Comments Thread For: Victor Ortiz Beats Andre Berto, Grabs Gold in a War!

[BoxingScribe]

and that punch that he took in the sixth round was unbelievable.. that punch would have put people to sleep... but yea what a great night of boxing

EXACTLY!!! NOTHING about Berto was exposed. Ortiz just fought like a man possessed. You couldn't make me believe after that punch landed he would have not only gotten up, but withstood Berto's onslaught and ended up dropping Berto. Berto just ran into a ferocious dog tonight. The Ortiz that fought tonight is a fighter not too many people are going to want to see at 147. But I am willing to bet you Berto wants that dog.

Never again will ortiz be called a quiter

He should rematch Maidana ASAP.....iv'e consistently said on here that i feel he beats him comfortably in a rematch, though it would be better for Ortiz if he could get it at 147.

I don't know. Either Berto was really hurt in that first round, or he over trained. Berto seemed to be out of it from the first round. Like his energy had been zapped. In any case, Ortiz did what he had to do. Great job.

Give Ortiz credit for zapping it out of Berto plus Ortiz was getting off first the whole night

Andre Berto..."you can't train what beats inside your chest", and he was proven right tonight by Ortiz.

WOW This was my dream match back in 09...

in 2011, I wasn't expecting much outside of a bunch of hugging (Berto) and running (Ortiz)...

My dream actually came true... WTF? Gotta love boxing.

ORTIZ (looks great his last fight) MAIDANA (looks pathetic his last fight)

Not surprised at all by the result, nor by the way the fight panned out.

I knew this was gonna be a good fight.

Vic deserves full credit for this performance, and he got the monkey off his back from the Maidana fight. Not surprised at all that when Vic got hurt, he started punching like a champion.

Props to Vic for learning his lessons, digging deep, and pulling it out when it counts.
