This Friday on Spike TV. I always liked Lopez... and I think he can thrash Berto. If Berto can't win, and I think he will be beat up over 12 rounds, he should really retire. He's just not cut out for the elite level. Don't waste your time.
You see that guy Victor Ortiz? The guy that beat you up for the title? He's not an elite fighter anymore and he should go into the movies. Dunno why he is staying in the game for so long?!!?
Lopez did really well to beat Ortiz and has made good money but he has been beaten badly and there is no way he can beat Berto.
Berto was supposed to beat Soto-Karass and Guererro... but he didn't... lolol....Quote:

Berto seems injury prone for one thing.
I had to look at boxrec -much to my dismay, Berto has been fighting for 10 years. Doesn't seem that long, but he picked up the NABF & WBC in 2008. Made 5 title defenses. 2 time champ in 2011 for the IBF.
11 years is a good run, I, too think he is past his best, but from my perspective he was cut out for the elite level-as in past tense.
Side note- anyone disagree/agree with this: 5'6 w/68 reach @ WW was to his disadvantage.
Yea... he looked more awkward than Gamboa. lol.... like a little turtle.Quote:

Berto and Ortiz had a heck of a fight, they should do it again
I agree actually... lol...Quote:

I wouldn't mind if they fought 3 times actually. I love the style match up they have. Plus they are certainly rivals as well similar ages, meshing styles, similar skill levels....Can't say that about many fighters or even divisionsQuote:

Buuuuump! 10 minutes until kick off :biteit:
Very late replacement..Garcia out! Erick Bone to fight Porter??? http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?hum...9394&cat=boxer
Refs wearing bandana head cams? Not to keen on that man.
Porter still sloppy, Bone looks willing and composed in 1st!
Porter and Bone in the ring in the ring. Bone is going to bring it!
Both trading shots, Porter bulling him but getting clipped in some of those blind spots in return!
Wow. Bone landing clean left hooks end of round. Porter much more in his face in 3rd. Ref warns Bone twice for wrestling but at the very least it was mutual.
Bone does not use the jab enough for me. Porter just walks right in!
Porter mauls him hard, Bone down twice and counted! Strong finish as Porter walked thru his punches and finished big.
Porter fights like a man possessed but he seriously needs to learn to duck
Hearns picks Mayweather. Arreola vs Harper makes the air, both 260+ :-X
That was a fun round, this cant be good for harpers health......
I didn't realize Arreola had regressed to the point that he needed to fight competition not ranked in the Top 100. But he doesn't look like he bothered to train either so who knows.
Shocked Harper made it out of 1st and is now clocking Chris hard. Speaks volumes
Damn, I missed the KO, had to break up a dogfight outside. If they keep that crap up I'll put them in their cages on fight nite.
Wow, he rocked him :o
Where is Max Power to tell us that these guys are better because they are fatter?
This doesn't belong on television. There had to be an undercard fight where guys could fight hard for 10 seconds straight.
Arreola is on his way to a loss, Arreola is getting his butt kicked.
Its ugly, buts its a solid flabby scrap. Bonus waffles to the winner :feedme:
Absolutely love Nate Campbell working the corner
Hilarious commentary "260 pound men! Who did the road work?!"
Neither, it's obvious neither did the road work
I'm getting a T-shirt made that reads, " Boxing's Heavyweight Division" and underneath, "Sucking Since 1865"
The judge that gave Arreola 6 rounds should be suspended immediately. This stuff isn't complicated. Just watch fights, say that's a shitty card not worthy of paydays so you will not be receiving paydays.
A fun fight for me, Arreola escaped a near disaster.
Berto is my poster boy for a rushed product. Wonder what kind of shape Lopez is in. Paunchy last couple of fights. This should be guaranteed fireworks
Evening everybody. Just made it for the main event. I like Lopez here. He's probably the least shot of the two.
Berto felt those body shots!
I smell a round of the year somewhere in this fight... watch out for it...
It's going to be good. 2-0 Lopez
When Berto gets hit clean and fast now its like someone stuck a fork into a light socket. Beginning to be moved by Lopez
This ref is was too fucking involved in this fight...
Better 4th for Berto, needs to stay in the middle of himself. So damn top heavy. These guys should be wearing helmets
