    After his solid 12 round UD win over Steve Forbes, it has been said that Berto will be looking to defend his WBC welterweight title against mandatory challenger Luis Collazo.

    With Berto's latest win, how do you see the fight shaping up to be and what will be the result. Vote and post comments...

    I see a Berto decision. Collazo is a crafty southpaw which could give Berto some confusion and fits but I don't think Collazo can hurt Andre. Berto would be smart to use his hand speed and pick his spots instead of constant pressure which would give Luis spots to counter at range. Luis is a lenghty southpaw with quality boxing skills and we'd be a solid next opponent for Berto.

    I think Berto wins a clear decision in a somewhat competitive fight.

    Hmmm I see people don't think much of Berto's KO power... :think
    Anyway I'd say Berto by KO/TKO.

    I think Berto's gonna win but he's gonna have alot of trouble while doing it. Collazo's no slouch at all.

    I know Collazo is a crafty fighter but without the power to hurt Berto, expect Andre to win a comfortable decision. It might take a couple rounds for Berto to figure Collazo out but once he does he'll settle in and operate. Berto's just too fast.

    Berto will take it .He seems to improve every time out. He also seems like a very determined young fighter who has a tremendous amount of desire and a great work ethnic to go along with his outstanding skills.
