Robert Guerrero vs. Andre Berto - Saturday night fight/chat thread

[Kirkland Laing]

VADA caught Berto last time. Guerrero's people wanted VADA testing for this fight but Berto refused and only agreed to USADA, an organisation which has a seriously questionable relationship with Golden Boy who are now Berto's promoters. Draw your own conclusions. It's really worth reading those two PED articles.

I'm going to go way out on a limb and pick Berto to win this weekend.

Got a really great gift for my bday to go sit down ringside for this one, Im gonna go and sit for the entire card and milk it.

Personally I think it could go either way, Guerrero is a warrior and should have a height and reach advantage on Berto but if Bertos catches him it could be lights out for the Ghost. If the ghost can make the final bell I think he can take a points decision with effective punching and ring generalship...if Berto catches him itll be sometime in the 6th.

Thats the only way to do it when seeing live fights. Happy Birthday !

This is a fight I would love to watch, I have always like Berto with his fast martial art hands but his development has certainly been stalled with fights falling through against Shane, loss to Ortiz and drugs appeals. I hope he can pull it off but Guerrero seems fearless considering he fought at the lower weights. It will be very interesting who wins as they would have a good case to be Floyds next opponent.

To be honest I hate to pick a winner for this fight and that means I'm gonna enjoy it. I hate fights in which the winner really is a forgone conclusion (looking at you Demarco Broner) but I guess I would lean towards Guerrero as he is taller and he does pop his jab. Berto will have power on his side and he's not exactly slow either but I think Guererro is more solidly built as a fighter.

Robert Guerrero: Andre Berto Has A Soft Chin

[Kirkland Laing]

Guerrero has had exactly one fight at welterweight and fought a basically untested guy. He's fighting somebody who can really punch at the weight. If anybody's chin is getting tested it's Guerrero's.

This is a fight I was thinking about going to, it's right down the street form my son's place in Ontario where I'll be for Thanksgiving, but I decided to spend the time with the family instead.
The big question in this fight is if Guerrero can stay away from Berto's big punches. I think he can, he's a champion now and was one before, plus I think his boxing IQ is higher than Berto's.
I want Guerrero to win this one, but it could go the other way fast.
