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

[LAFIRPO]

It's all about the match ups and excitement. Let's face it, we like to see wars and slug fest. Enough with the undefeated records. Who cares? Match them tough and give the fans what they want.

Lol, I watched them all and met a lot of them. I have a boxing collection my dude that will blow your damn mind. I have magazines and videos older than I am. You got the WRONG DUDE!!!!!!!

Dude, then you should know that the sweet science can be fun and not boring.

a rematch you have to be kidding

who in the world wants to watch berto hold another man all night long???

seriously, how can anyone be a fan of a fighter who does the opposite of

fight?


thank GOD, and i honestly said a prayer for Ortiz tonight and for the boxing

world that God be just and fair so that we true fans dont have to watch

berto ever again....

who can enjoy watching that guy hold alllllllllllllllllllllllll night long


should have lost a point every other round, the ref was sooooo biased and

bought he never even issued a warning

I am not a big fan of Berto. I've gone to 2 of his fights in South Florida, and they were both hug fest. But, this fight with Ortiz and the one with Collazo were very fun to watch. Maybe Berto should only fight lefties.

These have been the best two weeks of boxing in a long time. Promoters have it all wrong we don't want built up megafights we want two hungry equally matched guys competing just like any other sport. Big props to Maidana Morales Salado juanma Ortiz Berto and everyone else in these fights. This is what boxing fans want not 39yr old Mosley vs PAC not Floyd fighting a lightweight. Williams Martinez started this trend and I hope people pay attention.

Agreed. After the down year boxing had last year HBO is really stepping it's game up this year with tight competitive matchups. If this keeps up boxing may actually get some attention from mainstream media

Did you here the crowd when the camera is on PBF? he got booed! :P

Next.. the crowd cheered "FIGHT MANNY, FIGHT MANNY"

Watch how many people in that same crowd will buy Floyd's next fight cause like it or lump it dude is the truth. Would he have beaten Leonard or Hearns? Hell no but he is todays sweet science until somebody proves different.

Anybody who didn't appreciate BOTH fighters performances seem to have more dislike for Berto than they do appreciation of a good fight. This fight was better than Manny vs Cott, Clottey, or Margarito. This fight was better than Mayweather vs his last 10 fights. You may not like Berto's style, but it was effective enough to put Ortiz on his ass twice tonight. Neither fight ran. They stayed there and traded. THATS what puts asses in seats. A rematch is definately due. I put this fight in the same category as Martinez vs Williams I. There HAS to be a rematch. Ortiz doesn't need to jump in with a big welterweight just yet. I'd like to see him give Berto an opportunity to fight for the title he lost being as though he didnt work his way up the rankings to get a title. Some of you all need to not personalize this stuff so much

Berto, and I like him, can be soft sometimes. When the going gets rough, he holds on for dear life like huggy bear and turns his back, then complains that he's getting hit on the back of the head? C'mon son.

I agree with some of your statements. But I don't think it was better than Martinez vs Williams 1 or Cotto vs Manny. Berto had, like, 2 moments in the whole fight. Ortiz pretty much dominated, although there always that risk of a haymaker by Berto.

Some would like to say Ortiz showed more then was expected of him

I would like to say Berto never had what was expected of him

Your markers below are beyond hilarious!!!

that is because collazo and ortiz were trying to fight even throu the hugging

and holding...

berto is horrible, i have been saying it for years..

the dude has tremendous quickness and buzz but does not have the ability to

fight in combinations, no footwork, no ring iq, and his worst problem is that

he is not coordinated...the reason why he is flailing all over the place during

exchanges..


please no rematch, the only place i ever expect to see berto again is friday

night fights for his next and last fight...
