    I just can't see Forbes winning against someone like Berto who will clearly be the hardest hitting opponent that he's ever faced. Berto may even be the fastest that he's ever faced. For a naturally lighter fighter, who doesn't have any pop in his punches, and likes to fight inside, Berto is a nightmare matchup. The more I think about it, I'm starting to warm up the the idea that Forbes gets stopped for the first time.

    imo

    If Berto was a guy who liked to box from the outside and play it safe, Forbes might have a good chance but Berto fights with bad intentions. He lets his hands go and looks to hurt his opponents. It could get ugly.

    I can't see Forbes winning, but I think he'll put up a respectable show as usual. I doubt Berto is good enough to make a mug of Forbes, but I think he'[ll win comfortably.

    Berto is not that good but he's good enough to beat Forbes easy
