Mosely vs Berto

[Swansea Osprey]

Anybody know if Sky are showing the fight on Jan 30th ?

[Flea Man]

I hope so.

I don't rate Berto much to be honest but at Shanes age a long bout of inactivity can't be good.

If Mosley has much left (and he has fantastic guidance in Brother Nazim) then I see him stopping Berto, who was dropped heavily by Rivera and stunned numerous times by Collazo.

Mosley-Mayorga was on Sky and Berto-Urango was shown delayed so you never know. Personally, I think it'll be shown. Sky seem to be stepping it up recently and they know the winner of this fight can angle for either Pac or PBF if they don't sign a contract to fight each other. Has to be shwon as it's a brilliant fight, IMO:good.

[Beeston Brawler]

I think they will show it.

They seem to like Berto, his fight with Trabant was shown and I think they have shown one or two others.

Mosley will blow him away, and early.

Berto is hittable, has crap footwork and his technique isn't much better than average.

Easy night for Mosley :deal

I hope they show it.

This is what I think. My only worry is that the inactivity will cause Mosley to have to warm up yet again, like he did against Mayorga, and unlike Mayorga, Berto's freshness COULD pull him through.

But in my eyes it's 70-30 is favour of Mosley,I don't rate Berto AT ALL.

I cant help but feel Mosleys brilliant performance when dismantling Margarito was maybe down to Margs mindset a bit.

He'd just been caught cheating and must've known the shit he was in.

If the price was right,i'd possibly take a stab on Berto.

The speed, power and fluid combinations were nothing to do with Margarito. If mosley can retain those talents, plus his chin (I've seen him hurt badly once in his whole career, against Forrest, admittedly it shouldve been stopped) he will have enough to hand Berto his first loss.

Correct,it was a masterful performance but you'd have to be a bit naive to think that Margarito performance was not affected at all by the loaded gloves chenanigans.

WBC v WBA. I'm sure it'll be on sky. Massive fight with the winner putting massive pressure to fight the winner of Floyd vs Pac.

I dont like Shanes inactivety, but i dont think Berto can do anything Mosely can handle. Mosley UD.

Yep the fight was announced in i believe end of November...right at the start of December. It was on January 24th and in December Margarito was looking very heavy and was doing lots of press appearances and really enjoy the fame and fortune and then signed to fight Mosley...i feel it was a rushed through fight to capitalize on his win over Cotto. He said he was weight drained and to be honest i think that and not having his bricks handy did benefit Shane but a big part was Shane's masterpiece gameplan as well and he carried it out to perfection.

[Losfer_Words]

Brother Nazim had a very big part in the victory as well, IMO. Mosley was terrible in the Mayorga fight before destroying Margo. It's no coincidence that B-Hop was so God damn good against Pavlik as well considering he was also new to Richardson's tutelage.

:good This Month's Ring Magazine has a really good article with Nazim and he talks indepth about his views and about B-HOP as well. I rate him very highly and have no problem mentioning him up there with Roach.

[Top Dog]

Mo wins this one, dont rate Berto very highly

[bronze_bandit]

cant wait for this hope....jus hope we get to see this one televised across here!?
EPSN havent shown that much boxing since they started...
When does their televised boxing season start?

[threethirteen]

Nah, Margo had taken some heavy shots against Cotto, and was in with a guy that was capable of out-muscling him. Margo started to believe his own press and that he could beat Mosley comprehensively. Unfortunately he was dealing with a uniquely talented, stand-up brawler and he got flattened.
