A great next fight for berto, i don't have much faith in judah winning but maybe just testing berto again and giving him some new looks and experiece etc...judah like usual will look good for a bit and then find a way to loose,another dec for berto.

I don't think its a bad fight, Berto's not ready for the top level guys but Judah's obviously not a top level guy. Berto's gotta be the favorite but Judah should be able to handle Berto's power and could make it interesting.

i agree, that Berto isn't ready for the top tier of welters yet, but i'd like to see him fight someone better than Judah..

Maybe someone like a Cintron.. someone who poses a threat that Berto will have to find a way to win the fight instead of being favored heavily..

I'd say one of those big stepping stones fight where he is in a battle and shows that he's the real deal, then i'd LOVE to see him fight Cotto. If he fails to impress in the stepping stone fight then I'd have a hard time seeing him beat Cotto/Margarito/Clottey etc..

I would like to see Berto-Cintron, I think that's a dangerous fight though, we would find out about Berto's chin. Granted I don't think Cintron hits as hard as some have given him credit for but he can crack and he would have time to land on Berto since Berto doesn't have the power to get Cintron out of there early. Berto probably does have more heart although Cintron's probably gets bagged on too much.

Berto needs to figure out what he is as a fighter. He's not a puncher, and he doesn't have an inside game so even though Saturday was entertaining and he showed a lot of heart that's the not the way for him to go in the future I don't think, he needs to stay on the inside, box and move.

edit, stay on the outside, box and move.

agreed, he really has not identified himself as to the type of fighter he is..

he's fast as all hell, and has pretty decent power for not being a huge welter. He has some solid combinations, especially with that big uppercut.. His defense is lacking, but with footwork he could have some serious defensive skills.. i'd reccomend getting Floyd Sr. to train him on this.
