    Berto showed heart

    I see a lot of threads bashing Berto (mostly from people who overrated him in the first place) but give credit where credit is due : he showed heart. He got hurt and dropped, one eye started to swell up early on and then the other did too, but he kept fighting and landed some really big shots throughout the fight. Win or lose he's an exciting fighter and he doesn't quit, you gotta respect that.

      At least the guy fought in this weightclass once before facing Berto, unlike Lopez against the guy in your avatar.

        He showed heart, but we knew he had that already. Berto literally showed nothing in the fight that we didn't already know about him. He didn't work on any of his deficiencies and probably never will. He fought how I expected him to, except for that laughable shoulder roll defense he was trying to use. Berto proved to be a front-runner who depends on his power/speed, he also had a hand in the clinch-fest, and he showed that he can be out-worked. Guerrero looked at Ortiz's performance and matched it.

          Fought his heart out. Took two warriors to make that war and Berto was a warrior tonight regardless of what people think of him.

            People try to make Berto out to be a fighter with superb boxing ability when he simply has very little of it. I have no problem calling Berto a "warrior", but even then, the guy can be out-worked and out-gutted. He seems to have a lower breaking point than other "warriors".
