    Collazo beat Berto. Mosely will knock Berto out.

    Berto has the tools to beat Shane, but I question if he has the heart and chin...I see Shane stopping Berto in knockout of the year fashion.

    He cod. He's the faster fighter at this stage of their careers, something Shane is not used to, and he does have a good jab.

    I think Mosley takes it on styles and on his seemingly manageable ring age. BUT Berto is any aging fighters nightmare with his physical gifts.

    I think Andre makes his stock go up early before melting down the stretch and losing a clear UD, probably see's canvas late.

    Wouldn't give him much chance at all, unless Mosley's age finally starts to catch up on him and he gets old in front of our eyes. The Mosley that fought Margo beats him.

    Like everyone else here who is sane and not an ass-hole I am of the opinion that unless Shane ages badly in this fight he will win. If he's on the same level he was when he fought Cotto, Callazo, or Margarito he will destroy Berto. Mayorga was a poor performance against a much heavier, stronger, awkward and negative fighter and I still thought Shane was clearly winning at the time of the KO. Berto has nothing in common with Mayorga, and Shane is better at 147 and better with Nazim in his corner. He also seems hungrier and more determined now than he has in a long time to cement his legacy. Berto is chinny has bad defense, Shane is a powerful, fast, accurate puncher, he is also a smarter, better and more experienced boxer. I think Berto might have his moments early by Mosley will put him down hard a couple of times and end it after dominating for a few rounds.

    If Mosley is still Mosley then the only thing Berto has to look forward to is a trip to the hospital after the fight because he's getting KOed for sure.

    Now if Shane gets old over night then anything is possible.

    It's always a little dodgy trying to predict fights when you have an older fighter in the mix because you just never know when he's going to hit that wall.

    I cannot see this happening.
    I jus believe Berto is waay out of his depth in this fight.
    Shane will take him out late in the fight imo

    I just hope Mosley is gonna train hard.
    Not that "I've fought hundreds of fighters like Miguel Cotto, I'm gonna sit around and teach my son a little bit of boxing"-training

    Mosley can be outboxed.He hasnt really looked good for a lot of fights except the Margarito fight.Even Mayorga pumelled him for 12 rounds then he won in the last second.Berto's a bit smarter than that and anything can happen

    You are not the only one even tho I am pushing for Shane and so that that Sugar Shane-Money Mayweather happens still. Berto has immense skill and lightning handspeed to make Shane's age tell but will he take it and step against the storm... I seriously doubt he will.

    That's one of the dumbest things I've seen written on the general forum. And that's saying a lot.

    It's a possibility and the time is right.

    But after watching recent performances I dn't think so.
