[QUOTE=IamInuit;961538]I have a question. Was the trainer even watching the fight or was he watching the clock? That corner was the very definition of incompetence. Guys fighting a south paw and not a peep about direction.
I was surprised this hasn't been mentioned more. If you see the fight again, watch how often Ortiz establishes outside foot position and how often his right hand is outside Berto's left. He steps in, no jab, picks his lead foot up and over Berto's front foot and then rips a lead left to the chest followed by a right hook. Berto gets so tired of getting cut off he backs in to the middle rope, which is better than getting cut off in the corner.
Ortiz fought a classic southpaw's fight and Berto's corner had no answers.
