Berto vs. Ortiz catchweight: "145 plus one." Explain please?

[MindBat]

Catchweights Plus One is the new trend in boxing. Get with the program.

I want to see Berto get jacked up. Dude needs to be grounded a bit as he thinks he is untouchable but keeps fighting overmatched, smaller guys instead of dudes in his division. He should have lost to Collazo and ducked out on the rematch and he makes more money in one fight than most guys make in 3 or 4 fights combined for fighting stiffs normally.

I hope Ortiz catches him and stuns him...a little grounding if you will.

Berto and Ortiz are the same size.

Like they seriously slipped that one past me

[Maidana vs Rios]

It worked in ortiz's favor... big time.


Berto had some serious crust around his lips. I'm talkin crack head dave chappelle type ****.

Thats a sure sign of dehydration.

Berto looked good at the weigh in:

Berto looked good at the weigh in:

No he doesn't.... Fit sure, but look at his mouth. He's cotton mouthed. The white lip ssho wit.. check out the high quality images of the weigh in BScene posted, he's got a white ring around those boys. That's from dehydration.

Berto and Ortiz are the same size.

Ortiz is a lil bit bigger. But it seems nobody wants to see that bruh.

[Russian Crushin]

It might be like a Danny Green clause where his opponents get more money to be under a certain weight

[The Surgeon]

Didnt realise it was a catchweight fight. Dumb ***** anyway, Berto most likely woulda came in at 146 anyway, even if he did come in at 147 whats a pound? A man should NOT be able to win a world title if the champion is made to weigh in at weight less than the division limit, period. Now why is this happening again, Vics already said its a perminant move to 147!?

Catchweights are pissin me off now

[Maidana vs Rios]

Ortiz is a lil bit bigger. But it seems nobody wants to see that bruh.

They are close, Berto is a little bit bigger, not by much though.

Berto's avg fight night weight vs. his last 6 opponents = 157.2

Ortiz' avg fight night weight vs. 6 of his last 8 opponents = 154.5 (can't find fight night weights for his fights w/ Campbell and Alatorre).

1 lbs isn't gonna give the fight to one or the other
