Berto vs. Quintana Fight Talk

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Quintana for me. Although i'm usually terrible at picking fights.

[Zilla]

Berto by shocking KO. He's going to do to Quintana what he did to that Mexican guy who wanted to be in Hollywood. Except Quintana doesn't have his chin.

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

Berto by decision. His fights have been measured lately and Quintana's style won't allow Berto much opportunity to sit down on most punches. Quintana is pretty slick but I say Berto by decision.

[The Fightfan]

To me I think it is what Quintana has left after a devastating KO against Williamsand the beatdown from Cotto. He has had two fight's since the Williams loss but not that elite level. This is it for Berto if he beats Quintana in an impressive fashion he will be considered a star. I think Berto is ready and he will KO Quintana.

Berto to stop him late

[JazMerkin]

I think Berto will stop him and look spectacular doing it. Then I'd like to see him batter Margarito in a similar deal to the B-Hop-RJJ one, only Berto is guaranteed the first $50m, with Margarito guaranteed the next 10 cents.

Marg could be on the contract that Roy Jones was allegedly on against Hopkins in their second fight.

We'll find out in this fight, Quintana is gonna be the biggest guy he will have faced to date and he's a southpaw, so there is much to be learned from his performance here in my opinion.

My issue with Berto is that I don't see any improvement from fight to fight, he doesn't look like he's learning anything. I see phenomenal hand speed, I see a decent chin, but that's always been there. His footwork isn't very good and his defense isn't that good either. Fortunately his hand speed has been able to get him through so far, but I'm just waiting for a mover to take him to school, Quintana could be that man if the planets align correctly. He's already taken the virginity of two undefeated "next best things" in Paul Williams and Joel Julio.

I think Berto needs this to be his eye grabbing break out win no doubt....was yearning for that Mosley fight too.But dont think the he could handle the Mosley that fought Margarito....IF Mosley beats Mayweather (clause?) and Berto looks solid,might see it.

It's tough to guage. It depends what Berto we see. I pick Shane to mash him if that fight had gone down. I hope Shane doesn't get old overnight. Berto has the goods but I don't want to see anymore fights like the Urango fight. That was just boring as shit. Granted Berto dominated but he has the ability to knock anyone in the division out. Berto needs to settle into a style. It's tough to call but if I had to say...

I think Berto gets beat by Manny by KO, Floyd by decision and Mosley by decision.

He can beat anyone else in the division. Fact.

[CFH]

Berto by stoppage. He won't dominate Quintana, but eventually he'll catch him with something he doesn't see coming.

[Puerto Rican Punch]

Quintna can win this fight and I am choosing him to win by Decision. But, to achieve this he will need to dominate clearly because I believe that the judges will favor Berto (one more time) if the fight is close even if Quintana is winning. Quintana needs to connect some good punches early to gain Berto's respect although I see hard the KO because Berto has shown to have heart.

My question with Quintana is how his stamina will be in the late rounds now that he is moving back to 147. If he runs out of gas then, the story may be different.

[fan johnny]

I don't think Berto can handle Quintina's movement and Quintina is very dangerous for Berto because Berto often has his hands chest high when coming forward. If Quintina sits on his punch it has power. But I think he doesn't know out Berto so Quintina by decision.

[Majesty]

Quintana is good when he can stick and move and his opponent doesn't know how to attack his body or use a jab.

Julio came at him all wide shots and the straight shot he threw he dropped him with after that it was all winging and no setting up. Williams in the first fight all upstairs shots. Williams beat him in the rematch measuring distance and using a jab and trying to counter him. If there is anything Berto has its a jab straight shots and uppercuts, with a little defense in him. Barring a Urango performance I can see him beating quintana with relative ease.
