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

[Mars_ax]

Lederman has Guerrero way up on the scorecards, 97-91 after 10.

Damn, Brutal fight, Berto clearly lost on points, but you can't say the dude has any quit in him.

Nice win for Robert, i'm happy for him, officially a UD by scores of 116-110 x 3 - that sounds about right.

WTF Max, Berto was doing it just as much you asshole.

Ironic statement of the year!

If you're watching in the UK, Steve Bunce just said he hopes that whomever is conducting the interview is someone annoying or who grates on him.

Berto's has a legitimate beef here. If this was reffed with boxing rules, I think he would have won.

I hate Al Haymon and his goofy looking kids.

That's Sam Watson and Watson's goofy looking kids. Haymon's right hand man. If Berto had won tonight he'd almost certainly have got the next Mayweather gig.

Good to know.

Guerrero is definitely a very skilled fighter (although we didn't see too much of that tonight.) And he's got an amazing chin. But what I don't get is how you can come up from lightweight to welterweight and be able to bully guys like Berto around without some help. You've basically got to assume that everybody at the top level in boxing is taking something until it's proved otherwise. Other than Donaire, who is the only top fighter to agree to year-round random testing I wouldn't put any money on any of these guys being clean.

Really couldn't agree with this more. The powers that be seem happy to turn a blind eye though. Hand out the occasional pointless punishment and carry on business as usual.

you're probably sadly right but got to remember berto got chicken legs so i dont imagine its thats hard to push him around if you're a full fledged welter which is what robert is now, i mean ortiz did it to and he had just moved up from 140...

Or maybe you have to assume Berto is now made to fight juice free, off first loss, a torn bicep and meeting a guy more capable of exploiting his obvious mistakes and far more skilled than a Ortiz I think you are greatly selling Guerrero short with conspiracy theory and in a round about way, ala network..still selling a Berto.

I don't know what KB is. That makes me feel old.

Yes Berto...the REF made you timid They are still selling this guy...Bero sounds like a clown in interview...a durable one though
