I'm with Lopez over Berto!

[ruthless rocco]

It's too bad Lopez is unwilling to use his boxing skills to win fights. He established a good lead in the fight. He had a significant reach and mobility advantage over Berto. If he had kept fighting from the outside he could have boxed to an easy UD or late stoppage win.

He should take a look at Gatti's career and learn from the adjustments Gatti made towards the end.

Maybe Berto had something to do with Lopez early advantage being nullfied.

I think the fight changed when Lopez backed himself against the ropes and invited Berto to trade with him. He gave up all his natural size and athletic advantages to trade with a big puncher. That was the beginning of the end. Up to that point he was doing good body work and was effective landing first and maintaining distance.
