    From Dan Rafael's Twitter :

    Not a bad fight, imo, especially since Berto is coming back from a loss. But I still don't think it's a strong enough main event to stand alone as a one fight telecast. So hopefully if it comes together, it's packaged with a decent co-feature.

    good fight if floyd beats ortiz and berto has a belt then they can get a rematch on, I also want to see kell brook and mike jones get involved in the top. either of them vs senchenko is good.

    good fight I think, a win for berto gets him right back on track. if zaveck wins, well, not sure

    Don't know much about Zaveck but I doubt this is a big enough fight for a one fight telecast... But then again HBO loves them some Berto. Hoping for at least one decent televised undercard to go with this, but I won't complain...

    This fight should've happened when both guys had their titles as a step towards unification, but I'm guessing HBO didn't relish the idea of another unknown foreigner coming in and screwing their plans up by springing the upset.

    Still a good fight I'm interested to see though, so better late then never.

    Zaveck could really put the pressure on Berto like Ortiz did. Interesting fight.

    This fight is a natural and the best that can be made outside of Pac-Mayweather-Ortiz. Berto win would be good for an Ortiz rematch, Zaveck win would be a good hype buster and would put things in the division into proper perspective.

    This is just great if it indeed happens. Zaveck could win. This is his lifetime opportunity to show that he is among the best.
