I didn't see the fight but from what i've seen previously with Berto he isn't really improving IMO like Cotto or Mayweather were at this point in there career's, Berto has a solid jab, good handspeed, good power, but his defense is very leaky he might of improved on it in his last fight because i didn't see it. But from previous fights he hadn't improved on his defense, i agree with Mick he needs to step up and fight with winner of Clottley vs Judah or even Collazo just any of the top Welterweights who can test him then we can see what level he is at. The old saying is that when a boxer becomes a world champion they automatically become 25 percent better, lets hope that happens in Berto's case.

I think that is too early for Berto to unified Tiltle , and he maybe could face with the winner between Judah /Clotey or Quntana/Cintron , Collazo , Gomez , Baldomir , etc.........

Berto was sharp and accurate last night. But he seems to lack on power department.

I feel the same way. Love his hand speed. Not convinced about his power

You infer all this from fighting Miguel Rodriguez JT? That seems a bit odd. I like Berto too but who knows about his defense because of this fight? I mean Rodriguez just was no threat offensively at all. Saying he's as dangerous as Cotto is how the hype gets out of hand.

I'm still not sure how much of his KO's are a result of power and not handspeed. I want to see him with a top 10 welterweight at this point or at least someone who poses a threat without jumping up to far. Going for Mosley would just be a nightmare for Berto imo, I think that's a terrible style match up. Berto actually reminds me a lot of a young Mosley but that's to much to soon imo. I would have to pick even a past best Mosley.

Maybe Paul Williams, that's an interesting one but Collazo, Cintron, Baldomir ect. would be better because despite holding a belt, Berto isn't top tier yet. This division is absolutely stacked, way to stacked to move up before you're ready.

Nope Amat been open about my support for Berto well over a year and have kept my zeal under check but have made it known... I'm far from a jonny come lately bandwagoner.. I feel good following him since he was a green prospect similiar to Lacy... Berto showed patience which is a virtue lacking in a young speedster with power...

I actually think Mosely would be a great matchup for Berto... I can see Shane get beaten to the punch and out of Machoness trying to retaliate and leaving to many holes for Berto to fill...Mosely can take a shiit load of punishment but I feel like this point in his career he has to slow down...

I guess I am being premature here on handing over the Welterweight division to him, but that kind of skill, speed,power,balance and evolving defense is something special and you cant ignore the 800 lb gorilla in the room you guys cant kid yourself and think that any of the top guys havent taken notice of Berto.... He's coming!!!

He has a lot of ability to work with, for sure - but I'm a little nervous about him grabbing a title too soon. I'd love to see him get in some more work before gunning for one of the big boys.
