Berto vs. Quintana Fight Talk

I went with Berto decision but a Quintana win wouldn't suprise me at all.

I really don't think Berto is all that, his performances haven't impressed me much.

I think he's a level below Floyd, Manny and Mosely.

I personally think he gets taken to school if he steps in with any of those guys, and knocked out too most likely.

I'm not sold on his chin or his toughness. He should win tonight but I think he'll make hard work of it.

Not sure why you question his chin, he's been caught off-balance quite a few times because he easily gets out of position when he gets carried away. I can't remember him actually ever looking hurt though.

I think he was a bit hurt vs Cosme Rivera, but other than that. He's always shown a solid enough chin, and he showed alot of heart vs Luis Collazo.

By the way back on topic im going with Andre Berto by UD.

Where we can watch the fight?

I've got Berto stopping Quintana. I wouldn't be surprised with it going 12 though, with Berto being awarded a close but clear decision.

The undercard to this is now underway. Antwone Smith in against Franklin Gonzalez.

Smith's jab & left to the body looking good so far

Call me Nostradamus... Smith just dropped Gonzalez with a fantastic left to the body in the 3rd. This kid is really one of my favourite prospects right now, especially now my boy Adrien Broner looks headed for the pen.

It seems Smith might have cracked Gonzalez' rib with that shot. Badman.

Now Dominican Middleweight prospect Jonathan Cepeda up against Nigerian journeyman Shadrack Kipruto.

Cepeda has Kipruto down twice in the opening stanza. Cepeda looks good, but there's holes in his defence which need to get plugged or he'll be in trouble when he steps up.

Yeah, I had the same thing.

Cepeda just dropped Kipruto again in the 2nd with a peach of a left hook. Kipruto gets up and is dropped with another nice left. Ref stops it. Kipruto has great heart, still trying to get up at the end. Nice to see a journeyman who doesn't just show up for the paycheck.

i just tried it twice :mad:

not working

They're playing Mayweather/Mosley 24/7 here.

im watching the 24/7 right now. its aight

They'll probably show the 24/7 in the week leading up to the fight over here. I'll have to wait for a megavideo link tomorrow. It's great how much boxing we're now getting, particularly after the drought at the start of the year.

Kinda predictable that they would have random during shooting.
