    I thought Quintanna was beating Berto and I thought Berto was acting like a little *****. He looked like he was the best student in the Bernard Hopkins acting academy. Quintanna should have received credit for a knockdown in the first round and I didn't think he should have had a point deducted from him when he did. Berto was complaining about hits behind the head that were never happening. Berto is going to get KTFO when he fights anyone with power. He went down against Collazo and Quintanna. I thought he ****** last night.
    I wouldn't say he ******, but he certainly wasn't impressive. He's lucky he didn't end up fighting Mosley because Mosley would have KO'd his ass in <6 rounds in my opinion.

    I'm looking forward to seeing Gamboa fight Caballero. I have big expectations for Gamboa and I think hes good enough to win this fight. The height difference will be a big task to overcome for Gamboa, but how will Caballero deal with Gamboa's speed and power?

      Berto! Berto! Berto!

      I was impressed with BERTO'S performance overall. He was in with a guy who STYLISTICALLY could have beaten him if he wasn't SERIOUS about his craft. His body never looked better and he's starting to mature a little bit more. I was willing to bet BIG on this fight simply because some of the posts I was reading disrepecting him. He doesn't have the best corner and he still has a couple of flaws that need tweaking but overall, he's ready for the cream of the crop. MOSLEY, MAYWEATHER, PACQUIAO. Neither one o fthese fighters would dominate BERTO. Matter of fact, I think he could beat all three with the right preparation.

        i wasn't impressed by either fighter,,caballero has never really impressed me,thats why i always wonder why juanma is afraid of him,,,,and berto he looks like he's always getting tired,in other fights he looks the same,second half of fight he's with mouth open,and i can tell he can't really take a punch,quintana is not a heavy puncher,neither was collazo...put him in there against someone who can take a punch,hits hard and pressures all the time,let's see how he looks...even paul williams will beat him,and williams isn't a devastating puncher,but a high volume puncher

          These horrible refs and judges in Florida continue to stick to thier ways, If you are not a favorite in Florida you have to KO the opponent because otherwise you have already lost. I'll still give Berto his Cred for the win he overpowered Quintana but fights in Florida just continue to piss me off..

            Being from Florida I show alot of favor in Berto. However this was not one of his best performances. Berto's body was very muscular and as a result was a little more stiff than normal. Berto's speed and timing was not as it normally is. I dont know if it was because of the time he took off to go to Haiti or if he was just tight and anxious. But I would suggest at least one more tune up fight before he faces the likes of Mosley, Mayweather, Cotto, or even Pacquio. I hope he continues to excel in his career!!

              Its all or nothing with Indio. Surprising win or a bad knockout lost. In this case, the hand speed was a killer. Berto's hands were very fast & his hands looked very slow. Berto's punches dont have as much pop as they looked 2 have but the sneaky quickness adds some power when u hit a guy with a punch he doesn't see coming. That ref had a beef with Quintana though. Idk what was his problem. Berto tried to 1 up Hopkins with that crap he was pulling in the fight. As 4 Caballero, he did a lot of good work 2 the body. Good performance but he was getting hit with pretty good shots, just not often enough 2 do real damage. Gamboa will finish his tall, lanky ass.

                Two solid fighters. But Andre got hit too much by a much slower but crafty foe. Caballero was lucky that the kid didn't have a jab, he can be disrupted down the middle. Good performance by both fighters and my guess is they will get big name fights cause they showed some flaws

                  I believe this was a premature stoppage, i've seen worse stops but this one, Quintana was just hella dazed thats all.

                    Please, no more Quintana fights! Being left handed, when his opponent moves forward, he steps forward and clinches. It's boring as hell. Berto clearly showed some rust and his timing was off and I think a tuned Berto would have destroyed him much quicker. It's time to stop showing Quintana on HBO or Showtime and move on to fighters who produce good fights.

                      Berto did well too much clinching but you cant argue that he got a good win. A win is a win berto has a pretty underrated chin I think hed be a fight for anyone he needs good training too
