I think it's a good matchup at this point of both of their careers. Berto os trying to take that next step up, and Ortiz is trying to get back. If Ortiz loses i think it sets him back big time.

I disagree with your last statement. Ortiz is moving up in weight and fighting a world champion. I don't know if he can still make 140. But if he lose, the Jr Lightweight division is always there. And IMO, Ortiz can give any fighter at 140 some sort of trouble. He almost had MM. Zab can't stay focus to long but might get a title this weekend. Ortiz style makes a good fight for Bradley. And Khan is a punch away from going to sleep. And we know Ortiz got power.

Now if Berto lose, he will go to the bottom of the list. He will be losing to a first time 147lber. Will fall out of the Pacman sweepstakes. And already gave up his chance to fight Shane. I don't know where he will go if he lose.

Saying all that, I'm going with Berto, with Ortiz corner stopping the fight. Maybe on the stool. MM don't have much if any handspeed. And was able to land solid shots on Ortiz. Berto has really good handspeed and pretty good power. And Berto went into deep water with Collazo. And he fought hard in the championship rounds. If it gets there, I'm sure Berto will willing to fight. Not sure about Ortiz.

Good fight nonetheless!!!!
