i dont think this will be a defining fight, if ortiz wins then he will be back in the big time for sure but if he loses i think he has a long way to go to be considered top level again

if berto loses then it will be a massive blow for his career, losing his title to a faltering light welterweight, Berto has to win well to gain anything from the fight (appart from money obviously)

I think Berto will win inside the distance
Ortiz won't beat Berto. If somehow he pulled the upset, he'd be setting himself up for big, big fights, and Berto would suffer a major set-back. However, it won't happen. Berto will win again and again he has somehow managed to make a ton of money not fighting the guys in the upper echelon fighters in his division.
