Originally posted by street bully View PostWhat is this based on though? Berto digging deep to win a fight against a gate keeper where he was a 4:1 favorite?
Berto is easy to hit, has a questionable chin, and has stamina issues himself. A elite fighter really shouldn't have to dig deep to beat Collazo or look tenative against jr WWs.
It's also based on the fact that, that is what Clottey has done in every single important fight.
Berto also doesn't do well with soutpaws, aside from Quintana. His last 3 opponents have been soutpaws. Collazo, Urango & Quintana. He doesn't look very comfortable fighting them.. not many fighters do.
If the fight gets made... make sure you put your points on Clottey
Points you don't care if you lose, of course.

Originally posted by reedickyaluss View PostHe hit Cotto more than 5 times. Re-watch the fight. When Yuri decided to throw, Cotto got tagged. Especially near the end when Yuri was basically a wounded dog in a corner... he bit back and Cotto got hit with everything he threw.
Fortunately for Cotto Yuri couldn't punch himself out of a wet kleenex.

Originally posted by street bully View PostI think he could give those away and still beat berto, who would probably gassed himself by that point, since clinching a stronger man, who is a better inside fighter than you is not a good idea. Also Clottey works the body, something Berto doesn't work on.
Clottey doesn't goto the body anymore than Berto does.
When Clottey does goto the body it's the double left hook... Body & head. But it isn't often.
And again, Berto looks awkward against southpaw fighters, as most do.

Originally posted by AntDawg View PostHmm I guess i'll have to but from what I remember he didn't hit him flush that often like the way Berto gets hit in his fights. But my point is that Cotto imo is just to much for Berto. I was pulling for him and still do at times but I just don't see him Beating guys like Cotto and Clottey.
Cotto-Berto would be EXTREMELY competitive. I'd say a definite 50-50 fight.
I have no argument against anyone who takes Cotto.
I would take Berto personally, but it could go either way.

Originally posted by street bully View PostClottey goes to the body far more than Bero if you ask me. The Majority of Bertos body shots are in clinches, and clinching Clottey would be a dumb idea, sinc ehe actually fights best on the inside.
Berto UD Clottey 8-4
