Official Dejan Zavec vs. Andre Berto on HBO round by round discussion thread

[uoykcuf]

Why does Berto have like no fans? Is it because he is Haitian and not African American? Or is it because he doesn't have a big mouth and talk like a jack ass to hype up his fights? And should Berto suffer for having no fans? Like he is busting his ass at his job even tho he enjoys his job, so doesn't he deserve money?

berto doesn't have a home town. he's just sorta been fighting everywhere. how do you catch a public if you fight in random places? and more importantly very huge paydays for a guy like him. haitians i reckon are not very rich people ,and berto has been visibly reaping the fruits of his paydays. not a great way to catch any public?? and i cannot say for sure how he cares about fans at all. i wouldn't be surprised if it's timmy bradley alike.

MAN. Zavec is definitley getting some love. I remember I'd make thread after thread with updates on Dejan, and Tunney was the only one who'd come and read most of em.

I'm undecided on going to the fight. If it were in Vegas, Cali, Atlantic City, ect. i'd love to fly out and spend the weekend with my girl and have a little vacation as well as watch the fight. but Biloxi fucking Mississippi? I don't know if I wanna blow close to a 1,000 dollars to go to on a vacation to... Biloxi fuckin' Mississippi. ****in' Lou!

"I always say you have to push harder and challenge your luck and success, because this is the only way to go beyond the limits. I want to know where I am, and if I'm not good enough to defend my title everywhere in the earth—U.S. or Europe—I don't deserve it. It's not my intention to hide a belt away. It's not moral. Yes, it would be easier to defend the title back home, but that's not my way."

Props for Zaveck!

it's good to see two ex rivals joining forces together by sparring in the ring. jackie has a fight scheduled with kell brook on oct.8 btw.
next week they are gonna fly in selcuk aydin as well who replaces jackson.osei bonsu , who decided to not come to zavec's camp at the last moment.
zavec is pretty serious about this fight that much i can say now. he phoned some big euro names to help him prepare.

Berto is a waste of talent and he had opportunity to make better exciting fights and he fought a bunch of second tier fighters. Didn't take risks and was nesting a big HBO contract. I really wanted to believe the he was the goods but he failed to capitalize his opportunity

Berto should win but for some reason I don't think he will.

Combine Zaveck's desire to win & make a name for himself with a letdown in motivation for Berto, and what you have is an upset win for Zaveck, by close but unanimous decision.
