Berto: "I will retire Shane Mosley"

^^ well, styles make fights. Berto has very fast hands and puts some very nice combinations together when he is on. And, from my understanding he's trained or sparred with Urango before, so he's probably well aware that Urango is strong as a mule and 1) has a near granite chin 2) heavy hands than can put the lights out. I just don't think some of these guys he's been fighting motivate him to be at his best. I think Mosley can definitely do that and he will come in really motivated, wanting to capitalize on the opportunity to make a name for himself.

 

Berto can box. He won't run into SSM the way Margarito did. I don't give Berto much of a chance of a KO, but he could get a decision if he puts on a great performance or SSM is lazy. Otherwise look for a late stoppage / UD for SSM.

 

I agree with you that Berto has the tools to give Shane problems, I just think that if the heat gets turned up on him he will resort to brawling which will fall right into Shane's plan. If Berto sticks to a disciplined gameplan and is able to execute then who knows what could happen? It's just hard for me to envision him doing so. Also, Brother Nazim may well be the best trainer in the world now which is another reason I tend to favour Mosely. It will be a fight of the year candidate though!

 

Too many people fogetting that Shane is getting on a bit, wont have fought for a year when he fights Berto and has blown hot and cold in the past.

Berto is a very skilled and fast fighter too so I would'nt be suprosed if he wins this fight.

 

Hmm, I actually think Berto's style is perfect for Mosley. Berto has a weak inside game, and he's not a slick boxer from the outside at all. I just see him going toe to toe with Mosley and getting outfought, and stopped.

 

I don't believe Berto can box and move for twelve rounds, and I believe Mosley is just flat better if they do go toe to toe.

Mosley KO10

If he retires it'll be on a high note (and because neither of the "big money" welterweights will fight him).

 

I agree with this.

 

Mosley will win

 

Ya know, Berto admitted to using steroids in the past as well....

 

Collazo beat Berto. Mosley will knock him out.

 

I don't know all the details I just heard Lampley talking about it during one of Berto's fights. It might have been during the Miguel Angel Gonzales fight when I heard Jim speaking on the matter but I'm not sure. If I'm wrong on this don't blame me blame Lamps for the misinformation. I'm just telling you what I've heard.
