    Comments Thread For: Berto's Ongoing Battle With Critics is an Age Old Fight

    By Thomas Gerbasi - In April, they put on one of the best fights of 2011, a compelling 12 round drama that disappointed no one. This week, Andre Berto and Victor Ortiz took time from the promotion of their upcoming fights to fire back at a media they feel has done them wrong.

    This is nothing new. Athletes, entertainers, politicians, they’ve all felt at one time or another that those wielding a pen or sitting behind a keyboard harbor a secret resentment for their success. In response, what they perceive as poison shows up in newspapers and ****zines, on computer screens and on Twitter, and while much of it is ignored, eventually, especially for those who have gone through a relatively unscathed existence in the public eye, it hits home and prompts outbursts such as those delivered by two of the top young fighters in the game today.

    The author probably don't know what the scene is among boxing fans when it comes to Berto. All hardcore boxing fans have been calling out Berto as a paper champion. We just didn't come out after he lost. We've been doing it since he won his vacant belt.

    He is still a protected fighter. I bet Zaveck will get rob here in the U.S.

      But if Berto wins a close one, will people say Berto won it fairly or that Zaveck was robbed? Alot of boxing fans get close fights mixed up with robberies like Cruz/Casamayor(probably worst robbery I've ever seen on tv) or Lara/Williams. There's somethings the judges see that we might not be able to see from our angles and vice-versa. The judges might not be able to see certain punches we see land.

          This as a make or break fight for Berto. His career is on the line.

              Berto should win this. I also believe a Berto/Ortiz rematch will happen in the future.

                  Berto's been around quite a while and after this bout he must cope w/some of the new generatoin boxers...also when Ortiz loses to Floyd, then what as fighting Vic accomplishes nothing and he has nothing at the box office to offer FM Jr...
