vote and discuss I thought Caballero looked better than I expected, Berto a little worse. But Berto was in with more reputable opposition.
Berto is better... Caballero has bad punching technique and is at too low of a weight for his height. His power sucks too. If Caballero moved up and fought people his own size he would get starched. Can't say the same for Berto since he holds his own against bigger men.
definately caballero, the guys doesn't stop punching, Berto last 3 fights been disapointing, i'm still not convinced he is a future p4p either
Caballero for sure... I don't care what anyone says this is almost incomparable. Caballero is arguably the best if not the top 3, 122 fighter in the world bar none... He is also one of the best featherweight fighters in the world, easily in the top 6.. Berto is maybe cracking the top 5 at welterweight... only one division, and I'm pushing it by saying that..
Who would vote for Berto, either before or after? Caballero has fought and beaten infinitely better competition than Berto has ever faced.
I would not base lb4lb based on comp . . . it is a very tough call. I like both guys . . . to close to call.
From what I saw tonight, Caballero doesnt have much power if you are throwing that much body shots and you can't stop a guy. Caballero's form isn't that great either he throws a lot of swats but he does move up and down and from different angles so he does have that going for him. Berto has got the speed with the strength. Caballero is not a p4p, I think he might have trouble moving up in weight with stiffer opposition.
the right to the body is often less effective than the left to the body. Where Caba was hitting, there are no sensitive organs. Although he did reach back for the kidney a few times, in general he wasn't hittting the ribs, the stomach, the liver, or anything critical.
Irregardlessly when you say p4p I think of boxers with a great mix of all round attributes, like speed/power/footwork/ring generalship. Something that should translate to all weight classes. Caballero has decent speed nothing crazy, it seemed lackluster power, decent footwork but excellent ring generalship. I don't think Berto is that great of a p4per but I do think he is better than Cab
This was my first time seeing Berto and I was.....disappointed. But I see some promise there. He's a bit like Mosley ten years ago if Mosley had no skill.
