~The OFFICIAL Berto v. Quintana & Yordan v. Caballero FIGHT NIGHT thread.~

10k on Berto any takers?

The more I watch HBO analysts, the less I like them. Larry Merchant and Jim Lampley's constant whining during this fight was sickening. I agree that Caballero won every round except the last one, but if a blind man was listening to Merchant and Lampley talk, he would think that Caballero was beating the **** out of Yourdan and Yourdan had two or three cuts and his entire face was destroyed. Their constant whining about the fight needing to be stopped was sickening. If they think this fight should have been stopped, I can imagine what they were saying during the Pacquaio/Clottey fight.

Yeah, Cabballero is not all that hard of a puncher like his resume would lead you to believe since he has a decent KO ratio. And I was yelling at the analysts because they're ****ing ******ed, you could tell that Caballero pushed alot of his punches and wasn't putting full force behind them. Sure Yordan will be sore for a couple days, but his career is not ruined at all.

Cab can't punch for ****, I barely saw swet come of Yordans face because Cab seemed like he pushed alot of his punches more then threw them with the intentions of knocking someone out or hurting his opponent.


Here's a quote from me earlier about this!

I think so too, he was boring yet he threw alot of punches... I didn't even think that was possible. He was like trying to mimic a bit of Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s style, Williams style, with a bit of Pauli Malinaggi's power.

Shame not a lot of people there.

[Hannibal Barca]

Must take my hat off to Berto and his brother.

[The Gambler1981]

Admit Cab hasn't lost in 6 years.


Yordan never went down. And people said he could handle Guerrero at 130 when that fight was stopped.

Now suddenly Yordan is a bum.

Those people that said Yordan could handle Guerrero are kind of foolish, that fight was really sloppy and it was tough to discern what was going to happean as the fight played out. Plus that fight only lasted two rounds, and almost any decent fighter can hold it down for two rounds.

Props to Cabellero though he did work on him though and Yordan does not have the easiest style to look impressive against.

damn hbo taking shots at the lack of people there

[-EX-]

I hope Quintana is Quintana so I don't hear about him being weight drained or he aint what he used to be...

[ShoulderRoll]

Boxing doesn't always have to be about power. What you saw tonight was a clever, busy combination puncher outclassing a big hitter.

[mrpain81]

Merchant just **** all over Berto's drawing power, that was funny as **** but sad at the same time.

[Shadows]

Quintana is up to 161 tonight, unofficially.
