[vince_vince]

Ain't no way berto should. Have lost..if

He shouldabeen boxing and moving ..soto is like ghost t they wanna maul u and fight on the inside only way to beat fighters like tht is to box smh

i think if the fight went 12 rounds a fit berto wouldnt have lost. he threw a couple good right uppercuts that hurt soto karass but with only one arm left shit was a wrap

That's positive thinking, but dude was getting lumped before the first round was up. All those body shots showed up late too. Even with two hands, Berto was going to lose this fight. For the life of me, I can't understand why he never picked his left hand up to guard the left side of his head until soooooo far into the damn fight.

The Floyd shit is dope IF you know how to use it. If you're a stiff bodybuilder masquerading as a boxer, it just leaves room for you to get beat the fuck up. Left side of his head should've had a dent and his body was being destroyed. Man looked like Meatwad on Aqua Teen Hunger Force on the episode he had salmonella and his eyes were swollen.

U can have the best trainer in the world but if u don't listen to instructions

Shit don't mean anything

Berto might be able to pick his career back up...but when welter being deep as it is idk he can even move up cuz 154 is stacked too

 

[Vader_F_Kennedy]

Ment can't

 

[playmaker88]

Berto picked up a jab from Virgil but his footwork balance and inability to move his head has always led him to getting hit way more than he should.. he not done.. he just not and hasnt been an elite fighter he really fought valiantly with ne hand i think the fight had the potential to be different if he had full use of that right, he could have easily quit and he wouldn't have been at fault but he stuck it out

So do u think he can compete with any of the top guys at 47 to 54?

power is that equalizer ..compete yea of course nigga still got fist but will he is an enirely different story... and whats up this "elitist boxing fan" notion that if you dont fight on SHO or HBO you are somehow not worthy ... all it means is you are a money maker

 

[Vader_F_Kennedy]

Shit sometime espn has better cards than hbo or sho

Maybe with more time wit virgil he will be able to work his way back

But lets not take any thing away from soto he did what he was suppose to do ..his up and down ( body and head work) was great

 

[perspective@100]

Broner should take heed..can't fight flat footed against every opponent

Broner gets hit a lot compared to Floyd, but Broner defense is 1000x's better than Frog eyes Berto. Everyone says Broner uses Floyd's defense but he actually uses that shell while walking forward as offense and Floyd never does that.

 

[Vader_F_Kennedy]

Floyd did that vs judah when he walked him down

 

[Bcotton5]

No one is going to give you better odds than whats posted on betting websites Lol

Dont underestimate floyd fans...

Nigga... it's straight up on here.. either put up or keep quiet

Make me nigga...

I got action... $50 on Canelo to whoever $165 on Floyd... Who want it?

Its Floyd should be an easy $50!

I got 115

............................

I'll take that

aight (virtual handshake)

 

[aneed123]

Floyd fought Shane and cotto like that as well as vs lefties. Bertos punch resistance is gone reminds me of Juan ma

dude is better off losing some of his muscles and moving down to 140. with 5'6 he is on the short end of 47 anyway and with the punch resistance of saturday night, 140 is a lot safer.

well, otherwise there is always paulie if you looking for an easy fight at 147...

 

[Vader_F_Kennedy]

Yea berto seem like he get more muscular wit every fight (NH)

Damn wish paul williams didn't have that accident things would be interesting at 154 -160 plus he wasn't afraid to fight anybody

 

[dwade206]

What's the point of switching trainers if you're still going to fight the same; not ducking, being flat footed, not moving around the ring, exchanging punches and brawling when you don't have to, and not reacting well to pressure-fighters. Berto will be on Friday Night Fights soon.

 

[Vader_F_Kennedy]

So u sayin being wit virgil ain't gon change shit no matter how much time they spend in the gym?

Nigga, did you see the fight?!?

 

[Vader_F_Kennedy]
