    Thumbs up Jan Zaveck vs. Andre Berto fight thread - on HBO tonight

    Jan Zaveck won the IBF welterweight title from Isaac Hlatshwayo by 3d round KO, in Dec. of '09 and defended it 3 times going into the fight with Berto, this might be a decent tussle Saturday night.

    September 3
    At Biloxi, Miss. (HBO): Jan Zaveck vs. Andre Berto, 12 rounds, for Zaveck's IBF welterweight title; Gary Russell Jr. vs. Leonilo Miranda, 10 rounds, featherweights; Thomas Oosthuizen vs. Aaron Pryor Jr., 12 rounds, super middleweights.

    HBO will likely show, Gary Russell Jr. vs. Leonilo Miranda, 10 rounds, featherweights on the undercard.

    The action starts @ 10:30 PM EST tonight, let's get ready to rumble!!

    I think Zaveck will be tougher than Berto is expecting

    Berto will be coming off of his first loss to Ortiz and looking to get another strap, so it should be a good fight. I agree that Zaveck looks to be a tough fight for Berto, definitely not a gimme.

    I'm not sure how much to read into Zavecks KO of Hlatswayo, the guy was probably shot, he was stopped in 3 2 fights later by Ben Rabah. But Berto's always had a questionable chin so you never know...

    I've just never cared much for Berto, so i'll be pulling for Zaveck, I hope he doesn't get robbed here in the U.S.

    They are importing Zaveck strictly for his trinket and if he wins (by ko) don't expect to see him again on HBO. Berto doesn't belong in a follow up main event let alone a trinket affair next fight out I believe. Personally I hope Jan balls him up like dirty laundry and pitches him into the pile of force fed hype jobs.

    Yeah getting KOed that early by Ben Rabah is saying something, I mean the guy is a great boxer, but no killer instinct and prefers to stay outside as much as possible.

    I haven't watched Zaveck in a while, but if I recall correctly he has some sharp combos, but lacks on the footwork a bit. Toe to toe with Berto you are in a pure hand speed game and as long as Berto doesn't get shy and tie up he should win the exchanges pretty handily. If Zaveck can keep Berto turning I wouldn't consider it an upset really, but he could win this.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    Berto has had haymon getting him big paydays for fighting tune ups prior to his fight with Ortiz. I'd hope if he got KO'd by Zaveck and his HBO career ended, that he would have already stashed away enough money to live off of for quite a while.
