    Berto actually impressed me tonight. Getting dropped was no big deal and I don't think it means he has chin issues. It was just a perfectly timed/placed shot that landed with great effectiveness. Berto was shaken but he had his senses back by the time he was on his feet, I don't think he would have been stopped had the KD occured earlier and his corner probably cheated just to play it safe. If Berto had chin issues I seriously doubt he'd fight the way he does, by stalking and being so offensively aggresive.

    It's borderline blasphamous but he might be the next generations nearest thing to Shane Mosley, a guy with good speed and talent who actually engages his opponents and looks to trade. Too bad he doesn't seem to sit on his punches enough and that he doesn't have as good of footwork as Mosley, but he's pretty exciting.

    What BOTHERS REED about Berto's Knockdown is that Rivera FEINTED & BAITED him N 2 that Shot...

    Rivera ISN'T Known for his RingSmarts OR his Quickness,yet he CLEARLY Suckered Berto N 2 a LEAD UPPERCUT...

    & he HURT Berto...

    The Name "Carlos Quintana" was Mentioned Along w/Rivera's,as Potential Opponents...Quintana would have STOPPED Berto Last Night...He's BETTER than Rivera N EVERY Regard...

    Don't let the record fool you, nor his showing against Judah. Cosme is an old pro who knows his way around the ring. He can crack too.

    I actually agree with you on this, Berto seems too small for welter and probably Quintana would have stopped either guy last night

    That's right, Cheo...I picked him to give Judah a VERY hard time and still consider that fight an aberration for Cosme...I expected it to go similar to Baldomir-Judah but with Judah squeaking by. I think Rivera was just overwhelmed by Judah's speed and never got his legs under him (I've always thought the way he was smiling after ever KD was out of sheer embarassment).

    Peace.

    Funny that most on this board swear Judah is a bum yet people are praising the bums he straight up raped to hype up some shitty prospect.

    :lol:
