Round 2: Forbes

 

Berto's punch repetoire is garbage. Forbes 2-0

 

FOrbes has won both the first two rounds. He's countering nicely and Berto already looks like he's becoming frustrated. Dunno how Forbes holds up over the later rounds though.

Round 3: Forbes

 

Berto loves to eat jabs. He's getting outscored by jabs alone.

 

Berto won rounds three, pretty clearly.

 

BERTO better SLOW DOWN........................he going to tired badly down the stretch.....

 

Anyone know what the odds were for Forbes/Berto?

Must have been +500 for Steve

 

I've got Forbes up 2 to 1...

Forbes can't punch, but Berto is getting wider and wider with his shots. Forbes is catching him coming in.

Forbes is probably fighting the best he can and will probably slow down. Berto's got to be more patient.

I'll also note that when Berto gets hit, it's flush...it's fine for a guy who can't punch...against a true welter...he's done.

 

When Berto punches, I feel like I'm watching women tennis.

ROund 5: Even

 

Is that Don Johnson sitting ringside?


TFK

 

Berto looks a bit tired after unloading on Forbes with a 10 punch combo. Forbes looked bothered.

close round, but I'll go with Berto because he did the damage.

3-2 Berto

 

I find Bertos talk amusing. Cotto, Margarito, Cintron. Those would be entertaining two minutes.

 

Berto's winning these rounds, even though they're close. Forbes can't do any better than he is and Berto seems to be getting a little stronger as the minutes go by.

 

Andre Berto 22-0 (19 Ko's)
vs.
Steve Forbes 33-6 (9 Ko's)

Round 6: Forbes

 

If Forbes wasn't a featherfisted fighter, Berto would had been KO already in round six.

 

and I thought Harold Lederman was shot:

Jim Watt from Sky Sports has Berto up 4-2

 

If Forbes wasn't featherfisted he wouldn't be fighting Berto.
