timing, basically his in-activity might hurt him. We will find out at fight night
