Comments Thread For: Guerrero-Berto Deal in Place For 11/24, Says DeCubas

I'm picking Berto, but I'll probably change my mind a few times. Berto will probably have no stamina in this fight, since his last fight was short and it was a long time ago now. Guerrero's isn't great either, and he will have trouble handling Berto's speed and strength.

Tough fight to pick. I'd be more confident about picking Berto if he had fought recently.

This fight is interesting to me. I think Guerrero has a great chin even at 47 but Berto will definitely test it. This is the fight that will show if Guerrero can really hang with the big boys and we will know after the fight if he is a legit welter. This fight will be competitive. The technical skills in this fight are with guerrero but i expect berto to win several rounds with activity anyways so this will likely be close and controversial. I think if guerrero can stay off the canvas he pulls of a close split decision.

I got Berto by a brutal KO!

You really feel Robert Guerrero is an upper tier WW now? From one WW win against a mediocre fighter.

I Agree Aydin was mediocre but WW is pretty thin right now. A win over him would certainly make anyone who beats him a top level guy at WW.

That's great.

Leaning on Guerrero unless Berto lands a big shot.

Winner might fight Mayweather.

I definitely think the winner of this fight will get the Mayweather sweepstakes, and if Guerrero were to pull it off he would have proved a lot of people wrong by actually eventually landing the Floyd fight.

Hopefully Berto won't cut Guerrero with a deliberate headbutt to the eye, and then have the referee call it a TKO like in the Zaveck fight.

And hopefully the ref will stop Berto from holding.

But Berto is a Haymon fighter so we know which side the ref will be on.

That fight frustrated me so much because Zaveck was fighting very well before getting cut. I have always wished they would rematch, but I don't see Zaveck ever getting that unfortunately.

How about Maidana and Aydin fight in the meantime?

Would not mind seeing that.

Winner gets mayweather?

Will not surprise me in the least.

Berto by brutal beating !!!!!

Guerrero on points. Berto starts well but starts to fade as the fight goes on.

[richardt]

This is a toss-up type of fight in that Guerrero throws straighter punches than Ortiz, better defence, Berto is faster but fades, Guerrero busier and keeps the pace, Berto shorter, more compact, but Guerrero is taller and uses his reach. Picke-em fight. Berto does not hit as hard as Aydin and Berto has less than 40% KO ratio in his last 7 fights, doubt he "Brutalizes" Guerrero.

[subhuman]

Hopefully Berto doesn't rely on any of the following to win; PEDs, headbutting, excessive clinches, and like other posters said, I hope the ref won't allow Berto to hold so much. Al Haymon might have to pull some strings again.

i dont think guerroo could withstand a BIG right from berto like the one andre landed in the 6th round on ortiz that almost broke his face i got berto
