    Plenty of fighters act like they have won when they have clearly lost, basing anything on that is completely stupid. Boxers themselves are some of the most unobjective, agenda driven judges in the sport, exuding false confidence all the time when they clearly shouldn't be.

    It leads you to believe what you believe, not me.

    What fighters are you talking about, and how do you know they are acting:nut Berto acknowledged Collazo's effort, but he still thought he won. What's completely stupid is what you are saying about boxers. You don't have the mentality of a fighter so I don't expect you to understand how they think.

    I had Lou up by two rounds at the end of the fight, it was close but it was clear Lou just had him beat when it came down to getting off your shots in combonations.

    Lou had it all last night, a little bit of boxing a little bit of fighting, some jabbing hit and dont get hit, he had some shoe shining working the latter, every bit of this sport you want to see in a fighter when he is fighting for the title.

    Berto just had low work rate and he just didnt seem to really be able to hold his ground he looked a bit weak to be honest but I thinkt hat is due to Collazo hurting him so much to the body.

    It was an awesome fight, and I honestly felt that it could go either way, After Berto pulled out that last round as he did... I really wasn't surprised to see him get the decision. I don't think that you could really call robbery either way. So many good, close rounds.... and so many times that the fight changed tides.

    you mean there was alot of back and forth! and that is true but Collazo had the much higher work rate, I mean much higher and his shots were nice short, acurate, I mean the speed on them I am still in aww of this fight, it was a great fight, but at the same time I cant say Berto really won,it just doesnt sound right to me....

    Nice generalisation, moron, because all fighters are clearly identical psychologically. There certainly isn't a HUGE wide variety of all sorts of people, that partake in boxing. And of course you know my personality so well, don't you? What a load of cliched horse ****, wake up to yourself. Some fighters are perfectly honest and are somewhat objective despite their unobjective position, others are stubborn as a mule and completely full of **** on any topic where they are involved. Some fighters believe what they say, others are a big facade as thats what the sport encourages. Good for Berto if he thinks he won, most fighters do when they win or lose a close fight, but it means absolutely nothing.

    Body language is terrible to use IMO

    Kassim Ouma would raise his hands up at the end of every round vs Jermain Taylor

    was that an indication of Ouma winning the fight?

    Well on my scorcard he would've gotten a draw, and I was rooting for Collazo through out the fight just for being a Newyorican. :good

    I felt that Collazo won this fight by at least a round. I wouldnt even complain about a draw either. But to give it to berto was wrong. He did win the last two rounds which might have given him the edge by two judges, but that one judge who had it 116-111 for berto was obviously a homer. What fight was he watching. berto loses as soon as he steps up in class.
