    Berto by wide UD like 117-111-118-110 or a late TKO after round 9.

    Berto too strong, too quick, too skilled. Quintana to inconsistent and ageing.

    I can not see Quintana winning a decision.

    Maybe a through knock out, but I won't be counting on it.

    Quintana is showing up as an opponent to collect a fat HBO paycheck. Bad News Berto will batter him

    Berto by wide decision, too much handspeed for Quintana.

    Quintana's a better fighter than he's given credit for, but I can't see him beating Berto. Berto's quickness and strength will give him the edge. That, and that he's HBO's boy. Quintana's only getting a decision win if he truly dominates, and I doubt he will.

    Berto should be able to use his speed to outwork Quintana to an easy UD.

    If Quintana can connect we might see a real fight. Berto always looks good, Collazo gave him fits though, and we all saw how tough Quintana looked against PW...the first time.

    This has to be considered the make it or break it for Quintana

    hmm i take Quintana, it will be a good fight, Quintana will have to concentrate from the off, and hopefully connect early on, dont let berto control the fight

    should be the making of a good fight

    Berto by decision, but I'm rooting for Quintana to stop his ass!

    I am a big fan of Quintana, a SEVERELY underrated fighter and an A-level guy IMO...he has awesome southpaw skills, and is just beautiful to watch...the definition of "effective fighting off the backfoot"...he's slick but extremely entertaining.

    However, I think Berto is all wrong for him. Speed kills and I see Berto winning a UD or late stoppage in this one, unless his mind is clearly out of it. It's tough to root against Berto, too, given all he's been through.

    I hope both guys go on to do bigger things, personally as they both have great styles.

    Berto by decision, Quintana is not given much credit. He has the talent to beat an overrated Berto, as he has fought much better comp. Berto has hand speed but he is there to hit unless he holds all night.

    I'm picking Berto, but just because I think Quintana will be weight drained. If Quintana can fight the same way he did against Williams and Julio, I think he can beat Berto by landing the cleaner, more effective punches. But if he's even a hair slower than usual, which I think he will be because of the weight, then I think Berto probably just overwhelms him.
