Sweet! Another berto/ortiz thread! Who do you think the ppl are gong to pick.......let's look at the other 40 threads and gather our thoghts shall we?
This is a cross roads fight. If either of them wants to be a big star they have to dispose of the other in style... more so for Ortiz, lose badly and i cant see more than maybe capturing an alphabet title off a weak champion. A win for either and they are looking at a big big money fight coming their way. I got Berto if he brings it, but curious about Ortiz, does he really want to be a star? Guess we'll find out.
Im curious to see if Ortiz can take a better punch @ 147? If so, Berto is going to find himself in a serious fight. I remember Cotto, who was another big Jr Welter having lots of problems with his punch resistance @ 140. When Cotto finally made the jump to 147 he was a beast, especially in his debut against Quintana. If Ortiz experiences the same effect, Victor has a great chance @ winning. I will hold my prediction untill after the weigh-in.
I'll go with Berto UD. And did Ortiz actually say Maidana's having nightmares about him? Wow, what a delusional jerk. It would be insulting if it weren't so ridiculously funny.
