    Hey guys,

    In light of the horiffic earthquake that struck Haiti, Berto now has a built-in excuse if he loses to Mosley. You know how boxers are famous for making excuses when they lose and/or give a sub-par performance. Berto now has no pressure to win or perform well and can always say that he was mentally distracted due to the earthquake and losing family members. It will be interesting to see if Berto performs better or worse given the circumstances. Do you guys think this will help or hurt him come January 30th against Mosley?

    Or he can do like Pacquiao did with the Typhoons and win big.























    Mosley by KO.

    true Douglas's loss of his mother (right?) only made him so much more focused. Showed.

    I still say Berto by KO:hey

    He is prepared physically. Let's hope mentally, he is ok.

    If Berto was able to be the first one to KO Mosley, then props to him. I don't see it happening though.

    Mosley wins by TKO. Best wishes to Berto though and much respect if he is focused enough to bring it.

    Excuses are excuses. Anyone can have them and they never sound good.

    I would like to see Berto win, although I am a Mosely fan. Its a tall order for both guys to win impressively if you ask me. Should be a great fight.
