    I for one was not to impressed. He was getting hit too much in my opinion. He still has a lot of work to do before he gets in with the top WW.

    I was actually impressed by Berto. Forbes is not an easy guy to hit and Berto hit him clean with a lot of shots, including opening a cut. Berto's stamina was also impressive. Between the two, I actually thought Berto looked better against Forbes than Oscar.

    He should fight Judah. If not, fight another champ at WW. Why do we still test a champ? They're champs right?!

    He looked good but he needs to improve his defense a little bit more.

    Impressed, he got the job done. Forbes isn't a fighter that you would look good against and he proved it against a far bigger man in DLH.

    Berto-Cintron? They're saying Berto-Collazo is next though. Good fight. Collazo is a logical step up from Forbes.

    I thought Berto did well with the cagey veteran Forbes. He's ready to start stepping up his competition. He needs to fight one of the other belt holders.

    He looked his usual.

    But someone put it well his last fight...he is a COMPLETE sucker for feints.

    And he gave a lot of respect to a small puncher today. To be honest, Berto's style rubs me the wrong way.

    I thought he looked pretty good after a couple of rounds he needs to calm down a bit this was a good fight for him I don't see him going up against Margo or Williams yet he needs another year IMO

    i missed most of the fight tonight but was he falling for feints again tonight?

    I started watching in the 11th and it seems from the commentators that Berto was well ahead, and he took the last 2 clearly with his combination punching

    Can't make a good assessment on Berto since his opponent was a limited one at this weight. I have to wait and see him against Collazo.

    Berto needs to stop ****ing head hunting. He irritates the **** out of me doing so. He is a good body puncher. He gets away with dropping right hands like a madman b/c of his speed. But once he realizes he doesnt have the power to knockout tough welters with one punch, he will be a force. He also needs to learn to use his stature to ****ing fight on the inside...god damn he irritates me.
