Completely agree here, I think some people are being a bit too much on this fight.
I will say he didn't look as impressive as he has looked on other nights. Last night hes defense was a bit sloppy and he appeared to gas out in the 7th rd were he took a break and also in the 10th were he got hit with a lot of punches.....

He did however win convincingly and was very close to having the ref. jump in and stop the fight. Many times the ref. appeared to be stoping the fight cause he would look closely at Rivera.

Not only the count but did you see that all the time he got when they were taping his glove?
What a crock of shit! that ref. did a piss poor job in that fight IMO.....


I wanna see Berto vs. Julio....
