I give Berto a very serious chance but I find myself leaning more towards Mosley as the fight gets closer. I think Ive been won over by the argumnet that Shane has forgotten more than Berto will ever know but when it was 1st announced I was very much backing Berto to win on points fairly comfortably for a number of reasons

  • Shane isnt as motivated for this one like last time. He is looking past Berto
  • Berto is younger and its his biggest fight. It isnt Shanes
  • Mosley could find Tonys chin because its there to be hit. Bertos isnt as easy to catch.
  • A boxer puncher like Cotto can give Mosley trouble. Berto wont engage when Mosley wants him to.
  • Mosley is getting older but Berto is getting better.



Despite of all of that Im going against my own logic and pick Mosley to win in a come from behind victory, hurting Berto late like against Mayorga. If he wins in that fashion no way will Floyd or Pac be able to go on avoiding him
