it will be tougher for ortiz ortiz decision in a disappointing fight i personally think he is done with berto and should be moving forward
I think Ortiz wins by KO/TKO this time... He gained so much experience and confidence from the first fight... Sky's the limit for this Kid!
I think both of them should move on to other opponents. I'm sure Berto would like to avenge his L, but he could lose again. It wasn't a questionable or debatable decision so I believe they should move on. But hey, it's not up to me.
What sources? Im going with Ortiz again. The only way Berto has a chance is if he improves immensely. That is not going to happen in a short amountbof time.
Berto only as 1 L and Vic the Brick only has 2 L's so they both really helped their stock from their fight, even Berto with his L.
I agree. the fight had so many factors contributing to an ortiz victory last time out. Berto chose to exchange and lost his legs from the first round. He didn't box and was was waitingfor that 1 big shot. ortiz had so much motivation going into the fight and u get a sense from the berto camp that this was suppose to be an easy stay busy fight. I don't expect te rematch to be as explosive but still entertaining. 50/50 fight with no kds.
Berto should be able to win this time. I think he will have a better game plan than go toe to toe with ortiz. I expect him to boxed and win on points.
IF Berto shows he can box and not be drawn in a slugfest, he might eke out a close but clear victory. Ortiz was the one who had to prove something in the first fight, now it's Berto's turn. Either way I think it will be a tough battle that will raise their profile further as the new generation of WW champs
I would be slightly pissed if there was a rematch just because Ortiz took his "0". Where the hell is Collazo's rematch? Oh, is that because Collazo didn't take his "0" on paper? Ortiz is a smarter boxer that Berto and Berto is a brute. If Ortiz avoids many of those big shots and outboxes him aggressively then he could win this again. Another option he could do is what he did the first time and best him in infighting as Berto sucks at inside fighting. Ortiz showed his heart and will have a mental advantage in a rematch. I see Ortiz taking the W again as Berto knows he would lose FIGHTING that's why he elected to HOLD so much in the later rounds. Hopefully there will be a better ref if there is a rematch but both men brought a great fight the first time(mainly Ortiz).
Ortiz by stoppage. Berto took a beating in that fight, and against a noticeably bigger fighter. Berto looked like the 140lb fighter moving up and Ortiz looked like the natural WW. Same way I think Margarito stops Cotto again, I think Ortiz beats Berto again. 2/3 of the battle is psychological.
