    Guys chill this guy just fought one of the toughest guy in the division with ONE eye he said after the fight that he had to change his game plan and boxed a little bit more that he would have liked....so let give both guys some credit and move on

    You're right, it wont be easy and i got carried away. I changed my post:oops:

    But sincerly, i think Berto doesn't have the tools to beat someone like Cotto. Hes a very good athletic fighter but Cotto's jab will be the key to this fight. I see it troubling Andre big time and not giving him the opportunities to launch his combinations.

    Berto never fought someone who can box better than him, has a better inside game than him and who can hurt him at the same time. Berto's speed and athleticism won't do the trick against Cotto....I think the one who's got the style advantage here is Cotto and that's it going to be a nightmare for Berto. Cotto on the other hand has faced all the styles its possible to fight and beated Mosley who is a better version of Berto (while being different in many points).

    Cotto already went trought hell and came back stronger so nothing Berto brings that he hasn't seen. How will Berto react when Cotto brings him to hell....?

    Alright then, mate- how was Clottey responding in the sixth? Cotto took his foot off of the gas- had he kept unloading he would have hurt him. He dropped Clottey in the first with a sharp jab! The only reason Clottey wasn't knocked down again is because Cotto stood back when he could have kept the pressure on. Go and watch the fight again you partisan.

    I have no doubt Cotto hurt Clottey in the fight, in round six. He also snapped his head back with a jarring left hook at the end of one of the rounds.

    I feel like Cotto, had he been a little less hesitant, could have got Clottey out of there in round 6, as he definitely hurt him and was penetrating Clottey's guard at will.

    Problem is, he seemed unwilling to committ too much forward due to the cut.

    I think this is the most intelligent post I've read on this topic all day.
