Andre Berto took a SERIOUS step backwards tonight...

so much for "Berto would kill Cotto" **** from a lot of people...Cotto would wreck him.

 

I think all young fighters need a wake up call like this. If anything, he learned a lot from this fight. And is heading in the right direction. That is if he is able to fix the flaws in his game.

 

Who knows. A lot of AT'greats have fights in their resume that don't add up.

 

I don't think he took a step back. That depends on where you had him rated. If you had him rated as a prospect with lots of potential like I did, I saw it as him learning something new. Fighting a decent veteran in your first big fight....he did ok.

He needs to work on defense and not leaving himself open when he throws. He needs to work on going to the body. He also seems to have trouble with his footwork and needs to cut off the ring better....I don't think he can fight well going backwards.

But he is a prospect. He shouldn't be fighting the top guys for another couple of years. Remember, Rivera just had a split decision with another highly rated prospect in Julio.

 

Who was saying that? Crazy! Even had Berto stopped Rivera in round one, I'd bet my house on Cotto. Miguel Cotto is a wrecking machine, and it's going to take a hell of a lot of talent to stop him (ie Mayweather).

 

I can't remember the names off the top off of my head but I do remember that from some people.

 

Capfunds. Oh I cant wait til he posts on this board again. :yep

 

Bert is a prospect. WTF did some of you expect?

 

:thumbsup

 

So?:yep

Linares was a prospect and he ****in raped Larios.:smoke

 

Berto doesn't have Linares's poise.

 

Berto would stop Matthysse.

 

Actually Berto took a giant step forward today, he learned more in this fight than all his previous fights combined.

 

He learned he has a **** load of flaws to work out.
