    who´d win this??

    after all, bertos win over estrada was an eliminator for the IBF........so this could be in the cards pretty soon.

    looks like a great fight, cause both have shown so pretty awesome performances but also have some flaws.

    both were kinda written off after unimpressive or (in cintrons case) somewhat cowardlike performances.

    both have come back with impressive wins over supertough david estrada.......cintron stopping him in ten and now berto stopping david in 11.

    I´d personally make cintron a slight favorite.

    what do you think??

    Berto is still taking too many clean shots to the head. More upper body movement and he needs to keep his hands up. Otherwise, Cintron will take his head off.

    I'd be confident in a Cintron KO personally.

    But I agree should be a very exciting fight.

    Cintron. I think his height & power are too much for Berto's lapsey defense.
    I think Cintron is the better boxer, but even if Berto dominates offensively, he leaves himself too open, and I would see Cintron doing a lot of damage.

    I'm taking Berto by stoppage.

    Yea I know he gets hit clean still. But he'll be in with power against Cintron and he knows it. Avoid the right hand at all costs.

    You have to keep in mind Estrada was giving Cintron hell until he was knocked out. Berto worked Estrada much better. Cintron is still a big target and he can't work around that. I see Berto's handspeed and power being a big factor here.

    yes, thats what im thinking. i think berto has the talent to win this, but really has to employ the boxing basics more as you have pointed out.

    berto needs to stop trying to look cool while fighting. that can backfire bigtime on him (see the fight were he got put on his ass).

    This will probably happen, and should as Berto has certainly earned a title shot. Cintron would make him earn it big time as Kermit would more than likely dominate Berto. It would be good to see. Few of Cinton's fights lack action, and I doubt this would be one them if it happened.

    Berto has an incredible offensive package though at times in the Estrada fight he was caught pretty clean, Kermit has a longer jab and is improving on understanding the science of distance. Kermit would only need on good offensive flurry to put Berto out and the chances of that happening are quite high. Kermit by brutal KO while losing on points.

    I agree, Berto would crumble under the pressure sort of like the Mets when the Phillies went on their late season surge.

    berto is especially suseptible to the left hand. cosmo knocked him down with it, estrada was taggin him with it too early in the fight. and cleanly i might add
