Forbes couldn&#x27;t break an egg.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Berto is a beast compared to Oscar&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Goodnight Steve

LarryParker · Answer

Berto seems like a good fighter to me.  I will be hoping Stever can take him deep.

Feel free to chime in.  &#xD;&#xA;[/Quote]&#xD;&#xA;I very rarely eat alot of chalk but vs. Steve Forbes I do it because he has no power to score an upset. Berto may be a tad overrated by some and I don&#x27;t think his chin would hold up vs. a Margo or Clottey but he&#x27;s winning this easy.&#xD;&#xA;For the future- make sure you do some line shopping. I know Forbes is something like &#x2B;650 on thegreek. You can only cost yourself $ betting bad odds. With dogs of this size its also best to wait until closer to fight time to get a bet in (public loves betting boxing favorites of this size.) ex. Berto went from -675 to -900 on bodog in the past few days.

KO unlikely, but how many times has the more experienced fighter won on points over the younger more talented charge.  Happens quite often if you think about it.  &#xD;&#xA;I wish I could shop around, but I have a local that gives me credit and carries over sometimes.  Thanks.

It&#x27;s hard for me to see Forbes really giving Berto a run for his money.  Berto&#x27;s biggest flaw is his chin and I just don&#x27;t think that Forbes has enough power to dent it.

No one gave Quintana a chance for the very exact same reason. No power, and they were right, he has no power.  He didn&#x27;t have to KO Paul to win, he just boxed circles around him for 12 rounds and took his title.  Could happen here too, don&#x27;t be surprised.

Bland fight at best.

LarryParker · Answer

Recap.  Because I&#x27;m not afraid to admit I was wrong.  The fight was boring, which was an indication of the calber of the fighters.  Both are good fighters, Berto looked better and was able to score more.  Forbes gets credit for making him miss plenty, but that&#x27;s it.
