    I think he has a chance....but if Hatton can outbox him, I think Berto definitely can.....Urango is a very muscular guy for 140 and I think he'll be even stronger at 147 but he's slow and can be outboxed. Chin and power advantage goes to Urango but boxing ability and hand speed goes to Berto. I see Berto getting knocked down early in this fight and coming back to win a split decision.

    P.S. Collazo got robbed!

    This is going to be a boring fight. Urango for all his power if very boring to watch. He loads up these shots that you can see from miles away. Berto wins an easy UD with out risking to much.

    Urango could catch him cold but I'd to think Berto won't allow that to happen after facing a fellow south paw who troubled him on the inside. Urango has much heavier hands than Collazo so if he connects with one of his sledgehammer right hooks then Berto could very well end up like Hatton. The problem for Urango is that his punches are wide and he needs to be on the inside to do optimal damage and I envision Berto doing most of his work on the outside.

    I got Berto by UD.

    I cant stand Berto and after the Collazo robbery and no rematch Im just hoping he gets KTFO....but remember its Urango a guy who not too long ago let a guy like Ricky Hatton hold on for dear life and win a decision while boring the **** out of me. I dont expect much I just hope Urango gets lucky.

    I'm rooting for the slow Urango to land a fight ending brutal lucky punch...

    He has the puncher's chance, but you guys gotta understand that between the two Collazo fights, Team Berto wanted to fight a name opponent with an extremely suitable style for Andre, which is Urango. The guy has huge raw power but so slower and limited compared Berto it's hard to see him winning rounds. He's terrorizing LWWs with physical strength, but even Hatton, who's limited as a boxer, easily outboxed him. At WW, Urango is just a small puncher with no physical advantages. Berto, who came down from MW, will have no problems outboxing Urango silly, and that's why Urango was picked.

    I don't want to discredit the opponent selection, because it's still a good fight and can be as exctiting as a one-sided fight possibly can. Also, with Urango, puncher's chance is really good chance. But it's still very smart opponent selection.

    No, perfect opportunity for Berto to look spectacular. Urango is way to slow.

    Think someone like Zab Judah would KO Berto, though.

    If Berto uses his speed and employs some lateral movement, Urango won't win.
    His only chance is to force Berto into some exchanges - he's definitely got the power to trouble Berto - even ko him.
    This shouldn't happen though - he's too plodding and he loads up on his punches too much.
    Berto UD.

    Im expecting Urango to win this quite convincingly. I dont even like Urango.

    I was not impressed by Berto's performance against Collazo. I had him losing by at least 2 rounds. He couldnt follow his gameplan and didnt utilise his advantages
