Andre Berto vs Shane Mosley

[CFH]

you basically said the same thing about Dirrell, and although i thought he beat Froch, where were all these amazing combos that you said he would put together, same as Berto, he throws a couple of barking shots and is already fatigued by the 9th

Gotta disagree there man, Berto showed great stamina & resilience to pick up the last 2 rounds in the Collazo fight. I know some had it for Collazo, but for me, Berto needed those last 2 & he took them well, especially considering the pace the fight had been fought at. I think Dirrell won & is a potentially very good fighter, but Berto has a lot more for me, I don't think anyone who saw the Collazo fight could question his heart.

Collazo had already pushed mosley and hatton over 12rounds with both taking close decisions and i fully expected the same with this. Berto had to show a hell of a lot of courage in those last few rounds as he was losing the fight and could quite easily of lost the plot. Instead he went back to basics, stopped trying to knock his man out instead he used his superior boxing skills and in my eyes as well just nicked a decision.

Mosley struggled with luis also. This fight for me is won and lost on bertos ability to dominate with the jab over whether mosley can effectively pick his moments to counter berto and take him out as i dont think he can win a decision

Have you actually seen the Mosley - Collazo fight? It wasn't close at all.

i watched the unanimous decision commentary HBO gave him

Then i watched it in real time without the commentary and realised it was a hell of a lot closer than the final scorecards!

Really? I only watched it once, but from what I recall it wasn't even competitive after the 2nd or 3rd round, which is where Collazo says he broke his hand.

same here, i've seen it more than once and i felt that after the 4th round it was pretty much all Mosley, Berto/Collazo and Hatton/Collazo were close, i actually had Collazo winning both

[TheMacMagician]

I got Mosley all day against Berto, unless Berto holds him into a submission.

Exactly right...

Mosley looked rejuvenated against Tony. Sure, Margo is a cheat and all that...but the man has a granite chin...and Shane out powered him. I think switching to Nazim Richardson as a trainer, laying off the weights...has given Shane some more fluidity and pop on his punches. Berto will be tough. But i see Shane's experience and toughness get him throw this fight.

Mosley-Collazo a close decision, this has got to be a wind up Collazo didn't do anything after the second round, even Luis Collazo doesn't think that fight was close.

[Gandalf]

No, Mosley/Collazo wasn't close at all. Collazo seemed on autopilot throughout the fight, probably because he hurt his hand like he said.
