    I have to say, I have never been a Berto fan. I thought the guy was a KO waiting to happen with his leaky defense.

    But, he ****ed that guy up. That was a beautiful punch and he is very accurate and quite fast.

    Did he impress you guys or you just think his opponent wasnt up to the task?

    No. Pac would knock him out! Pac might fight Berto, but Berto does not want to fight him.

    He didn't get hit and he certainly hit the **** out of the other guy, so yeah i guess.

    Not really. I mean it was a guy who had been beaten by Golden Johnson.

    it was just a tune up. He did what he was supposed to do.

    Pac has amazing foot work. Berto won't be able to keep up even with his fast hands.

    I had an onesided fight. They were talking crap about Berto before the fight saying he would get ridiculed if it's close or a UD, but he sure did impress me. I know he was fighting a bum, but an one round knock out is good against anybody

    Im never impressed with Berto, tonight proves nothing because he didnt get hit. But everytime he got hit, even by not known punchers, hes either hurt or goes down.

    Pac has better movement, id say berto is as fast as pac though or maybe even a slight edge imo.

    Yeah true but the guy he was fighting was there to get hit anyway. Not even throwing a jab. He was just covering up.

    Very much so, didn't expect that at all. Hernandez isn't a bum, he is a solid fighter, but defo didn't see him getting KO'd with one punch in the first round.

    Yeah he showed great adversity and the stamina to go 12 rounds.

    Also the talks about his questionable chin should be layed to rest since he was never hurt tonight.

    I don't have any appreciation for Berto but he's produced some impressively athletic maneuvers against his C and D class opponents. At least he's been able to do things in a bit of style. That said his one punch knockout in the first round means **** to me in terms of how he can perform in this noble artform called boxing. Can he pull that **** on the better guys out there? **** no. It means nothing. Great. He murdered a busboy.

    Of course. You have to be impressed with a performance like that.
