    Berto knocks Brook out.

    I just watched the Brook fight from Saturday.

    Warning sign #1: In the opening round he ate a number of straight rights from a very limited fighter.

    Warning sign #2: Every single left hand that Brook threw, the hand came back low. Even worse, there's no head movement after it. It is a glaring deficiency.

    Berto has a nasty, nasty counter right. He'll be thumping Brook with impunity every time Kell throws one of those lazy lefts.

    Kell Brook looks like he has potential, and he's obviously got the physical tools. Sadly I don't think he'll be able to solve his technical deficiencies before he steps it up a level. Fights like the one on Saturday are not a good indicator for success at world level.

    Berto by KO.

      I just watched the same fight and you're insane.

      He barely got touched in the first two rounds.

      Andre Berto is the guy taking shots vs Zaveck.

      Brook would thoroughly outbox Berto.

          Close call at this stage, but I'd go with Brook by decision.

              Berto looks one dimensional too me. Kell schools him in a wide UD.

                I'm gonna go with Berto, even though both of them have their flaws. Personally, I think Brook's speed is average, accuracy is decent at best and he seems to punch from too far out. I'd pick Berto's explosiveness, quicker hands over Brook.

                    Brook UD..... he's more of a natural boxer then berto. In my opinion berto only has power advantage over brook and maybe speed but not by much.

                      you cant be serious right? none of those right hands landed and if they did they were grazing blows at best. In the 3rd round Rafal didnt even land a single punch on brook!
