Andre Berto is fighting Juan Urango May 30th?

[Taeth]

Booooooo

What happened to Cotto or Clottey or Mosley or Collazo?

this really dissapoints me, either take a step up or rematch Collazo.

Yep it's a done deal, it would have been better for someone bigger but will still be a decent matchup

[Kel]

I hope Urango wins.

I know berto has the belt and all, but this is exactly the type of guy he needs to be fighting right now. He and we all know he isn't ready for the top of the division right now. Collazo..he's been there done that, every close fight doesn't deserve a rematch instead another good fight with someone else is better imo. Berto fell into the belt prematurely he knows that, this fight will be decent i don't blame berto.

I mean when will Berto be ready He just fought a solid contender and looked pretty average, Collazo imo is the sort of opponent you fight just before your big fight in your career hes a top 10 fighter who comes ready, Urango Im sorry but this is bullshit, Urango is a limited 140 lb fighter Berto is the WBC Champ ffs, he neeeds to be ready now if not he needs to stop pretending hes a world champion.

What are people talking about? Urango is terrible, and a huge step down. He's similar to the guy Berto beat to get the belt. He doesn't need speed bumps right now, its time to see if he can fly or not. When he doesn't square up and throw haymakers he is amazing, but then he throws telegraphed punches that make him easy to counter, and he is wide open when he starts throw widely. There are times however where he is very tactical, he is one of the best athletes to ever grace boxing, but he needs to utilize that ability along with the boxing skills which he does have, if he wants to compete at the top level. IMO he should be going to Floyd Snr to tighten up that defense, and keep it tight because he is super hard to hit when he doesn't want to be, but he gets drawn into slugfests.

Good posting...good points....I agree with most of it 100%...

Berto did fall into the title a bit too early....A rematch with Collazo will not prove much....IMO he beats Collazo next time around with out the amount of difficulity he had 1st time....Berto is still in the growing stages of his career...His power is natural...His boxing ability is getting better...A little more on defense and a bit on stamina would be nice....

But he needs diversity in opponents right now....He needs to get used to being in there with all styles......He is a poor mans Fernando Vargas...A bit too much too soon but the mistakes made with Fernando can be avoided if they don't throw him in with the top of the heap just yet....EG-Clotty, Cotto, Mosley etc....There are champions out there defending against worse then Collazo and Urango so no reason to be that rough on him for opponent choice

I personally think Urango wins inside 10

[Galaxy]

I may be in the minority here but I think this is a pretty good match-up! It has the potential to be a great fight (like Collazo/ Berto was), if Berto is impressive here then he can move on to much bigger fights. IMO Berto needs to build his name a little more then when potential fights with the Cotto's or Mosley's materialize they are huge events!

What are you smoking?

Also Bilbo Berto had one knockdown against Rivera where he got sloppy besides that he dominated the entire fight.

Riveria floored him legitimately and took him 10 rounds. For a supposed future world class star thats piss poor imo. Judah blasted him out inside 3 rounds and Angulo just manhandled him and forced him to quit in 5.

If Berto is truly world class he shouldn't be going 10 rounds with the likes of Riveria and he certainly shouldn't be getting floored by them.

I think Urango is a good test for Berto right now. Apart from Collazo he's never fought anyone better.

I'm not sold on Berto's tougness really, I think Urango will ask a few questions of him. I expect Berto to win but I reckon he'll be taken another 12 hard rounds and will have a few ropey moments whereas Mosely, Williams, Mayweather, Cotto etc wouldn't have any problems

Um you do know that Rivera had 2 weeks noticed for the Angulo fight and came in 17 pounds lighter than him?

Also you want to talk about Zab Judah, I dare his promoter to try and put him in with Berto, he would get destroyed.

Forbes is really tough, nobody has even dropped him, David Estrada is super tough and it took Cintron only one less round to stop him.

Not trying to compare the two, but do you think ALi should have been floored by Henry Cooper?

Didn't Felix Trinidad go down? Didn't Demarcus Corley affected Mayweather, and almost knock out Cotto?

Taeth serious if you had your head any higher up Bertos arse you would look like Dion Dublin.

Because I think it ridiculous to state that Urango will beat Berto or because Berto won every single round, except the one he was knocked down in.

Only messing but come on mate you go on about Berto as the second coming when in reality he is nothing special.
