Berto's corner was nonexistent

[El Kabong]

Just watched the fight....brilliant fight. I hope Ortiz keeps this winning attitude, he was a warrior in there. Berto seemed flat from the get go, like he was just going to walk through Ortiz.

As for Berto's corner...the trainer told Andre nothing, Andre's brother was awful...he wouldn't shut up and he gave bad advice "just pump the jab"...vs a southpaw?!?!? HELLOOO!!! Meanwhile Ortiz's corner was on the mark "I told you we don't want to throw that 1 punch by itself...follow up" great advice and bar some defensive lapses Ortiz fought a perfect fight.

Not a peep on direction. Boxing 101. Next time just pay the janitor 100 bucks to pose as a trainer.

EASILY! Great great match, I think a rematch would be as good maybe even better! Both Ortiz and Berto landed with great power and frequency and I was AMAZED that Ortiz got up from that knockdown in the 6th. That is exactly what people want to see out of the heavyweights!

Glad we agree on something.

A lot of posters on here do not agree it was fight of the year since the fight kind stagnated after the 6th. But I fell that it was a truely exciting and compelling fight to watch LIVE and easily fight of the year.

Yes and David Haye is gonna give it to them !
