Great matchup. Tough style for both , I think footwork and timing (jab) wins this fight for Khan but if he decides to brawl and or leave himself open to counter, you best believe Berto is going to land some good shots and prolly get him outta there. I just think Khan has a better team, better footwork & overall conditioning/skills and will most likely come in with a better gameplan then Berto. Im not by any means saying Berto's skill are no where near Khans, I just think overall Khan has the slight edge over Berto.

Ive got Kahn winning this by UD. In my opinion there are two ways of beating Berto, one is to out tough him (Ortiz) and the other is to make Berto work hard to get his punches off. Kahn would most likely box on the outside, throw combo's and win rounds. I still have doubts about Berto's stamina and his footwork and defense is pretty poor.Comment

I see Khan using a lot of lower body movement, scoring points from a distance with his jab and pitty-pat punches en route to a UD. There's no way he stands and trades with Berto like Ortiz did because he isn't as strong or punch hard enough. Additionally, he runs the risk of getting stopped by exchanging and trading punches toe to toe with Berto.Comment

147-154 will be khans natural weight he walks around at 154 so he makes weight easy. Berto has the power and speed to keep this fight interesting but khan is just as fast maybe faster and he has the skills, gameplan, jab and conditioning to beat berto. Also I think this fight is 2/3 fights away and khan is improving all the time were as berto does not seem to be improving. I got khan by UD in an interesting fightComment

Khan's 1st fight at 147, better not be against Berto. I already daid in another tread Khan leaves his chin up when he lets his hands go. Berto is just as fast & has more power. Plus he's naturaly bigger & both guys tire, not just Berto. Khan will get worn down quicker trying to wrestle of a bigger fighter.Comment

Khan would beat the hell out of him and get a wide UD or late stoppage.
Khan is becoming really good at the Pacquiao style in and out fighting, and Berto doesn't have the defense or counter punching ability to do anything about it. He would get beat on for as long as the fight lasted.
And yes, Khan could take the odd right hand that Berto would land once in a while. Berto doesn't pressure, and can't really counter punch, so his chances of landing a fight ending punch are extremely low.Comment
