    It'll be another good fight. Unless Ortiz really lost it after the Mayweather fight, he should take this one.

      Not easy money at all.
      Berto didn't take Ortiz that seriously and was in shock how well Victor came out those first few rounds.
      But he did recover to get some momentum later in the fight and did drop VO.
      I think overall Berto is overrated but he has a decent shot to win this one.

        Not easy money. Ortiz couldve got stopped in the 1st fight also. It was also clear that Berto didnt respect him that much or take him too seriously. Im not saying Berto is better or will win but you have to factor everything in.

        Add to that Ortiz is coming off a devestating KO loss. You dont know how that will effect him. Most of all, this fight is like the complete opposite of the 1st fight. Berto was ****y while Ortiz was mad hungry. Now Ortiz is super ****y & seems to be not respecting Berto while Berto has put everything into this fight and is mad hungry

          I don't think it's a bad idea to make Ortiz the underdog..He is coming off a KO loss,and if Berto work on the things he needs to beat Ortiz style(movement and a jab)he should be the favorite...I'm still up in the air with this fight,I did not see any improvement in Berto's last fight..An Ortiz is still a head case,don't know which way I'm going with this one yet...

            If it goes the distance Al Haymon will make sure Ortiz gets robbed....Ortiz needs to knock him out

              Ortiz deserves to be the favorite but I wouldnt be surprised at all if Berto gets the win. I dont understand the thinking that the Mayweather ko was devastating for Ortiz considering the circumstances. The Maidana tko was devastating but not so much the Mayweather one.

                This. You never know when Ortiz might quit.

                  Are you kidding??The Mayweather KO was brutal bro,it was an open shot,nothing blocking it,clean bro..Ortiz was tko'd by Maidana,because one shot did not stop Ortiz..It was an accumulation of hard punches,May landed solidly and cleanly bro,that's not an easy punch to overcome..Esp if he takes one like that again from Berto...

                    No im not kidding. The Mayweather shot didnt knock him unconscious and he wasnt receiving a brutal beating. He simply got hit while his hands were down and couldnt beat the count. The Maidana fight was a brutal one where he took a lot more physical punishment and had to be mentally ****ed up from the way he quit and the shots he took afterwards from the boxing public.

                      hmm i think ortiz can beat berto again, but it will be tougher than the first time. berto has had plenty of time to fix problems, and improve conditioning. he also dropped the belt he won from zaveck.
                      stakes are high for berto, this rematch will show if he's to be considered an elite fighter or not.
