    I don't know how anyone could score that fight for Berto. I question anyones professional integrity scoring the fight berto.

    Other than his defeat over Hlatshwayo, I really know nothing about Zaveck.

    TBH, I'd like to see Berto against someone like Clottey, Mike Jones, or Kell Brook; perhaps even Ayden, as IB has suggested.

    Rafael was counting how many hotdogs were on his plate and forgot he was supposed to be scoring a fight.

    Many fights are subjective and could go either way. This wasn't one of them. Berto lost.

    I personally don't care how fat Dan had the fight, his card doesn't count for ****. Nothing he does counts for ****. He writes his biased ass blogs and columns and we don't have to read them, but I'm sure most of us do because they are so f'ing bad its like watching a trainwreck, you can't look away. It does amaze me this guy is working for ESPN and getting to travel to all these fights, I hope they give him first class seats because I would hate to have to sit next to that tub in coach. But at the end of the day his card is written on a hot dog wrapper and doesn't mean any more than mine, I had Ortiz 115-110, means as much as fat Dan's, nothing. The real judges got it right and the right man one.

    The worst thing is his notebook, which if you notice is simply a rehash of the weeks press releases issued by the various promotional companies.

    JoJo was able to last the distance (and win, if we're being honest).

    Berto wouldn't. :deal

    We all had that feeling and breathed that sigh in unison, I think.

    (except fat Dan).

    in Ron Borges' article on the fight, he said the Boston Herald had it 113-112 for Berto.

    I would like to apologize on behalf of the people of greater Boston.

    ...although the Herald is a lousy neocon rag with no credibility or publication standars whatsoever.

    I've heard that after the fight fat Dan and Marley went on a double date with Mayweather and Ellerbee. That is why Floyd was at the fight. I have NO idea how these rumors get started.... :lol:
