Well, decent enough win for Berto. But any of the top guys in the division will bust him up. He holds far too much and looks for breathers.

Merchant sounds like he's about to keel over and fall asleep in this post fight interview
Berto hurt is left bicept. He said that's why he went after Quintana to tget the fight over with,
Berto said "Pacquiao looks like he might be Free"
I think he was rusty, he has been out almost a year, and once he relaxed in the 7th round he took over. I still believe he's got some serious promise. How he finished Quintana was excellent, he was much more measured, but precise with what he did. If he'd started like that, he would have done the job. I think he was also way too hot-headed & determined to blow Quintana away at the start because of the Haiti thing.Quote:

Clearly we see it diffrently.Its what I believe.Berto has always clinched and leaned in...seems his corner has recognized it as well.Watch his last 6 fights or so and tell me he does not clinch and hold.I think hes flawed and he is not improving on a scale or pace to hold his own with a Mosley or Mayweather.No where close I believe.Meet me back here when he is p4p top tier and beats guys of that ilk and I promise to eat my words,hook line and sinker.Quote:

I dont like berto, I cant wait until he is KO'd
It is only a matter of time.....
I think those things can be worked on. The coverage over here were really questioning whether his head was in the right place following what he saw in Haiti. He wouldn't be able to live with Floyd, Shane or Manny right now, but he should keep busy maybe fighting Cotto, he's part of the next gen of 147lbers with Mike Jones & Saul Alvarez.Quote:

He should avoid Cotto at this point, unless it becomes clear in the Foreman fight that he's really on the slide. I'd like to see him rematch Collazo.Quote:

did he say " i think manny pacquiao is free" or something like that?
listening to manny steward on his post fight commentary and looking at his face makes me think that deep inside hes saying something like "too bad he didnt wait for cotto to test that chin"
I think those things have been worked on, I mean he's a title holder he should have cleared it up by now.Quote:
