    Guerrero's the better boxer, but Berto could just steamroll him. It's hard to say, roidless Berto? Really is a tough one to call.
     

  2. Without the drugs Berto will get beat.

    I see Guerrero walking away with comfortable UD.

    I'm not in the belief that taking roids makes you superman. In fact, Berto still gassed out in fights regardless of what he took, same with James Toney. I don't see where it showed in the ring.

    Berto is explosive with one or two shots, then takes a break for 30 sec. Guerrero's punch output would be too much for Berto.

    Consistency is how Guerrero can win the fight. Berto tends to fight in spurts and explode, and be mentally off at other times in a fight. He also gasses regularly, too much bulky muscle to feed oxygen to perhaps.

    But he does have the power to hurt RG, and that is dangerous. If RG works behind the southpaw jab and can keep the infighting to a minimum I can see him boxing his way to a UD.

    I see it as a pick em fight. With Berto coming off inactivity, we don't really know where he's at right now. He certainly can beat RG without question, and I do believe RG would be better served in the 140 division right now, there is still very feasible ways for both guys to win this fight. Given the fact they have both proven to be top fighters and warriors in the ring, it should make for an interesting fight, maybe even a fight of the year type war. At least us junkies can hope.

    Berto is a big welter with power. But he is not consistent and only fires in sudden bursts, not to mention he is coming off a big lay off. Guerrero is the better boxer and maintains his activity level.

    Unless Guerrero can get some respect with his shots, he will get pummeled. I imagine it will take Berto some rounds to get his timing, this is where Robert needs to take advantage. I can't see Robert stopping Berto, but it's easy to see a big shot by Berto putting Robert down.

    Should be a good fight. I favor Berto, but there are some questions as far as how rusty will Andre be and in what condition will he be in.
