I was at Berto-Ortiz last night! What a fight, some notes...

[Pullcounter]

• The crowd was on it's feet for much of the fight. Every round ended in a roar from the crowd.

the first 6 rounds were awesome... the last 6 not so much

• The most incredible moment was Ortiz knocked down Berto in the sixth. No one saw it coming and the place went absolutely nuts.

we went nuts at the crib too

While many on here claimed to hear boos when Mayweather was shown, there was probably just as many people cheering. However, there was a "Fight Pacquiao" chant that began afterwards.

Boooooooooo!!!

Paulie Malignaggi was there as well, and he's a real man of the people. Before the fight he spent a lot of his time in the lobby taking photos with fans, signing autographs, and just conversing with people. I was impressed. At one point I went to take a piss, and there he was, standing in line with the rest of us talking about the fight. While Mayweather was the most notable figure there, anyone would tell you that Paulie was the most visible. True fight fan.

watch... ortiz vs. malignaggi next by order of GBP

• Larry Merchant was also very visible and spent a lot of his time before the fight in the same manner.

dude is trying to save his job

• The crowd was virtually split. Many people were rooting for Berto and just as many for Ortiz. However, towards the end, it was clear Ortiz had won the hearts of the fans in attendance.

probably cause most the crowd bet money on berto

• Watch out for Thomas Dulorme. Kid looked sensational in knocking out Cuello. Looked polished and like a great prospect. Expect big things.

looking forward to more of him

• All in all, a great night at the fights. The first time I went to MGM at Foxwoods was to see Froch-Taylor, and I didn't think I could ever top that. Now I'm sitting here and I'm not sure what was better. In terms of sustained excitement Ortiz-Berto takes.

cong**** on the seats
