I'm just not interested, at all in this.

Why not have Berto fight his mandatory??? Oh, yeah, cause he's scared!! that's why!

[JoeDaWg]

Forget ortiz, we want cintron! I hope this fight falls through

[RL_GMA]

I don't mind the fight at all, but damn...Ortiz should just officially make the move to 147. This fight needs no catch weight.

Why dont Berto just fight a Welterweight instead of a JWW!!!

[DrewWoodside]

BoxingScene.com was informed that the ongoing negotiations to make a fight between junior welterweight Victor Ortiz (28-2-2, 22 KOs), and WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto (27-0, 21 KOs), have hit a wall over a catch-weight dispute. Ortiz's handlers have requested a catch-weight of 143-pounds. Berto wants the full welterweight limit of 147-pounds.

It's a little too popular to hate on Andre Berto right now but.. Berto is such a b*tch.

Is Ortiz a WW now? Am i missing something? Is Ortiz having trouble making 140 and has decide to move up? From some of the posts am reading here it seem like Ortiz is moving up or something. Please enlighten me

If the fight dosn't get made there's the number one contender Aydin or what ever his name is he sure wants a piece

The best fight that can be @ 147 is Berto vs P.Will.

If you continually target guys from smaller divisions then eventually one of them is going to ask for a catchweight. If he doesn't like it then I'm sure PWill, Cintron and Collazo would be willing to fight above 143lbs...

DiBella is being silly with his 'he shouldn't need a catchweight because he's taller' nonsense. If one guy is at 140 and the other guy can't get below 147 then the first guy is smaller.
