    One bad score, the other two where reasoable, so sure I guess it was good.

    I got in late...set the Tivo for Tuesday rebroadcast...but from what I saw, it seems like Collazo got robbed again. Is he the next Winky Wright?

    I didn't feel there were really any close rounds. That being said, the point deduction left little room for there to be reason for a Berto victory. So, bad decision.

    I like Berto, he showed he certainly has what it takes to beat Collazo convincingly, but he stayed inside too many rounds and it showed.

    Another aspect of the fight, Berto won some rounds unconvincingly, in that Collazo spent what seemed like 5 minutes with his hands down, and just moving. Round 11 and 12 were better for Berto..

    Collazo Deserved the nod..... He did more and dictated the fight. Berto should have lost by one or 2 points..

    I had the Collazo winning by 1 point - due to the deduction. Other than that - it was a Draw. That 116 - 111 was Bull****. Either fighter winning a close decision was alright with me.

    Berto won by 114-113, if it hadn't been for the deduction the result would be 115-113. Credit for Berto, what a fight!

    If Collazo hadn't taken two round's off we wouldn't be having this discussion.

    This was a title fight and what Collazo did in the 7th and 8th round's was not the most ideal way to try to win a World Title, Is it not supposed to be the case that the Challenger has to rip the title from the Champions grasp.

    Collazo fought a great fight other than those two round's and really should be kicking himself that he threw away a fight that was his for the taking.

    The Decision was predictable although 116-111 is pathetic and that judge should never be given another fight again.

    I had it a draw with the near knockdown and deduction. 6 rounds to 5 for Berto, with one even I thought he swept rounds 5 through 8. Harold Letterman should be ashamed of himself for giving two of those rounds to Collazo. I believe it was the seventh round where according to compubox Berto outlanded Collazo 20 to 4 in the Power Punch stat. He also dictated the entire round and even had Collazo in trouble from some body shots. And yet Letterman gave Collazo the round.
