Comments Thread For: Berto-Zaveck, Manfredo-Vera Doubleheader in The Works

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

BoxingScene.com had been advised that Andre Berto's potential fight with IBF welterweight champion Jan Zaveck (31-1, 18KOs) has already been submitted to the IBF for approval. Berto (27-1, 21KOs) vs. Zaveck is going to take place no later than mid-October. If the fight happens in August, depending on the availability of a television date, one potential undercard fight being discussed is a middleweight bout between Peter Manfredo Jr. (37-6, 20KOs) and Brian Vera (18-5, 11KOs). Vera would return from his February upset win over former champion Sergio Mora. Another boxer likely to appear on the undercard is welterweight contender Randall Bailey, who happens to be the mandatory challenger to Zaveck. Bailey is willing to step aside with the guarantee that he's going to face the Berto-Zaveck winner next.

Tough comeback fight for Berto.

Looks like the loss might make Berto more of a risk taker.

I got Vera over Manfredo.

Vera-Quillin would be cool.

[Peter Griffin]

awesome! then if berto wins, he and ortiz can have a unification bout!!!

The American officials will not be fair to Zaveck. He'll be robbed like Kotelnik was.

He should demand the referee and at least two judges should be from from neutral countries.

Otherwise he'll need a KO to get a draw.

First off, I want to say that Berta is and always will be an over-rated boxer. Although he did show some satchels against Ortiz, he still doesnt get any praise from this humble nobody. With that said, if I was Zaveck I'd say no to the fight, because there is no way he wins this fight in America.None. For some reason or another HBO loves this putz and they will make sure the Hatian not so much sensation gets this trinket. If it were in neutral ground I give Zaveck a chance.

HBO is starting to resemble FNF.

and lol at Berto getting a TV slot before Martinez.
