    Berto was against all odds on that one, but Robert did win though. He won with activity. Berto definitely landed the harder blows and was limited because the ref was complaining about him throwing right hands to Guerrero's head while he had his head down, which is fair game to do if the opponent was doing what Guerrero was doing.

    You heard it, both want the rematch. The Mayweather fight can wait[forever], I really don't want to see it. I admit I want to see it a little bit more than before, but still not enough to pay for it.

      On both knockd owns, Guerrero was holding the head and punching! Dirty as hell but the damn ref is too old to notice. Guerrero would've won without the knock downs if the fight would've gone the other way but...How did that affected Berto? We will never know. I wouldn't mind seeing a rematch!

        Yea I can't believe Guerrero got away with it like that, it is not like he did it once on the first one he hit Berto good 3 times at least loading up on the last 2.

        Guerrero is a pretty grimy fighter, but for a guy with his tools that will certainly help him against most guys especially when the ref is hands off.

          And while your at it bring back drop kicks maybe throw in some nut shots, and have them fight in a alley. Perfect!

                hahaha I just like how when you mention it's illegal all these guys from no where come out in groves to support Gererro lol i mean such a massive closet fan base! Berto got what he deserved. But Gererro's such a one gear BASIC dirty fighter who will have his day and get exposed.

                  it's illegal in certain situations like if done in the center of the ring, but if its during a close exchange by the ropes, the aggressor can hold down the back of the head then other glove thrust to the face, it hard to see for the ref but some take advantage. guerrero's was semi-illegal, dumb ref for allowing the fight turn into a wrestling match. guerrero clinches as much as ward

                    gotta disagree man. Did Robert fight Katsidis the same way or anyone else? Nope.
