    Berto is holding on for dear life. He doesn't want to fight anymore. This is ortiz fight.

    There is no way Berto can beat Pacman. Just saying. Also, when berto got hurt all he did way hold ortiz the last 6 rounds.

    He's young and he learned a lesson in that bout. He'll come back bigger. The guys has tremendous power and speed. HE'll be back.

    Berto held on for 6 rounds. Pacman is twice as fast as Victor and has KO power in both hands. There is no way berto can survive. I also don't like the way berto held on for 6 rounds making the decision seem like it was a better fight than it really was. In reality, berto was done after the 6th round.

    Agreed. His legs were gone after the first. The reason he was still able to land significant punches is because he turns completely into his punches, otherwise his punches wouldn't have had any power. Anyway, Berto is a way better boxer than he showed tonight, my guess is he slacked off in training and thought it was gonna be easy work. Ortiz is a beast and it will be interesting to see the matchups that can be made now that he's a champ. It's definitely going to make for some interesting fights at 147. There's a new champ in town!

    Missed this, wonder when the replay is.

    Surprised to hear that Berto faded after 6.

    They replay it again tomorrow at like 11:30 am I think. They replay it twice tomorrow then again Tuesday if I'm not mistaken.

    Yeah there was one round (round of the year so far), right after Berto had knocked down Ortiz, where Ortiz looked like he barely touched him on the chin with a left hook and Berto's legs just went out on him. Great fight!

    I would definitely want to see a rematch! This fight is candidate for fight of the year. I was not a big fan of Ortiz but after tonight, I am a true believer.

    You guys needs to google and check out his life story, it will move you!

    As long as he's standing on the floor, he's never done. He's got a power punch that can KO anybody.

    The 2nd shot in that exchange wasn't a full power shot, it was an arm punch. Still it showed he had no legs left.

    Was that the 6th? I actually found it on Youtube. lol. I havent' seen all of Berto's fights, but I notice he leaves himself open a lot, particularly when he thinks he's going for the kill shot. I understand wanting to finish a fight when you got a guy on the ropes, but you can't get reckless. Seemed like that's what happened in that round.

    Guess I'll see if the replay is going to be on in a few.
