      Usually people gain respect for fighter for showing that kind of toughness to dig deep and win a fight~
      man collazo got robbed and if berto wanted respect he should had a rematch

        He just got battered. and is now fighting at 154.

        So again Berto is the next best fighter in boxings most popular division it makes sense for him to be on HBO.

        Where were these people when Rocky Juraez is on PPV every month.
        Now what would Pac do with Berto i would say ko inside 3 rds,Mayweather would also humiliate and destroy him.

          I thought Collazo won the fight. I had him winning on my cards anyways. But, it was a close fight that could of went either way. It was not a robbery. But, I do agree that I was impressed with the toughness that Berto showed late in the fight. And he won the championship rounds.

            Do you mean the clowns on here? It was a close hard fought fight I always thought earning a tough hard win in the champinship rounds was something praise worthy~

              90-95% of the fighters featured on HBO are either managed by Al Haymon or GBP. Williams, Arreola, Angulo, Dawson, etc. It's almost as if it's a prerequisite. Berto has talent, but clearly lacks skills and is a boring fighter that turns it into clinch fests.

              Up until their upcoming fights they weren't showing Bradley, Khan, and until a month ago Alexander. And if you really think HBO shoudl showcase him because he's that good, Berto isn't better or higher on P4P lists, than 30 other fighters about 10-20 of them not on HBO.
              Exactly right....

                This dude just fought two slick southpaw boxers back to back. When has Pac fought a slick boxer? People need to be consistent.
                you dont even have to be slick, just be black and pac wont fight you

                im white, i just notice he hasnt fought a single black dude on his level.

                  Get out of here with that noise it was a close hard fought fight and Berto managed to pull it out at the end.

                  I find it odd that fans can't respect that fight from Berto, he wins a close hard fought affair he gets **** on, he fights ugly and wins every round he gets **** on, he fights comming off a year lay off fights pretty well and end the fight impressively he gets **** on.

                  Whatever you don't like Berto fine, but I find your opinion to be biased when talking about his actual capabilities.

                    I used to not like Berto at all but that fight made me appricate him a great deal more, now with the way people talk about him I feel compelled to be on his side.

                      Because he fights like a complete *****, clinches and complains...All this while he's in his prime and has a strong body...Then ducks Mosely with Haiti...What kind of fan are you for supporting a bum like that?
