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

[Kirkland Laing]

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.

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...

Ortiz was 23 and a growing lad. Guerrero is 29 and all of a sudden he can jump two weight classes and dominate big welters.

Hey like I said you're probably sadly right and half or more of these guys are juicin, and sadly the last year or so has made it hard to believe otherwise with all the names that been caught. I was just stating tho that I don't think bertos lower body strength is all that great and so I could see a non juicin fighter moving up push him around. Wish they would install real drug testin with real consequences not ones were you can get out of punishment by claiming ya ate a tainted burito or some other stupid shit

I could be wrong, but I doubt that Guerrero is using PEDs, yeah jumping up 2 weight classes and winning a title seems a bit odd, but not unheard of in boxing. No need to jump to conclusions, Robert looked like he had the frame to move up, when he was a lightweight.

This wasn't an easy fight to watch at times, but I liked the result. Berto is a tough/dangerous pug who will still be in the WW title picture after tonight, but this loss to Guerrero, the one to Ortiz and the PEDs issue have to lower his market value. HBO however, will continue to suck on Berto's hind tit.

That ghost was anything but ethereal. Damn good fight!

I loved that fight,a proper throw back fight,toe to toe battle,two warriors going at it.
The ref fucked up on the first knockdown,but i think he done well to let the fighters
hammer away at close range in fighting.Scores of the judges were a bit wide of
the mark but Guerrero deserved the decision.Hope to see a rematch,superb fight.

[Dia bando]

Very entertaining fight, but Guerrero made heavy weather of the fight, Berto could not miss him with them uppercuts. I have Guerrero winning by 3 rounds, worth a rematch no doubt they say boxing
is dying no were near it.

Had to bump for look back . Miss those mash up HBO cards.
