    First off 120 to 108 is outrageous tho Floyd did win.

    Second berto didn't look terrible and id like to see him in with Bradley, prodo, khan and the rest of that mix

    Berto looked to be in decent condition and didn't tire like I expected him to.

    Did he make any excuses? (He wouldn't stay in one place, that's why I didn't throw more punches"

    Berto is getting a lot of credit for giving an honest effort but he didn't really "look good" beyond that, he looked the same as always. Good heart, fast hands, poor defense, low ring IQ.

    Unlike #48 Berto made no shoulder injury excuses after the fight

    Put Berto in with Spence next. Spence will do what Floyd SHOULD HAVE done and put Berto away.

    i gave him 2 rounds, could have given 3. but i felt he did well, he was trying to make adjustments and mixing it up but his execution just was not good enough.

    full credit to him for giving his all and not just rocking up for the payday

    I had it 120-108, and if I pushed it to the limit, closest I could see it is 118-110. I don't get this perception that the fight was competitive, this was as one-sided as it gets.

    Berto did better than I thought he would, I was expecting a 4th RD KO by Floyd.

    Pac set the bar so low that a subsequent opponent who doesn't completely embarrass himself makes a good impression.
