I'm gonna piss people off but here's the word on Berto...

[Taeth]

Nah, JT's been measured of late and for the most part we agree...

JT knows where I stand with this kid.

Here it is...

He has immense potential.

He has great speed...

He has good power...

But he's faced no one.



I WANT him to prove me wrong or he will just be another Lacy... Floundering(now THAT is gonna make JT throw some furniture around)

The great thing is that, with a belt, he'll probably get a chance to prove you wrong fairly soon. Even the gatekeepers at WW are dangerous

I know that's right!

I hope it's right...

I hope he does.

That D's been getting better but I hope he doesn't hit the Lacy wall...

Where potential and loses meet.

He is totally different then Lacy, When Lacy was meeting the same caliber fighters that Berto is now, he was having tough grueling fights, where his superior athleticism was winning out for him, but he was getting hit a lot, he was in control, but not dominating fights. Berto has been dominating every fight he has been in, he hasn't even had to switch gears or really put forth his best effort. We haven't even seen half the stuff he is capable off, he has the best handspeed at WW, he has great footspeed that he doens't always use, and he can throw combinations very, very well. Just give him time to calm down a little in the ring.
