He's an aggressive fighter with decent skills and a good punch. Berto will have a reach advantage.

I'm worried about the officiating, since Berto has strong HBO backing, but Zaveck won his title on the road.

He's most definitely not a bum. With fair officiating, I would pick him to beat Berto.

well you know they will lure him here if they square off. I know they were trying to secure a title shot for Malignaggi before these talks so I wonder if he can be outboxed

This time it might backfire on him.

The deck will be stacked against Zaveck, just like it was for Kotelnik when he fought Alexander. But the difference is, Zaveck can punch.

He is not, this is an even money fight, check him out on youtube he is pretty good.
