    Default Andre Berto inadvertently dodges a bullet...

    All bullshit aside Berto dodged a bullet not fighting Mosley...

    Ring rust aside... There's not much of a difference between January 30th and April 10th. It's just over 2 months.

    I recognise there were alot of things he had to deal with mentally... But he's had months and a solid training camp to work them out.

    He tore his bicep or injured his arm in some manner which must have been difficult but he ended the fight when he could and I applaud him for it. It was a good solid sustained attack that warranted a stoppage.

    ...But if anybody in here thinks he, after that performance... which was impressive in the end... is ready for Sugar Shane Mosley, I'll say your dillusional.

    Would Mosley have done better better under the same circumstances?

    I think Berto is as good as hes going to get.Hes been doing the same inconsistent things for the past number of fights and for all of his good handspeed,its just not complimented by a 'fluid' style or fast loose legs.He stands right in front,falls into his opponent and is so top heavy that he is just begging to be timed down the middle and or worked on the inside.I think that corner and handlers realize it,you can hear the frustration in between rounds..."dont lean it Andre,throw more than one" seems to run on a loop.I can see them putting him in very deep soon...a sink or swim fight.

    I agree. Berto is not ready for the big 3. They may very well ruin him. Pac and Mosley would surely stop him. Berto is too predictable, too hittable, and still light green. What we seen in the Collazo fight was no fluke. Berto is not improving. I think he is too sure of himself. That will work on every welter except the big 3. He should let the big 3 work their way out and then take the baton for the changing of the guard.

    I agree Berto woulda had his ass handed to him against Mosley.

    But Yahoo sports boxing & MMA columnist, Kevin Lole thinks that Berto is now in "the big 3" with Mayweather and Pacquaio. And has surpassed Mosley with his performance against Quintanna.

    God I hate that Kevin Lole douchebag...

    Such an MMA suck ass...
