    It's a fight I just never even thought about but I'm really looking forward to this one. What does everyone think? Who are you picking?

    Oritz is cannon fodder for Berto.

    this is going to be another KO for Berto, Ortiz can't take his power, he'll wilt under pressure again.

    I'm thinking the same thing, that's why I'm pretty excited by it. Ortiz has the tools to beat Berto if his mind is in the right place. Collazo gave Berto the best fight he ever had, I'm sure Ortiz could do better on the right night.

    I can't wait for this fight. Both are talented young warriors with power on both fists with something to prove, it will be a good fight.

    IMO this fight can go either way but if I had to pick somebody, I would go with Berto on this one.

    Yeah I think Ortiz is very live in this one.. yeah he should be the underdog and could get KO'd.. but he has power... he has the tools to compete...

    It's still going to be a very exciting fight... two names competing.. whether people think its a mismatch or not... this is a matchup that you don't see often- two young names going at it.

    Honestly, I am looking forward to this MUCH more than I would've been 6-12 months ago had a genie told me it was going down.

    Ranking the HBO fights now through the 16th, individually:
    1- Berto vs. Ortiz
    2- Guerrero vs. Katsidis
    3- Maidana vs. Morales
    4- Gamboa vs. Solis
    5- Khan vs. McCloskey
    6- Malignaggi vs. Cotto
    7- Garcia vs. Remillard
    8- Kirkland vs. TBA

    This is typical. Its a joke of a match up, but because America know who Ortiz is, they think its a good match. A better match up would be Berto vs Jo Jo Dan but then America would say they dont know who that is so he must be a bum etc.
    Ortiz was beaten inside the distance by Maidana, could only get a draw with Peterson in his last fight and is now getting to challenge Berto at WW in a world title fight. Joke
