Cotto will be looking for bigger things than a rematch will Clottey, and Berto has a belt, but is still not a mega star. This would be a good eliminator at 147
Berto sucks so bad, that I dont even think it would matter that Clottey is a choke artist. Clottey by UD. He'd stop Berto if he put his foot on the gas, but we all know he wont.
Based on what I have seen on Berto last 3 fight, Clottey can beat Berto. It's about time they stop treating Berto as a prospect. He is holding a belt. Time to face the music. As per Cotto, he won the fight but there many changes to be made. I said it before the fight. Team problems could destroy him. 8 weeks of training for Clottey??? He needs to do between 10 to 12 weeks. 8 weeks is OK when you are fighting Gomez or Jennings but Clottey is a tough mofo. I hope Santiago can convince Cotto to stop going backwards. I wont blame this on Santiago. Miguel Cotto can be very hard headed. It runs in the family.
It might be Berto just simply based on a higher volume of punches thrown in the rounds but Berto is garbage in my honest opinion and the reason I use the word garbage is because he fought like a big fanny against Urango with too much holding and clinching when he could of utilized his boxing skills in and out and faster speed advantage but yet he chose to fight like a big fanny.
Clottey for me. Berto has done nothing to convince me that he can compete with the elite. This is the sensible choice for Clottey's next fight and I guarantee Berto would take it if he was offered it. I give props to the guy for not shirking a challenge.
