    Berto by a landslide. Forbes is a crafty veteran whose never been stopped but he's never fought a guy with the type of power combined with speed that Berto possesses. If Berto fails to score the ko he'll win big on the cards.

    Won't happen, Berto wins this by UD or late stoppage.

    Its too hard to call I think , Forbes is the first legit fighter put in front of Berto. I would favor Berto , UD

    This is more Forbes' natural weight, isn't it? He lasted 12 with De La Hoya. Won an SD over Bojado (I didn't see it), who used to be a prospect with a hype train not completely unlike Berto's current one... Berto is imperfect (who isn't?) and relatively untested so I wouldn't be completely aghast at Forbes pulling an upset.

    Berto should win though and the more convincingly, the better. There are folks that swear he's gonna be the next big thing. If he were to KO Forbes with the quickness (say by round 4 or 5) where DLH couldn't...well maybe there's somethin' there?

    At any rate, I have Berto by late TKO or wide UD.

    I think this fight was Forbes's reward for selling his soul, I mean, fighting Oscar at a weight disadvantage.

    Compelling fight though. Forbes will definitely bring out the truth in Berto.

    Let's just say that if Forbes manages to drop Berto or hurt him badly off a counter then Andre belongs in the Khan league of glass chins.

    Quintana wasn't chosen, he was more or less just settled upon because 4 other guys passed on the fight.

    Berto will win in impressive fashion. Stevie has nothing to trouble Berto with other than a chin.
