    Berto was losing that fight.

    Clearly lost round 1, 4, 5 3 and 4 were close and coulda gone eitherway.

    Berto was lucky the refs stopped it. Zavek was landing clean punches and berto was going wild landing on mostly glove.

    Didnt look impressive to me. Same berto hbo keeps shoving down our throats.

    Berto was winning IMO... wasn't he sweeping on Harolds card?

    I couldnt say for a fact but that sounds about right to me. Berto clearly lost 1, 4, and 5 unless your scoring by the calzaghie system where punching glove and air is a scoring blow.

    berto woulda punched himself out by round 8. he was just swinging mid level and hitting the slovenians gloves

    Berto wasn't landing cleanly, but he was throwing more and getting his punches in. Not all the time. While Zaveck landed clean shots through the fight but they came in spots. Like every 30 seconds he'd land a good 1-2 cleanly, then it'd be Berto throwing combos.

    Berto landed quite a few good body shots through the rounds as well. You can't say he wasn't landing as Zaveck face was being busted up. Even before the suppose "head butt"

    Not at all. It was one of the worst displays of footwork and inside defense that I've ever seen from a former title holder.

    It is definitely time for Andre Berto vs Mike Jones...Berto is my boy but i like Jones to out-box him..maybe even stop Berto late...

    "same ole Berto" has worked out pretty well up to this point. There are 3-4 guys on earth who beat him, I'd say that's pretty decent.

    If he continues to fight good competition then there's going to be more than 3-4 guys on earth that beat him. Callazo beat him, Zaveck was looking to me like he was on his way to beat him (I seen Berto tiring, and Zaveck was still there looking strong as hell), Ortiz moved up to beat him. Really what good WW does Berto beat at this point? Paul Williams spanks him even as bad as he looked last time (if Pwill can make 147), Margarito beats him, Mosley might be a decent fight for both, Mayweather and Pac of course put the hurt on Berto, I think Clottey could come back and win back over his fans by making Berto look like a fool.

    Yup, same ole' Berto indeed. No regard to defense and just exposing himself to being KTFO. He got hit with about 30 hard, flush shots. Doesn't that say it ALL? When a supposed elite fighter gets hit with that many hard, flush shots in 6 rounds, you got serious issues.

    Its a lot of If´s and hating going on here.
    Berto beat him and you could see the affects the left hook had on Zavecs body.
