Bradley beats him. Berto is nothing special and just doesnt have that technicallity to beat a super technical fighter in Tim. Tim needs to perform much better then today but im sure he beats Berto in a UD

Berto Goes down in the 9th

I would like to see a Maidana Vs Bradley and I have a feeling that, that fight will be next for Bradley. I say this because Bradley wants big money and what better way then to add someone like Maidana to your list of felled opponents. Will this be the case if Maidana and Bradley fight? I don't think Bradley would pull that one off, but that's another story all together.

Berto Vs. Bradley would be an interesting match up. I however, feel that Berto is a highly overrated fighter. I think in his last fight he was fighting someone who didn't have a drive to win. Quintana fighting Berto was not the same fighter as Quintana fighting Williams. When Quintana fought Williams he actually had a game plan and looked in shape. When he fought Quintana he looked like he didn't even really care about the fight. He even looked some what drained to me. It looked like Quintana was interested in a last "**** you" paid day fight in boxing. Although Berto stopped Quintana he did not look impressive. I will blame some of that on the fact that he was inactive due to the earth quake in Haiti, and the tragic news about his family members, but I'm going to blame the grunt of Berto's lack luster performance (past and present) on his bad stamina. I also would like to point out that I think Berto lost his fight to Luis Collazo. I think he is powerful in spurs, and then he tires out. Collazo made the blue print on how to beat Berto. I feel Timothy Bradley will be able to capitalize on Bertos awful stamina. I feel he'll wear him out, and eventually break his will. Get the late stoppage. Bradley in 9.

A few days ago, promoter Lou DiBella told BoxingScene.com that he planned to watch Saturday's welterweight bout between Timothy Bradley and Carlos Abregu with a lot of interest. DiBella was interested in the fight because he planned to pursue the winner as a possible fall opponent for WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto.

i wonder how that fight will go down??? best not be a clinch fest

[deuce_drop]

bradley and all the guys at 140 need to fight, tourney or no tourney, theyre all god match ups and good fight fan fights.

[priure_sion_08]

for me, i think its a right move. before Bradley challenge pac or may he needs first to at least fight 1 more time at 147 to really test him. a good opponent at 147 and i thing berto is good enough. if that fights happen then lets see pac vs bradley vs floyd

Berto's a bit stronger.
Both have quick hands.
Bradley is more agile and athletic.
Berto's a short welterweight and Bradley wouldn't have to reach as much.
Bradley can lean that bald head in and smack Berto in the chin with it if Berto tries to do his usual hit and hold style.

pretty decent analysis. but I'd say that berto is quite a bit stronger (at least the MUCH heavier puncher. 26-0 (20 KOs).

I'd give bradley agility too, but not sure about athleticism. And I'd also add that Berto lacks stamina vs Bradley.

When Lou said that Berto wasn't a big ww, I nearly lost my head... dude is massive. then reading your post it dawned on me. height-wise he's not big. yeah, it's early.

co-signed. berto is solid, but lacks good stamina. bradley would/will take advantage.

Berto/Bradley is a solid match-up. I like the fact that Cotto and Top Rank are open to fighting Berto at 154. Let's hope that all the cards fall in the right places and we get these fights.

That's what I'm talking about, the top fighters fighting each other, none of this cherry pickin', he has no fans, he's not a ppv draw stuff.

Bradley has nothing to lose and everything to gain with this fight. If he loses, it wouldn't hurt him that he lost to one of the top welterweights and can always go back down for Alexander and Khan. If he wins it's only going to catapult him into the upper echelon of the ww div. He will be the second option behind Floyd and Pac will have no excuses to not fight him then.

[Rome-By-Ko]

Bradley showed me alot of skills yesterday.He is gonna be a problem for anybody he fights.His will and skills will pay his bills the kid could ****.I would love to see him fight Khan next expose him,Let Zab and Devon get it on with the winners to fight each other.But if Bradley fights Berto I'm going with Bradley he is much more skilled and takes care of his body unlike Berto who partys and drinks.At this point in their careers Bradley has grown and showed that he has skills and he is still learning while Berto has shown he has grown at all and showed no skill in his last fight.I'm taking Bradley in this one.
