    It's not like Brook had an easy time of it. He played to his strengths and fought like hell to get that W. You can't ask another fighter to do what Brook does well. The fighter has to play to his own advantages. Berto was winning most of the exchanges in which he listened to his corner and boxed him in the middle. Berto didn't listen enough though (nor did Porter allow him to keep it in the center) and got mauled.

    Thurman won as well, using a completely different strategy than Brook, but you can't expect another fighter to fight like that either.

        Not every fighter has such a sound 1-2 and his size in the clinch definitely help.
