I think Berto is a KO waiting to happen. He has only fought one top 10 guy and got a controversial decision - I had Collazo winning.... close fight but not a robbery. Mosley isn't as awkward as Collazo but is probably a worse style matchup.... faster, higher workrate, more power. He is clunky, doesn't hit that hard and likes to take a breather during a round. Berto = easy night for Shane.
Berto hasn't really impressed me too much yet. I like his speed, angles and combinations. I think he's too green to take on Shane yet and his people know this. The potential is there though. On topic, Cintron will get eatin alive at 47. Yes shields trained Forrest too but Mosley didn't have Richardson either. Mosley by KO.
I dont rate rate Shields as a trainer and it wont make a blind bit of diffrence with Cintron in the other corner. As soon as Cintron eats leather he wilts.
Cintron has the skills to trouble Shane. Cintron don't have the best of skills but he does have skills. Cintron is tall just like Forrest and Wright were against Mosley. You say Forrest did not caused problem with the jab on Mosley, it was his length and his right hand? Well that i disagree cause i watch both fights. Mostly the first fight when Forrest keep using his left jab on Mosley follow by the straight right hands that Mosley can't get away with. Cintron not only has the jab to trouble Mosley but Cintron also has the length and Cintron favorite money punch the straight right hand. This fight won't be easy for Mosley.
this would e a much closer fight than most would assume. i would think that cintron would have a huge shot if his conditioning is right
anyone who says that cintron has even a slight chance at beating mosley needs their head examined. :-(
Mosley imo deserves a better opponent.... If Mosley isnt fighting Mayweather, Pac, Cotto, it should be eather Berto (always good to take a prospects 0 away) or even Clottey would be a big risk vs not so high reward but that would be as low as id go for mosley... both are good fights though. Not interested in Cintron.
