HBO's card:
Andre Berto vs Vic Ortiz
Amir Khan vs Paul McCloskey
- Berto may be Manny Paq's next opponent if he wins and Paq defeats Mosely

Showtime's card:
Juan Manuel Lopez vs Orlando Salido
- A Lopez win might set up a superfight at the lighter weights against Yuriorkis Gamboa

Victor Ortiz is a very good fighter but I get so annoyed watching him fight sometimes. He was so close to demolishing Lamont Peterson a while back yet he decided to mess around and ended up with a draw instead of a wide decision win or a stoppage. He also fell apart against Maidana and quit and then considered retiring because he felt he didn't deserve to get beat up like that.

Berto is legit. Since Floyd May wont be fighting anytime soon, Berto would be the biggest threat to defeat Manny Paq right now, IMO (I don't think Sergio Martinez and Paq would ever fight due to the size difference. If they would, he'd be a legit threat to Paq as well).

well he hasn't exactly fought the best in the business. Luis Collazo whipped his a$$ a couple of years ago and ever since then I haven't been all that impressed with his opposition.


Berto's speed is incredible though. He brings it and is fun to watch.

do what?! Did you not see Collazo expose Berto and and beat him up? He was robbed in that fight.

Pacquiao would crush Berto.

In a big Berto guy, and can't wait for the fight. Im not really a fan of Khan, although he does have skills.

I think Berto poses a huge threat to Pac. He has as much if not more speed and is a legit matchup for anyone.

He'd be a threat to Paq. More so than anyone else in the division right now, IMO. Berto definitely did not look good against collazo, but I believe the judges had the correct decision.

Watching the Khan replay right now. I think Bradley would destroy Khan if they fought. Would love to see a Khan/Judah fight.

Berto has been measured


No fricking chin!!

Can't emphasize how rare truly elite fighters are.

I get caught up way too easy in alot of hype.

Here's to a comeback

Great round. Ortiz has skills, it's always been his heart that's been questioned. Let's see how Berto recovers...

Now Ortiz gets dropped....I'm curious to see if Ortiz now becomes hesitant or if he keeps up the aggressive pace.
