Comments Thread For: Berto-Ortiz Rematch Looms as The IBF Title Vacated

Hard to believe this is the same guy that everyone was hating on a year ago. Very impressed with him vacating the title in order to pursue a tougher fight. Definitely a move in the right direction for Andre.

Ortiz-Berto II will be a big deal and I'm excited for it.

Was a great fight the first time around. Let's get it on!

I'll take Ortiz by wider margin than last time.

Awesome cant wait...WAR ORTIZ!!!!

Berto is gonna stink the fight up this time. Bank on it.

I'm not saying he is gonna box and move because we're talking about Berto here after all . This guy's boxing skills are truly laughable. But he is gonna hold when Ortiz is on the inside and etcetera.

He is only vacating because HBO weren't interested in Berto-Bailey. If HBO laid money down for the fight, he would have took it.

Berto is a b*tch. I can see it in te way he talks and everything. Once a b*tch always a b*tch.

Naturally Berto would have gone ahead and fought Bailey before rematching Ortiz if HBO was going to cough up the 1.5million or whatever for a somewhat easy defense. Who wouldn't?

Still, you have to applaud him and DiBella for doing what they had to do and going ahead with the rematch. Berto is giving up a world title to rematch a guy that beat the brakes off of him. That in itself is pretty damn rare.

They could have fought off TV in his first defense, rematched Zavec or fought Malignaggi on HBO, and then started to talk a rematch if Floyd and Manny weren't interested.

This is, by all means, the more dangerous route to go. Props to Lou DiBella and Berto for taking it.

Ortiz knocks him out this time, still should be fireworks early on.
