Andre Berto vs Victor Ortiz April 16th
- Thread starter 2-0-Sixx
- Start date
I don't think Berto's "stock" went up at all. Collazo already did a number on him, now Ortiz made him look like complete shit. Again, I don't think Berto was all there. Not taking way from Ortiz because I was pulling for him, but Berto didn't bring his A game. He was exhausted the entire way through. Also, what's up with his brother yapping in his ear the whole time? The trainer is trying to give Berto instruction and his brother is going "ya, ya, you need to do this". I'm sure trainers don't really enjoy family members in the corner.
Ortiz did prove a lot of people wrong. Congrats to him.
Where does Berto go from here? Back to looking good against lesser fighters I guess...
Also, I'm glad Floyd kept standing up and clapping. Good thing he at least appreciates other people putting it on the line.

I'm glad Berto lost. Now he's forced to earn the things that he's been handed for a portion of his career, that is ------a rep / a belt / a fat pay day. I'm confident that he can earn all three to be honest. Ortiz is a heavy puncher. Berto lost, but now he can move on to more Entertaining fights, against Cintron, mosley, Alexander, Maidana etc. etc.
that fight was awesome.
And I just want to say to TONY I told you berto wasn't on the same level as pacquiao his defense is terrible the only defense he has is to clinch no head movement at all. He's been fighting 140 pounders without much power for a reason and Ortiz exposed every flaw that he has.
Ortiz fought like a man tonight. He showed heart, killer instinct, determination, everything a young fighter should have. He definately redeemed himself.
great fight.

I'm not exactly happy he lost, But I always told folks I thought Berto was over rated. Wasn't seasoned enough. Paper champ with a heavy hand. You can tell the Ref favored him, Just for the sake of Boxing. Not too many untarnished records out there with interest. On a side note, I'm loving Mayweather's fake little smile going as the house booooed the shit out of him. I think he'll be getting in the ring with Pac if he beats Mosley. Just a prediction.
