Bradley by a country mile. Even if Berto beats Mosely, or even knocks him out, Bradley is still above him.
I got Berto by SD v Mosely. And not a Collazo-esqe SD for Berto. Berto will actual deserve to win v Mosely.
Bradley by far. He is one the very few undefeated fighters currently to not care about their "0" and fight whoever. Much props to Berto he's on that list also.
also i think Berto has been steadily improving. I wonder if he stays in the gym between fights though.
Since Berto has stepped up his competition he has shown he knows how to hold and doesn't care if he dulls the fight, the Urango fight readily comes to mind.
Collazo showed a lot about Berto's overall fight game, before Collazo I thought Berto had a good shot at being a sleeper in the division and giving the big WWs like Margarito, Clottey and Williams problems. After that fight I think anyone in the Top 5 at WW beat Berto and possibly stop him.
you shouldn't judge a fighter based on only 1 fight. the Collazo fight showed that Berto has the heart and conditioning to dig deep in the championship rounds when he needs to. It was also a good experience builder since Collazo is a solid veteran who knows all the tricks in the book. young fighters learn alot from fights like that.
I see your point but he had an opportunity to show his progress in his subsequent fight, and what he showed is that he remembers how to hold. I think fighting guys like Rodriguez for the vacant WBC title and fighting Top 10 WWs is a whole different ballgame for Berto but he is still a very talented guy though.
Bradley has more potential, in my opinion, to do great things. I fully expect Mosley to outfight Berto and stop him. I've had the feeling that Berto was ripe for a loss whenever he fought someone like a Mosley, Mayweather, Williams, Pacquiao, Cotto, etc.. Berto is fast and athletic, but he makes a lot of mistakes such as stopping to admire his work when he punches, etc.. Bradley had a great performance recently and I can see him continuing to do well. Has a nice all-around game. If Berto surprises me against Mosley I'll have to reassess.
Ya, I believe I scored the fight for Collazo, if I remember. However, it was close and in those cases I just respect the scores that we got. If Berto continues to improve from encounters with good fighters, he has the ability to become somebody. However, I'm not sold on his chin and I think Mosley cracks it somewhere inside the distance.
Well lets put it this way. Before the Berto vs Urango fight my friend asked me how I thought the fight would play out and I said "If I was Berto's coach I would tell him to use his superior hand speed to throw off combinations when Urango gets in range and then right away use his weight advantage to smother Urango in clinches." Most people thought that fight was boring but I liked it cause Berto executed a great gameplan very well. Don't get me wrong though I am a huge Bradley fan and even went to see his fight against holt live.
:good Agreed. Bradley can fight on the outside, inside, can make you miss, has excellent hand speed, and showed great heart in his rough fight with Holt.
