Khan - Maidana - Khan spent too much time on the backfoot, trying as hard as he could to avoid trading punches (Before anyone tries to tell me why he did this, I already know, I'm just saying excitement-wise, not the best thing). So, although it was a very good fight, it lacked the toe-to-toe action that I, personally, like to see in fights.
Berto - Ortiz - The first six rounds were mind blowing, I could re-watch those six rounds over and over againa nd not get bored. However, after the sixth, it died down and Berto seemed to start holding a lot - probably to avoid getting knocked out.
I dunno which I would say was better, i'd have to rewatch them both, really.
Your observations are great. I'd have to agree with you. I change my vote. Berto-Ortiz may have lacked that sustained action that we look for in wars. But the first 6 rounds were so good, that what happened after almost doesn't matter.
