Shane usually isnt one to talk trash yet he is claiming he is gonna stop Berto quickly. It almost echos his overconfidence against Vernon Forrest and we all know what happened there. Plus, it's not like Shane has fixed the problems Forrest exposed, it's just that no one else has tried anything like it. If Cotto can outbox Shane a few years ago I don't see any reason why Berto can't. I think Berto wins this fight.
Man the recycled "mosley v mayorga mosely looked like he was done against mayorga" even though he knocked him out and the fight was at 154, the weight mosely has never looked good at. What about shane losing to bigger and longer fighters such as Winky and Vernon? Certainly Berto has Vernon's reach? What about his Technical boxing skills? NO? Then what about Winky? Umm let's see, Berto has a very tight defense just like winky? No? Well Certainly Berto is a southpaw that throws a very high jab from a high guard position? NO?
Because Andre didn't look ordinary against Urango did he? Of course not..He didn't arguably lose to Collazo did he? Of course not...
Berto does have the speed and skill to beat mosley, but with a possible huge money fight against the PBF v PACMAN winner, can't see Berto beating a motivated Shane with Naz in his corner...
