Berto to pinch hit for Margarito?

To me he seems to be like Freitas in that area. Its seems that as his level of comp goes up his power goes down. I know that is the case with all fighters but with Berto its starting abit early. Rivera is an example. here is a guy that was waxed by Judah who was a smaller fighter then Berto...Rivera seemed to be hurt by every shot from judah, but had little problem with Berto's power, in fact Rivera seemed like his was the bigger puncher in that fight and fought as if he was. Its small things like that which most people miss. Rivera didnt seem to have much respect for what Berto was throwing and was really trying to walk him down. It was the handspeed that saved Berto in that fight, not power.

 

I like this fight for Berto. It's about time that he steps-up.

 

I thought this fight was in the works for a long time, esp when Berto fought on the Mosley undercard last time
