    Definitely be a good test for Berto. In their with a slick southpaw who is a pretty good boxer. We should learn a lot bout Berto after this fight.

    There is some truth to what you say but it not entirely accurate. Berto's game plan is to look for openings and explode with power punches. He then stalls his attack and appears to be regrouping. You put it as him freezing into a half shoulder roll position which is true but it's also a bate tactic to draw his opponent in close enough to land his signature punch which is the right uppercut. He likes to set this punch up after throwing combinations then allowing his opponent to engage before throwing a setup hook and eventual uppercut.

    I would like to see Berto sustain his attack more and work off his quick jab. His also is quick enough to get in and out instead of stalling his attack and regrouping into the shoulder roll. He's still young and has much to learn but seems to get better with each fight. I look for him to put on a good showing against Collazo as he would represent Berto's signature win up to this stage of his career.
