Berto looked very impressive tonight, winning every round doing it and earning the TKO. I think a fight with the winner of Judah-Clottey or a fight with Willimas would be interesting.
He looked good, but for the first time since I've started watching him, he didn't seem to have improved on his last fight. He has correctly any of his errors since the Trabant fight. Still a good win though.
Not impressed at all, bad fight for the sport fighting a bum and recieve a free title do not make him a top fighter for me he still a prospect.
As athletic as he is you would think he would use more movement. I suppose against the guys he has faced his handspeed is all he needs though. I'm looking forward to him stepping up, he said he is going for the top of the division. We'll see just how good he is then. No matter what I still think his speed is going to give everyone trouble.
Miki Rodriguez is not a bum. **** off. This was just a quick way to get the title back out there. Andre looked great, quick and hard puncher. I can't believe people on this site pimp Clottey when Berto does everything that Clottey does better. Do I think he beats Cotto, Marg, or Williams? Maybe not. Does he beat Quintana, Clottey, and the "now" version of Mosley? Maybe so, probably.
Thank you, Clottey is living off the 4 rounds against Margo. But who won the fight for the reamining 8?
Does anyone think Berto has any chance against the elite of the welterweight division (i.e. WBA champ Cotto, former IBF champ Margarito, WBO champ Williams)? I say he gets creamed...plus there should be a unification tournament of the WBA, WBC, IBF, and WBO titles to produce the heir to FLoyd Mayweather's welterweight championship reign.
Berto does do well with pressure right now, so Cotto and Margorito would murder him. I like his chances against Williams, but it'd be a tough tough fight.
Do you not understand giving free titles by fighthing top 100 fihters do not make him a top fighter, the abc titles need to put chalenges there not a good propect against a fighter with not a credible win a win a so called world titles know the wolrd titles are like a NABO NABF or fedelatin titles that are just gived away to prospect by fighting a fighter with 11 loses.
I was not impresssed and amd do not need anybody to make me clear my eyes i going to be impresed when he fights at least a real test. So you need to shut the **** of. I/m not you that jump quickly in to the nuts of fighters by figthing some bums.
Go **** yourself, why post on a boxing site if you can't be a fan of the sport. So you couldn't enjoy the fight because it was for a bull**** title? Get over yourself *******. I swear some of you guys don't even like the sport, you just like the damn "soap opera" politics and promoter drama.
First, you said you WERE NOT IMPRESSED!!!??? That is what initially sparked the WTF...but there was more. Fact is, Rodriguez is a very decent fighter (is he a world beater? NO...but a bum??? You seriously believe that??)...and tonight he lost every round (no idea how two judges saw him win one out of the first four???), got manhandled in every possible way and got STARCHED. Berto looked FAST AS HELL, his defense looked very good, he was VERY accurate (63% in power shots landed!?!?), he has worked on his shortcomings (backing up straight from the opponent being the main one), he showed a good chin vs a good puncher, and also showed above average power. If tonight didnt impress you...I really dont know what to say. And BTW, Rodrigez had 2 losses...not 11....where the hell you get that from???? And since when is the WBC a bull**** title???
