HBO looking to make Williams v Cintron and Berto v Malinaggi April 10th

[skel1983]

Boxingtalk report this, what is it with Berto and LW's?? Forbes,Urango and now Malinaggi?

Not a bad card but saying that if we see anything but comfortable wins for Williams and Berto id be very suprised.

I'd love to see WIlliams open up the Cintron tear ducts; Kermit will be sobbing by 7th round Berto/Malinaggi no thanks.

Paulie- Berto sounds ok to me.. Who else do you want him to fight with Pac, Clotty, Mayweather, and Mosely all now fighing it looks like..

Maybe you could make a case for cotto having another go, but i suspect he will take a bit of time off...

Obviously the Collazo rematch which was one of the fights of the year in 2009.

Obviously the Collazo rematch which was one of the fights of the year in 2009.

Collazo was offered a rematch, but he demanded more than HBO were willing to put up for both fighters. Berto agreed to the deal, Collazo didn't so he's brought it on himself. I thought Berto just edged the first fight, I'd expect him to dominate a rematch.

I don't like Berto-Malignaggi though, Paulie is a powderpuff at 140 & Berto hits a lot harder than Hatton or a weight-drained Cotto.

I like a fight between Berto & Bradley if it could be made.

Williams vs Cintron is an interesting matchup.

I personally feel that Cintron won't be able to deal with the pace and pressure that Williams would apply. I expect Williams stopping Cintron on the ropes at somepoint in the later rounds.

Cintron does make this fight interesting with his power though. Cintron is a big puncher and Williams is easy to hit, Williams has showed a durable chin throughout his career but was dropped hard by Martinez who isn't a huge puncher like Cintron.

Berto vs Paulie is a joke of a fight. It would be like the Berto - Forbes fight.

Surely there is a better actually welterweight fight out there for Berto.

Honestly, I think this would be a pretty boring fight, and I don't think Berto would have anything to gain by fighting Malignaggi.

Good to hear really.Save for the chance of watching Paulie go into his best 'Real housewives of New Jersey' tirads,I see no excitement to be had.

Same here

paulies always gonna struggle against heavy set guys ala:hatton and cotto that like to control the centre of the ring. It does throw the potential that paulie could expose berto on the outside and waltz his way to a 12round decision. But the more likely outcome is malignaggi feeling the force very early doors and berto taking a unanimous decision after 12.

Williams-cintron - no thanks, williams-martinez II YES PLEASE
