Unfortunately in my opinion steve Forbes..
Im not so sure about the match..
hes tough durable.. he wont be stopped by berto if you ask me..
And i dont think he can look good against Stevie Forbes..
Could be a nasty fight to be honest..
if i had to predict stevie can out slick him but his work rate will win him a close indecisive decision..
All i hope is that following this the wbc gets theyr act together and gives lou collazo his mandatory challenge.
I was impressed how Steve Forbes was able to withstand Oscar De La Hoya's bombs for 12 rounds and even win some rounds......
Not the fight i was hoping for Andre Berto i was hoping he would wait for Zab Judah vs Joshua Clottey winner.........
But this still should be a good test for Andre Berto Steve Forbes is very durable and has some good skills and could give Andre Berto a good hard 12 round bout which Andre Berto needs........
But if Andre Berto can stop Steve Forbes i will be impressed.
Stevie's never been stopped has he? I forget. I actually think this is a nice way to get a better gauge on Berto. I, too, would have rather seen him face tonights winner, but this is a good fight IMO. Not sure who I'd pick.
Good fight for Berto. He's not gonna get Koed by Forbes but forbes is a live opponent.
Dont forget Oscar dosent have the handspeed nor Stamina to apply the necessary pressure against a guy like Forbes unlike Berto who goes to the body, head, uppercuts fills in the gaps really well with his punches... I think this is a different type of fight for Berto, we know he is tough and durable now we need to see how he can deal with a stick and mover like Forbes with a slick defense
