    Porter's going to mug him and brawl him on the inside. I think it goes the distance and Porter wins somewhat comfortably but Berto will clip some rounds. Berto is often in tremendous fights and I think we could have a really entertaining one but as Russell posted, also a chance of an ugly battle (if you don't like inside fighting).

    Base in activity and chin favors Porter but Berto carries a very explosive uppercut probably one of the best both guys are easy to hit I think Porter is more durable.

    I'm hoping for KO6 repeat with Berto landing a massive right upper on Porter jumping in. That would be sweet.

    That right uppercut is quick and brutal!

    I think Porter will win and I'm rooting for him. Nothing against Berto, but I have always liked Porter.

    Porter's style is so ugly. He's had 2 fun fights, Thurman and an overmatched Malinaggi. The rest of his fights are awful to watch. He should have been a rugby or football player.

    Its possible, but the Broner shot was more of a balance shot than him being seriously hurt, IMO Porter came back to steal that round as well. So there's no guaranteeing Berto would win a round he lucks out and get a KD in.:lol:

    Broner dropped Porter with an uppercut and that's one of Berto's best punches. I think that Porter takes it but Berto has a shot.

    I thought faded Julio Diaz beat Porter in the first fight.

    I wouldn't depend on one punch defining a fights outcome.

    Obviously Porter is the heavy favorite. I don't think anyone is denying this.

    It's going to be entertaining and dangerous early for Porter.
    I agree porter can get countered lunging in and that uppercut of Berto is vicious.
    But I think Berto is too shopworn for this fight. As the fight went on Berto skinny legs won't be able to hold Porter assault.
    But it will be great if Berto can at least land one big one to make it competitive.
