"I saw berto never recovered completely to take back the edge and control the fight with his speed, Vic was to strong and in shape for him."

"I agree.This could easily boil down to who lands the first good shot and can follow up.The longer the fight goes, the more it favors Berto.Hard to see this going the distance...."

"It's all on Ortiz to make things happen , if he lands the first good shot it could set the tone for an up set."
