Not Impressed With Andre Berto.....

[Kev]

I wanna see Berto vs. Julio....

Who do you think wins?

I'd go with Berto.

Well let me see.....

Julios jab has been working really well for him, Berto likes to be very aggressive and blast out his opponents.
Julios learned that you can't blast everyone out, I'm not sure if Berto has learned that yet.

I think Berto comes in and just man handles Julio early on, Julio weathers the storm and begins to keep Berto off with his jab and begins to land his mone shot the straight righ hand. Julios punches are more straight and IMO he would make contact with Berto 1st, Berto has the looping punches and IMO would get caught with Julios straight right hand.

I think Julio stops Berto late rds. or UD. But I would def. favor Julio....

Everybody whose views I respect seems to think more highly of Julio than I do. I don't see much there Maybe its just me.

He's got a bit of power but I don't see much in speed, footwork, punching technique, just skills in general.

I think the only thing Julio's got in his favor is experience but not by that much. I think Berto would be too fast for Julio, and stop him mid to late.

I have to be honest I agree with you, I don't really see much in either of them. Which Peterson brother is it that is the slick boxer? Well either Lamont or Anthony, whichever one isn't the puncher. Imo he'll go further than both Julio and Berto as will the other two Andres'.

I don't really see Berto or Julio doing anything at welterweight to be honest. Guys like Mosely and Floyd, probably Zab and maybe Collazo and Quintana are all too slick. Williams I think would just completely overwhelm them and Margarito, Cotto and Cintron knocks them both out.

I don't see either getting any further than Miranda really.

I have to ask....Where do you get the Peterson brothers out of any of that

Ah I see my posts caused some confusion.

Ok the Peterson brothers reference was because along with Berto and Julio they are Americas other great prospects, however Berto and Julio get more attention. I mentioned the slick boxer of the two because I feel out of all these prospects he has the tools to go the furthest. However HBO and boxing fans in general like the KO guys hence Berto and Julio get more coverage.

As for who the two Andres were, I meant Ward and Dirrel, two other young American prospects who both have the boxing skills to advance far.

I just feel that of all the prospects, even though Berto and Julio are touted the most, it is in fact the lighter punching (and thus less interesting to the tv companies) Peterson brother along with Ward and Direll who are likely to be futrue world champs and possible p4p stars of the future.

I really don't see that happening at all with either Berto or Julio.

Hope that clears everything up
