Amen. Berto's own corner begged him to stop holding Guererro and got on his ass continually as the fight went on. After replays of the punch that messed up Berto's eye, Max Kellerman said it was a clean shot and i agree. I also remember both of Berto's eyes being closed at the end of the fight so i guess Guererro thumbed him in that eye too. At the end of the day, Guererro moved toward Berto and Berto could have moved backward to keep distance for his punches. He didn't. He chose to hold and fight an inside fight which is what Guererro had to do as well. I didn't see anything that Guererro did other than fight fire with fire. Guerrero's work rate was a problem for Berto as well.

Indeed, but Guerrero is a tough cookie.
Floyd is also getting old. He moves less and is starting to slow a bit. Who knows how long he's got left?
But, yeah, Floyd wins. Personally, I'd be interested in Guerrero-Bradley or Mayweather-Bradely too....The Power Of The Riff Compels MeComment

I don't like Guererro's chances against Mayweather either. Floyd is still too fast for him.RIDE TO LIVE, LIVE TO RIDE

Two big fights coming up:
Miguel Cotto - Austin Trout
Despite significant height and reach advantages it's hard to see Trout winning this. Cotto may be getting old in boxing terms, but you have to figure that he has too much left to lose this one. I don't see a stoppage, but Cotto by UD.
Manny Pacquiao - Juan Manuel Marquez IV
What is there to say that hasn't been said? JMM is now very old, but Pacman has not looked great in his previous efforts. Against Bradely his famous relentless work-rate was reduced to burst, meaning that he might not be able to take rounds on workrate alone this time out against JMM. It also seems that JMM has put on some genuine muscle - perhaps he'll be able to stun Pacman more significantly this time out.
Personally, I expect we'll get another cracking fight- and then the judges will rob JMM of yet another rightful victory.The Power Of The Riff Compels MeComment

Very controlled performance by Fury - Jonson is a good heavyweight (by today's standards) who is a negative fighter (and therefore hard to look good against). Can't imagine that Vitalli will stick around to fight Fury, so I can see a situation where Fury fights Arreola for the WBC belt in 2013. Mental - it's a shocking era for the heavies.....The Power Of The Riff Compels MeComment

Yeah mmmmm ,I did see a different side to fury and Johnson wasn't up to much in as much he never looked in trouble but neither did he in any way look a threat .
Think I would like to see a price fury match up.
Overall am still not convinced that Tyson is any thing other than very ordinary.fuck your fucking framingComment

Aside from ageing a little, this fight showed that Cotto really isn't big enough to be competitive with the natural 154lb guys. He fought bravely (although I thought he was going to quit from a body shot at one point), but size said it all.
Kudos to Trout. Great performance
Trout-Alvarez next? Trout-Lara? Plenty of tasty fights at 154.
As for Cotto, who knows? Will he go back to 147? Cotto-Bradley is a good fight........The Power Of The Riff Compels MeComment
