    Berto doesnt have a lot of experience with southpaws, I think Collazo is gonna cause some problem for him. I think Collazo can pull it of to put his carrer back on track

    I think Collazo could give Berto problems and I hope he does. Just be sure to watch with the sound off so you dont hear Kellerman hyping Berto all night. Unless Berto gets the KO in which case the hype is well deserved.

    I'd love to see it happen. Collazo seems like a good guy.

    Couldn't disagree more. If Berto is able to get in close, he's gonna let his hands go and Collazo is gonna be overwhelmed like he was in the Mosley fight. Collazo's best option is to show as much movement as possible while pumping the jab. Berto doesn't know how to cut the ring off and he's a head hunter so I really believe Collazo can box him from the outside. Plus, Collazo isn't comfortable in-fighting; especially with someone stronger and faster than him.

    Interesting... we'll see how it plays out. An early lead would help Collazo out a ton.

    Berto looks very comfortable picking off shots at distance, especially with his arms and elbows. Forbes is slicker than Collazo and wasn't getting anything through after the first few rounds. Collazo can't let Berto get off with those big combos he likes to throw, even if they don't land the judges love them. I see sneaky shots from angles giving Berto more to think about than a jab from outside.

    One thing is for sure, Berto is no Mosley in the footwork department. Shane had Collazo completely confused where he'd be next. I'll be stunned if Berto can do that.
