    Next week week this one... Should be a good one... And the stakes are quite high... The loser is out of the picture at least and the winner might be real close to a big fight.

    I was shocked to see the odds. Andre Berto is actually a big favourite against Lopez. WTF? I think that Lopez should be a favourite or it is ar leasr a 50-50 fight.

    Lopez fought a great fight against Maidanain -13 and has three wins since. Berto was knocked down tice by non-puncher Guerrero, stopped against journeyman Karass and has one win after that... And it was not an impessive performance by Berto.

    I think that Lopez will outbox and beat up Berto... And Im gonna make some money with it... Bettering 100 dollars on Lopez gives me 450 dollars! That just crazy!

    I'll be there live!! I think lopez may have a chance depending on what berto shows up... an injured berto, lopez wins it.. a healthy berto he should be able to get a late stoppage... we will see... POrter vs Garcia is a hell of a fight as well.

    Both shot fighter. Berto look useless in recent fight whilst Lopez is gutsy but lack fire power. I think loser have nowhere to go.

    When was the last time Berto dominated an opponent?

    Given their recent performances I have to lean with Lopez!!!

    I cant see Berto really dominating the fight. I can see Berto landing some nice over-righthands, hurting and even knocking Lopez out with them... But I just can´t see him really dominating the fight.

    Lopez will outbox Berto early... Can Berto turn it around with power shots or will Lopez punish Berto the way Karass did in the end of their fight.

    I don't know what Lopez turns up. He has looked very pedestrian lately.

    At his best i pick Lopez.

    This is a tough fight to predict, Berto looked pedestrian against Upsher in his last fight. But it was his first fight back after over a year off and his shoulder injury.
    But Josesito looked even worse against Cobos which is a fight many missed, he looked like warmed over whale s*** and lacked initiative, especially after looking decent in stopping Aaron Martinez a month or two earlier.

    Hill's version of Berto may pull off a UD, however if Josesito comes prepared he may drop him and possibly stop him. It all depends on which Berto and Josesito shows up.

    Polls with no end dates are my biggest forum pet-peeve. :twisted:

    Fortunately there was already one made on this. (by me :D)

    Pick'em fight for me.

    Voted Berto by stoppage because of hope and bias.

    Though, the 180 degree scenario is equally as likely.

    I reckon they will have the winner fight similar club level fighter Broner.

    In fact, the winner might beat Broner so more likely the loser.

    I think the winner should face Guerrero and the loser could possibly see Molina.
    Guerrero is obviously a name fighter and it would be a good comeback fight.
    A Berto Guerrero rematch would be enticing.

    :good

    Ghost vs. Josesito wouldn't be too shabby, either.

    They're all w/ Haymon too so those match-ups could easily be put on any PBC card.
