    well he was lost after round 6. he had no answer to ortiz pressure and the same thing will happen when he faces another young and hungry kid, but much respect to him he fought his heart out.

      Berto's first real test and he failed it. Berto suppose to be the next best thing in boxing or at least that's what they hoped/advertised him as.

      Hype: A clever marketing strategy which a product is advertised as.

        i dont care if you call him a hypejob...more like major disappointment

        he has one thing going, his right hand. He has no jab, no defense, nothing much else going on in his game.

        To me, that is sad as far as American boxing is concerned. I expected more,but got someone who is far from world-class in ability. He got strung along by HBO and was paraded as a champ. He got exposed tonight for his lack of ability.

        Now please go away and learn how to box, Berto.

        All the credit in the world to Ortiz, who Manny thinks has more power than him. That's high praise.

          The fight was great, both guys went all out, Ortiz had more in the tank.
          Berto thought he was on top of the world before this fight making millions every time out. He had not faced top talent as opposition and struggled terribly against Collazo when he did face a B level fighter. He ran his mouth too much for a guy that hadn't proven too much up until now. I personally thought he was overhyped in comparison to what he had presented in the ring and felt it would only be a matter of time until he was put to the test and that he would fall apart when pressed.

              No, as per Boxingscene rules- Berto is now an old, shot, past his prime, flat-footed, slow, come forward fighter.

              Can't go against the rules.

                    Berto vs Collazo deserves a rematch first before him and Ortiz which was much closer.
