Comments Thread For: DiBella Responds, Battles Arum Over Berto vs Ortiz

[GRUSTLER]

Arum doesn't even want his fighters to fight out of his promotional company and he got the nerve to say that. I remember Berto wanting to fight Cotto and Arum turned it down. Pac too.

Man Dibella gave it to Arum good,how the hell is Arum gonna talk smack,Berto himself was a better fight for the Pacman,but he chose an old,worn Mosley,the pot shouldn't call the kettle black.LOL at Arum,throwing stones from inside his glass house.

Berto would throughly destroy Jones.

Damn Arum. Why can't Arum shut his mouth!

[WESS]

I don't know man. Second rnd KO was rough. But there have been some rough ones since. Example Banks going @ Rick Ross

Never heard that one or knew they had beef (bad on me I guess being a DJ). Although I know a lot of people dislike Ross, I do but I dont. Hard to explain, but its a different time with different music and different mind sets in today's "game" (as everything right?).

But its what ever that is a good track blasting Ross. Its just when I think of battles, I think "2nd round KO" (maybe being biased cause of Tyson/Boxing theme) and then "Ether" (even though its a newer beef).

adding both these tracks to my Ipod for gym and bag time.

Arum full of it

Arum is so full of ****. DiBella is genuine person, a straight shooter, and cares about the sport of boxing. Arum doesn't give a **** about anything other than making the most money for Top Rank. He has flat out said that he made Pac-Mosely b/c he thinks the casual sports fan will buy it, and he doesnt care what the hardcore boxing fan wants.
That's his perogative, BUT don't criticize DiBella and claim his matchmaking is subpar b/c Berto's fighting Ortiz instead of Jones.
First off, Ortiz is no joke. He's a real big 140 lber, so the move to welter is legit. 2nd - He has looked great in demolishing Campbell and Harris, and shouldve gotten the decision against Peterson who is a legit top 10 contender.
3rd - Berto-Ortiz is a lot more competitive than Cotto-Mayorga and Pac-Mosely. Arum realy has nerve to criticize Berto's matchmaking! Both those fights were made smiply b/c Mosely and Mayorga are known to casual fans. Not because they are the best fights to make.
