    Berto is fast but he is NOT slick, he squares up far too much and he seems a tad fragile, yes Collozo is decent but he is kinda feather fisted, The only way Berto wins is if Mosleys gets older overnight, although he is already shopworn, Berto just hasn't shown enough to beat even this 38 yr old version of SSM.

    Berto is limited in skill and suspect in the chin dept. I expect Mosley to end it in 8

    Someone tell me, What's the latest news on this fight?
    I read somewhere that it hasn't even been signed yet.

    Berto is fast but his defense is not that good. Mosley will make him pay dearly for that.

    Berto's boxing skills are improving and although the idea of him being labeled "slick" maybe an unconscionable notion to some, he has shown signs that he is becoming much more adept in recognizing when and where the incoming fire is coming and then ad******g and resetting accordingly.

    As far as he speed goes, he has the fastest hands in boxing imo.

    Shane has never fought anyone faster than him:huh Forrest was definetly slick but not exactly a speed demon,same with WInky. So im not sure who you are referring to as slick and fast. I do think Berto is very fast maybe as fast or faster than shane,but he is not slick. Seems like your confused and cosider slick and fast the same thing.Even an old Forbes connected on Berto. I think this will be exciting while it lasts i always like watching 2 speed demons go at it but ill take Mosley by 5th round Ko I think Bertos chin is average at best and hes not slick like you say.

    I believe the starter is an idiot. But I also believe Berto has a good chance at an upset. I think he outworks Mosley in close fight. Shane shows his age. The fact that Collazo is a southpaw is what gave Berto so many problems.
