I think 116-111 is retarded, I don't think Berto should have been taken away a point for holding that was retarded then i would have had a little wider margin, but wow they both went to war. I've never seen Collazo fight like this, and Berto showed maybe the first extremely gifted fighter since Meldrick Taylor that he can stand in there and trade, and do it well. There better be a fight way better than Marg-Cotto in order to beat this for fight of the year, this is what I call back and forth action, with high skill guys who like to fight.
That being said I am little dissapointed that Berto won't be the next Mayweather or Hopkins or RJJ, he doesn't have that kind of mindset that you need to be like them, I think if he would have moved more, and kept the distance Collazo wouldn't be able to deal with his speed, and he wasn't able to, but Berto let Collazo do his thing too often, let Collazo throw Calzaghe type punches too many times.
I must say though I am finally happy that clean, decisive punching finally got a nod in boxing.
