I hear ya, I too, think these major wars he's been in have taken a toll on him. I don't think he'll ever be as confident as he once was, but i maintain, that Berto really doesn't know how to box. All i saw skill-wise from him was a few jabs, some punching power-(non-skill), and a little bit of defense.
Other than that, I was not impressed at all by him. i saw no seasoned, battle hardened fighter in that fight. I saw a kid, not in control of his emotions, letting his enthusiasm dictate his movements, and whining every time he got tapped in the back of the head. Those were not hard rabbit punches for the most part.
I think he's overated, and would be intimidated if he was put in front of Cotto. You know he'd be scared of Manny, and there's no shame in losing to him, and his other only loss is highly controversial, to a most likely cheater.
He's still got some gas in his tank. But this is all my opinion, and i guess this fight with Foreman will tell us a lot about Miguels abilities and future. I'm really looking forward to seeing what he has left.
I'm glad he got another trainer, but at the same time, as I've said before, am dismayed he's keeping that useless turd Santiago around. He does Cotto no good at all. He needs to kick that whole gang to the curb. There is nothing good for him there.
He needs to surround himself with new people, to re-invent himself, and I would really love to be a fly on the wall to see how Santiago and Steward mesh...with Steward trying to make some positive changes, and Santiago standing around looking useless that he is...what's he going to do, tell Steward he's wrong?
Did i mention i don't like Santiago and Co?...
