Its a shame that Kotelnik will now be swept under the carpet after getting robbed against Alexander.

Mike is puttin' Berto to sleep....I'm takin' bets for that one if its made

HBO needs to continue to push for quality fights,they've been putting out garbage too long & fans are rebelling!!That's why I love showtime because most of their fights are tough matches,not classic mismatches like hbo,examples are Pavlik & Berto,jokey defenses!!

Hope Jones gets the call hes a ww for ****s sake and if hes as good as they say he is hell beat Berto

This is embarrassing for berto.He needs to step up to true ww's.A collazo rematch is interesting...what is it berto isnt confident?



Anyways i think Mike jones rips him apart.I followed him alot on friday night's solo boxeo.Plus he's a native around my area.I remember seeing him work at my local Home depot for a lil bit.But he's a great draw in Atlantic city.Aside that mike is hungry for a title shot and i think his will is the factor.

Mike Jones: #6 WBC, IBF and #2 WBA, WBO, I think.

Anybody follow this guy? How good is he?

Hes good, definetly has some learning to do but he is still good.

He is tall and uses his height; good power with better handspeed; and he is a finisher.

The only problem he has right now is his jab is pretty lazy if he could pop it a little better he could really go places.

He shouldn't be rewarded with an immediate title shot at a higher weight just because he lost a controversial decision. He's already fought two of the other top guys in Maidana and Khan. What would Khan gain from fighting him again? And the best case scenario for him would be for Maidana to beat the Alexander-Bradley winner because that would mean Kotelnik would be guaranteed another title shot.

if Berto is smart he would take a fight with Mike Jones right now and catch him while he is not as his PEAK as fighter yet

I personally don't think Mike Jones is ready for Andre Berto...RIGHT NOW! in another year or so after fighting better competition then yeah I do think Mike Jones have the potential to beat Berto, no one else is available so Berto might as well do that fight and if he wins that will shut a lot of people up... TEMPORARILY at least

Berto has never fought a guy with that kind of power. Which says a lot with as much money HBO has paid him.
