    i agree with that too!

    i saw berto double up from these body shots that urango threw at lest twice. other then that it was berto pot shoting to win convincingly. urango is one tuff guy. he dident even show much any signs of the 200 punches that landed on his face (no cuts, little swelling, blemishes etc.) and i can see his strong back giving alot of leverage to hooking or shoveling shots like you said.

    I've seen the ****ing Collazo fight you tit. Do you think I'm an idiot or something? If he was completely clueless on the inside, then he wouldn't have been able to fight effectively on the inside against Bravo, Figueroa, etc., and he did. The point is that he didn't STOP doing that until he got dropped by Rivera. He's AFRAID to let his hands go on the inside now because he thinks he might get caught there. The reason he looks clueless now is because tying up doesn't come naturally to him and he needs to think about how to do it. His instinct is still to punch back, but now he knows better.

    He was trying to fight smart but too much holding will (and already has) cost him some points.

    Because he didn't want to get hit with big shots, Urango could land big shots on the inside as that was his best place of landing, and despite the excessive holding going on, Berto fought a good fight and did what he had to do to win, including the excessive holding.
