    exposed. Berto was knocked down by a finished Quintana and lost 2-3 rounds to him before finishing him off. He had not fought more than one round in a year. He seems as if he is the new Jermian taylor. Lopez was getting all he could handle from Rafael Marquez after four wars with Vazquez. Previous fights give good indication of what will happen when a guy gets in with someone of a high class. Memo to Andre Ward fans: he looked pretty weak against Bika.

    For real, shut the **** up. Andre Berto was never hyped up to be anything other than a formidable champion, which he was. He defended his belt four times and lost his belt in an action packed fight, one who is a possible FOTY candidate.

    Exposed? More like exposed as the warrior he is.

    Maybe Berto made more money than he should of made during his stay as the WBC champion, but all the more credit to Al Haymon for that.

    He was exposed to be a pretty entertaining fighter to watch, and he'll be on my "must watch" list, champion or not.

    I agree with MrMagic.

    Shut the **** up. For reals.

    Everyone knew Berto was a good fighter but flawed and there was nothing special about him. The only thing was his handspeed and good power. People were waiting for him step it up.
    Non the less Ortiz was the underdog because he had looked horrible in his last fight plus the Maidana quittage. Ortiz fought his best fight and only lost 4 rounds.
