Berto will be coming off of his first loss to Ortiz and looking to get another strap, so it should be a good fight. I agree that Zaveck looks to be a a tough fight for Berto, definately not a gimmie.
I'm not sure how much to read into Zavecks KO of Hlatswayo, the guy was probably shot, he was stopped in 3 2 fights later by Ben Rabah. But Berto's always had a questionable chin so you never know...
Yeah getting KOed that early by Ben Rabah is saying something, I mean the guy is a great boxer, but no killer instinct and prefers to stay outside as much as possible.

I haven't watched Zaveck in a while, but if I recall correctly he has some sharp combos, but lacks on the footwork a bit. Toe to toe with Berto you are in a pure hand speed game and as long as Berto doesn't get shy and tie up he should win the exchanges pretty handily. If Zaveck can keep Berto turning I wouldn't consider it an upset really, but he could win this.
