i dont know why Ortiz is the underdog he won the first bout, yes he did embarrass himself and hurt his reputation in the Floyd fight but this is a different animal also Berto hardly dazzled vs Zavek who in my eyes stole the show (shame Zavek will probably never appear on US TV again) this is a strange fight odds wise both men went down, both were on the verge of being stopped at some point Ortiz to me fought the fight of his life that night and mentally was the best he has ever been, but can he do it again Berto early on fought a really dumb fight, in the second half he did much better as it slowed down Ortiz will bring the same fight he isnt very dynamic he just comes forward, now does Berto go to war or fight a smart fight if Berto does what he did later in the fight by moving, staying off the ropes and jabbing his likelihood of winning increases
Yes this. Even with all the skills and all the power in the world, you still can't count on him to hold together through stormy weather. Not worth wagering more than 20$ on him. He SHOULD win, he's just one of those guys you can't trust.
best bet is to just wait and watch the showtime camp fight series, which starts this weds, and make the call after seeing how both ortiz and berto look mentally and physically
good bet, Ortiz will win this, Berto showed zero improvement vs Zaveck, looked just as willing to mix it up and trade which will once again be his demise vs Ortiz. Ortiz by KO this time.
Great shout with the under. I've Ortiz down already, but the under is really good value here- If Berto is going to get him he'll get him early. An both bets win if Vic bangs him out. Nice one.
