Berto vs. Quintana Fight Talk

[ElTerribleMorales]

I think you are seeing the best Berto you will come to see...and no Im not a hater.IMO this is as good as he is going to get

Not fair bro Quintana fought a negative fight, constantly holding Berto's arm not allowing him to work.

Berto was doing most the holding, hell he'd run up to him and basically clamp on, c'mon seriously it's not the first time he pulls this shit

[Truth]

Merchant sounds like he's about to keel over and fall asleep in this post fight interview

[ElTerribleMorales]

gonna laugh if Steward busts out with a "Cotto will fuck him up" lol

[Gandalf]

Berto said "Pacquiao looks like he might be Free"

agreeing with you on this one. and whats with the complaining about him being hit behind the head constantly. it was like 30 seconds into round 1 and he b****ed 3 times already.

Berto isnt a hard core fighter like Cotto or Mosley......I dont like the complaining and the denial that he was floored by quintana....

yep... only 30 seconds into the fight he complained like 3 to 4 times already for nothing.

[Majesty]

Rather see Berto fight Cintron next.

Yea, but he was borderline correct. He got hit behind the ear. Quintana was holding spinning Berto and punching him. The first knock down looked like a knock down in the replay. But watching it live, I thought Quintana pulled him more off balance when he went down. A foul is a foul and any should fighter have the right to complain if fouled.

I prefer the reaction what Muhammad Ali did, (I forget who he was fighting, maybe Leon Spinks) I vaguly remember him grabing his opponent and knocking on the back of his head repeatedly after getting hit one too many times with a rabbit punch.

I did a quick search it was Chuck Wepner.

After seeing this fight I think Shane Mosley was right. He would've ruined Berto. I don't think Berto is going to be the next. He will have nothing for Pac, Mosley, or Mayweather. I just don't see Berto improving. Berto is rather easy to time and he never makes you guess. Fast hands but nothing else exceptional. I hope someone in his team tells him the truth. Leave the big 3 alone.

Man I called that fight exactly how it went.

[RozzySean]

Some of last night was ring rust, I'm sure. I like Berto. He might have fought a little stupid against Collazo, but he earned my respect in that fight. He's got great speed and his uppercut is a thing of beauty.

But...

Shane would spark him, no doubt. He can't control Mosley with his jab, and Mosley would catch him all night long when he jumps in, and he would make him pay with counters for those combinations. It would be a man against a boy.

I think he gets the Cotto/Foreman winner.

[Master]

Berto was poor, no poise and composure, just loading up and little boxing skills.

I think he looked good, just lost his head and wanted to brawl. He fell into the trapps all night.

With some fine tuning he could be very good, but he without doubt needs to avoid top 3.
