    I do not think we will see Berto as a high profile fighter anymore. He will get a couple more high profile paydays of course but to me, it seems his punch resistance and reflexes are withering away every time he steps in the ring. Also he just seemed all out of sorts in there. He had some success in spots, but he had ample opportunities to spin off the ropes and make things happen. I suppose one could blame it on rust or weight drain, but I am not so sure. It was like he never could settle into the fight. Something is not right with him.

    Guerrero surprised me with his strength and monster grit. I was not expecting that type of fight from him at all. He still frustrated me a bit by smothering his own punches. I wish he would have created some space once in a while to get some good power punches in there. If he would have, he would have gotten Berto out of there. Cannot criticize him really though. He got in there and pounded out a win in an impressive manner.
    Berto didn't want the distance. His corner was telling him not to hold every round, and he wouldn't listen because he knew what would happen. After almost getting knocked out when he let Guerrero have some room, Berto initiated most of the holding, and Guerrero pulled him in and punished him for it. It was pretty much Berto picking his poison. A slow death by body shots, or a quick death by KO if let Guerrero have a step back.

    I think Guerrero tried to create just a little bit of space, but the ref wasn't doing much to separate them, so he held Berto too and worked inside.

                  His eyes aren't swollen shut, he's just squinting intensely because he's a BEAST going in for the KILL.

                    LOL, it's that instinctive, predatory attack preparation that only the most beastly of beasts are capable of.
