Timothy Bradley vs Andre Berto in the Fall?

[BoxerDood]

Great Read...This is exactly what Timothy wants to do...Make himself more available for bigger names and bigger fights. I could see this fight happening at the end of the year.....

How do you see the fight going?

A great fight IMO...I would be surprised if Timothy stood in front of Berto, but I can see Timothy wanting to take Berto into the late rounds, Timothy has a motor that doesn't stop, which Berto seems to slow down alot in the later rounds. Timothy footwork and punching speed i think could give him the edge, Berto seems to be more flat footed at times and especially in the late rounds you start to telegraph his punches,,Timothy should be able to counter alot more as the fight progresses...7-5 Bradley... How bout u?

Your prediction seems pretty accurate. But I'd say 8-4 Bradley. Just looking back at what Quintana was able to do before slowing down, I think a fresher Bradley would have a lot of success against his style. Berto has no reflexes and isn't really a boxer. He's just a brawler with great handspeed and power, but poor defense. I can see Bradley taking the early rounds, and Berto taking the mid rounds before slowing down and losing the late rounds. The only concern I'd have is how Bradley would be able to handle him when he really starts to heat up. If he can stay focused and not get caught by those huge loaded up punches, it shouldn't be too hard for him to

And call me crazy, but I can really see Berto running into a right hand counter and going down. It probably wouldn't hurt him, but a knockdown is a knockdown. He's known to come forward recklessly and get caught with a big punch, and its not like he has a granite chin. Even Rivera was able to drop him.
