    Berto wins with handspeed and it would look like the Hatton/Urango fight without the molestation...

    That punch also broke Ngodjo's jaw.:bbb

    I think Berto probably wins a decision, but I'd love to see Urango knock his ass out.

    Lame ass fight man. :verysad They're clearly throwing Berto an easy one after the Collazo fight so they put him in there with a name fighter who's slower, smaller, and will provide little resistance. Berto by wide UD. Urango should stick to fighting jr. welters.. this is not a good career move by him.

    Berto has the speed advantage and i dont know if moving up will suit Urango well but i would love to see Urango stop Berto therefore im going for Urango by stoppage. (Unlikely but hey WTF)

    I wouldn't write it off so quickly. Berto has a tendency to mix it up when he should box, and Urango is very good at cutting off the ring, and probably immediately becomes the hardest puncher at 147 in moving up.

    That's not something that anyone can ever claim ahead of time. There are plenty examples of guys who have lost a significant advantage in power by moving up just a single weight division.. and when you have a guy like Urango who relies mostly in his power and strength, moving up can be a death sentence to his career. Bad, bad move by Urango IMO.

    When has that been the case for someone built like Urango? And with Cintron moved up to 154, exactly who at 147 do you think it a harder puncher? He won't be any LESS strong than he was at 140, and I'd venture that Urango at 140 is a harder puncher than all but a few guys south of 160. He's a much smaller guy, but him and Kirkland probably have similar one-punch power.

    140 to 147 is a huge jump; Ricky Hatton basically claims that it turns him into a midget sloth. Berto weighs 160+ on fight night and is very fast, he should be able to dispose of a crude junior welter with ease if he's any type of champion.

    im picking berto by UD, too fast for urango, he'll probably just potshot urango the whole fight

    :lol: Geez man you clearly have no clue how weight affects a fighter. It don't matter how he's built, there are plenty of great punchers who are reduced to good or slightly better than average punchers once they move up in weight. Will this be the case with Urango? Who knows, definitely not you... and no, Urango himself won't be any less strong moving up in weight, but many of his opponents at welterweight will be stronger than him... and your whole Kirkland comparison is just absurd.
