Comments Thread For: Berto-Porter to be Announced, For April 22 at Barclays Center

[iamboxing]

Excellent news, Berto is back!

[Eff Pandas]

Solid fight. And I know Porter just wants to fight. Will be a good win for either guy that should propel them to a bigger fight later in the year.

This wouldn't be a bad opponent for the Brook vs Spence winner & if Spence wins I fully expect the Porter vs Berto winner to be on the table next for his first defense.

Majestic it is

Porter is gonna dominate Berto, I don't think the fight will be even remotely competitive

It should be fun. I think Porter is the better fighter and his swarming style will be a bit much for Berto. But Berto's shown to be tough and he has a very fast, very good right uppercut. I'm excited.

[asgarth]

That's just the opponent for Berto, someone who's reckless enough to run into that uppercut and will always be within distance. We might see some of Berto's explosive speed, I'm still favoring Porter but no outcome would surprise me.

So Robert Guerrero and Soto-Karass were also perfect opponents for Berto? While he does have a good uppercut, the guy cant handle pressure at all.
