Berto look a little flabby in the arms

I wonder who they are going to put Berto in with next, Gary Coleman!

Looks like Kahn have been doing some serious neck training, about ****ing time.

Well, it was a shot to the neck that Garcia took him out with.

too late.

still, berto has fast hands, power, and a big set of stones. he's been in some great fights. collazo, ortiz, and guerrero were great fights. it's a better division with fighters like him around.


and besides, who is going to keep the gate to the promised land - IE a fight with floyd mayweather jr?

They are getting some good sparring up there. It's good to see the Bay Area becoming a bit of a boxing hotbed.

I don't know if Berto can change his style successfully at this point but if anyone can help him it's Virgil Hunter.

Getting Khan to spar Berto is a bad idea

Berto's eyes will be the size of basketballs and will probaly get cut up.

At 29 years old, Berto is who he is. I don't think Virgil Hunter can do anything with him at this stage. The 1st time he gets caught with a big shot, he will resort to his old ways. This is a move he should have made years ago. Berto has all the raw talent in the world, but he was not taught defense in his younger days. I think he should seek out Teddy Atlas to teach him that peek a boo Tyson style. His body and height is built for that style, plus he has power in both hands like Tyson did. Berto will always beat C class fighters. But he will lose to the elite and struggle with B class fighters.

Teddy Atlas would have been interesting. Maybe he could have considered Kevin Rooney too.

I'd love to see the Cus D'Amato disciples working with young American talent.

Berto is what he is... changing trainers isn't gonna change that
