Thread: Berto Vs. Quintana April 10th

Andre Berto to defend title against Carlos Quintana on April 10 - ESPN

sounds like a good fight, and a good step up for Berto, i mean Quintana's no Mosley but he's capable of pulling an upset over Berto

This is a pretty solid card -- Berto/Quintana is a good fight and a smart step up for Berto. I always thought the jump from where he was (fighting a blown up Juan Urango) to Shane Mosley was too big of a jump for him at this stage of his development. However, Quintana is a much better fight for him right now and a fight that has a chance of being pretty competitive.

The undercard fight between Glen Johnson and Tavoris Cloud should be a VERY interesting fight. I'm one of those people who is really high on Cloud, and I think he should handle Glen, who remains one of the best guys in boxing -- with relative ease. I also think that an older Road Warrior took this fight with not enough time in between since his fight with Yusaf Mack but it'll be interesting to see because just when you think Glen Johnson is done he comes roaring back.

I like this match-up man. I just updated my desktop wallpaper boxing calender today and added this one this morning having only just found out. Surprising match-up, tough shot for Berto really, but if he's gonna make it he has to get through. Caused PWill problems first time round so we'll see....

IMO Quintana is a much better fighter than most give him credit for being, the fact that he's fought bigger guys also gives him a slight advantage IMO

nice stuff

quintana isnt a step up from collazo id say its about par, but andre struggled like hell that night and many had him losing the fight so hopefully this should be interesting.

hope for clouds sake, johnson doesnt make him look ugly and the youngster gets caught out by an old warhead with tons of experience on him.

Glen johnson for all his qualitys can make an extremely awkward night for you!

Serious question, is Quintana the biggest guy Berto has faced?

Guys, Quintana can be a big upset for Berto. I would suggest Berto not to make too many plans of fighting Mosley, Floyd, Pacman, or any other fighter until he pass this test. A well prepare Quinatana can be a headache for most fighters, and I don't think Berto will be the exception. However, a concern I have is that Quinatana will have to loss weight to go back to 147 from 154, and this may not help him. Quintana had not been that active and this can really go against him. If Berto can hurt Quintana early, then the story can be in favor of Berto. But, if Quintana can dominate he cannot allow the judges to take the decision, otherwise he may be a victim of another stealing.

Absolutely, I can see this being a real banana skin for Berto, who I don't think is all that and was very very lucky to say the least to come away with the victory from Collazo, who I really like.

Finally................An actual welterweight.

This is an interesting match-up. I just hope that Berto is fully recovered from the tragedy in his home country by the time he meets Quintana.
