    They are fighting on the Mosley v Mayorga Undercard. Who takes this and Why?

    I'll take Berto by decision.

    I fear this might be a bit of a snoozer, and the styles will cancel each other out. Berto is physically stronger, and has more dynamite in those punches which will back Forbes up and give the impression he's the boss. He'll take it comfortably on points.

    I don't see Berto backing Forbes up - he has fought a selection of chinless wonders and past their prime fighters thus far. Forbes looked decent against DLH and at WW would give Berto a decent going over.

    Whether he would be able to outslick him I am not sure - Berto does appear cumbersome at times, and though Forbes isn't a puncher might be able to back Berto up a touch.

    Probably a close but clear UD for Berto - but I would be rooting for Forbes.

    Berto by decision. I fancy Forbes chin to hold up. This could be very close though.

    Berto's going to take it Forbes' body. I wouldn't be surprised to see this fight stopped with Forbes on one knee or stoppage by Forbes' corner.

    Berto will murder Forbes and put Oscars pathetic performance against Steve in perpective.

    Berto probablly takes this but it wont be easy I see Forbes winning 3 or 4 rounds Bertos going to have difficulties with Forbes style. IMO Forbes is the best fighter Berto has ever fought but that said ill be suprised to see Forbes win although not shocked.

    A crapy boxing card... Mosley vs. Mayorga is a miss-match and so is Berto vs. Forbes. I at least am not exchited at all.
