Berto's Mittwork is Horrible?

[cupocity303]

Berto's upper body look to heavily set. Too much muscle in the arms, looking more like a fighter that is supposed to be aggressive, except he isn't. He is more of a slickster.

Berto needs a trimmer, leaner body. It's either that or plant his feet and fight like a Edison Miranda type.

That body type is unsustainable for a Floyd Mayweather wannabe Boxer. He will run out of steam.

Looks like someone who's planning to stand his ground against Ortiz and not get pushed into the ropes.

He does... In the Zaveck fight, it looked as if they made it a point not to let himself get backed up.

His footwork is still terrible. He's going to be trying to back Ortiz up while off balance, mummy stiff, squaring up, etc. leaving himself open for counter shots. Berto could be stronger than Ortiz (though its debatable), but his balance and stamina will eventually give out to Ortiz' balance and stamina (helping Ortiz be the ring general). Those muscles will help him in the strength battle early, but they'll eventually betray him in a war in the trenches. We could be seeing another fight where Berto is against the ropes and taking a pounding, while acting like he's setting a trap, but he's just really trying to stall.

Berto and his trainer have been together for years, having thousands of rounds of mitt session under their belts, but they don't seem to have much chemistry.

He's not pressing that hard, but everyone does it there own way. Looks like he's trying to be a cutie in there, but you can tell it's just not his style or way to fight like that.

Horrible pad work. I really wasn't expecting that bad but it really was.

Not impressive for a boxer of his stature.

[SaintGeorge]

Floyd does his padwork for the cameras, behind closed doors I think they do it properly.

Lets see, I'm still on the fence with this, though I'm slightly leaning towards Berto. His trainer seems young too.

Dude looks like a dang NFL running back.
