    Berto is going to have to impress better if he wants to make it to the next level.

    Given- he outclassed urango.... he still didn't dazzle me. He needed to throw 20% more and hold at least 60% less than he did. He held 6x a round at least.

    Berto wont be Mosely/cotto/pbf ready unless he can keep busy and really step up his game.

    Strong win though as he outclassed Urango.

    your thoughts?

    Based on the way his tariner kept telling him how to hold, I think it was part of the gameplan and it was an awful gameplan. Berto definitely has the physical tools to be an elite fighter, but he needs to be given a style that maximizes those tools. Someone with his speed should fight on the outside a lot more , and throw combinations, not hit and hold. I think he needs a new trainer.

    He has shown no improvment over his last 5 fights. He is what he is.

    His trainer and him were both concerned with Urangos power, thats why holding was in their gameplan, or at least lets hope that was the case

    Urango just looked happy to be there.
