I expect Berto to smash Ortiz until he quits once again in the 2nd half of the bout. Berto against the likes of a Cintron or Clottey would be great. As would Berto vs Cotto or Margarito. Even Mike Jones could be interesting to me, as Jones will have massive physical advantages of 4-5 inches. Based on some of the bouts the likes of Ortiz & Berto have been facing on HBO WCB & BAD, im sure HBO will be fair to non Heymon/Golden Boy fighters like Rios.atschatsch
i love Kats he is by far and away my fave fighter but after watching the Acosta fight last night he is not winning this fight unfortunately.may even need a blood transfusion after.still be cheering for him though and my v-cash says i suck at picking fights.
if kat were to beat Rios he'd have to fight him right now while he stills has the edge experience wise. 18mths ago Rios was fighting blokes with losing records. and not long before that he was still fighting 8 rounders. all that said i dont see Kat beating any real top class fighters until he gets someone better than brendan smith in his corner (to be fair i have just watched diaz fight - that wrong split decision avoided him being shredded). smith is obvioiusly great in the gym. katsidis only ever enters the ring in top shape but smith lacks the abilty to "see" from the corner. its a totally different skill set.
