    Great post.

      ortiz wasn't a hype-job... he was a quitter (not anymore tho).

      berto is a hype-job... a dibella-HBO creation. and he got paid way too much for mismatches and beating up on jr WWs

        Exactly the definiton of trash would be Kirkland getting decked in one round against a feather fisted Journeyman THAT is what I consider trash

          Once you lose, you're nothing more than a bum.

            Actually he was, he was being hyped as the next big Mexican-American/DLH type figure this was right before the Maidana loss.

                I think the most ironic thing about common sense is it isn't as common as one would think.

                  I thought it was a great fight,I felt Berto was trying to survive tbh but he showed some heart..But he lost clearly..I do believe he is a hype job tho for how he hype himself and how others hype him..And tbh both times he step up(the Collazo fight)I felt he lost..IMO that's the definition of a hype job..Nothing to do with him losing everything to do with his level of opposition and when he steps up he just looks average..

                    I don't think he did enough or that it as close enough for Berto to deserve a rematch but he showed some resolve and didn't just fold up when he was in trouble.
