Yeah i kinda see what you mean. His poise (SP), seems very in control, unfazed, always throwing nice shots.

Probably a fair bit slower though. Punching power looks phenomenal against Bravo... But we'll see.

Let's not be so swift to trash Lacy; on L and some people have him all but washed up. C'mon, he lost to Joe Calzaghe--everyone's lost against Joe Calzaghe.

I'd say Berto looks most like Lacy except he knows how to throw punches that aren't power shots. His speed is better and his defense is better. In the fight where Berto took a lot of shots, that wasn't a matter of poor defense, it was Berto opening himself up to take him out because the other guy couldn't hurt him.

In 2 years, Berto will be able to take on and beat anyone in the division. At least I hope so.

Siad it about a year back when i first saw him. The bloke looks very talented, has everything i look for in a fighter, comes forward, quick hands and carries a juicy punch with it! Also he dont stand there to get clocked he gets in and out.
