We knocked that bum out
#PorterHouse
fam, I never picked Berto to win and always said Porter was the rightful favorite. I just always maintained that Berto was live which he showed he was in spots. He won like 2 rounds, but like I said earlier he'd prolly get outworked which he did.
I'm a Florida nikka so of course I'd stick up for Berto and want him to win, but I knew what time it was.
Besides that ugly ass fight was nothing to be proud of.
Berto lacked the footwork to create space to counter effectively like Thurman was able to do consistently. Plus he lacked the head movement to avoid the jab and headbutts. Whenever Berto would lead, he'd do good, but he's just too reactive nowadays. He waits for the opening to come instead of making one. That won't work against a nikka that fight like a werewolf. Porter did land the jab effectively tho and did some good work, but he still doesn't move his head enough, it's just that Berto didn't capitalize off of it.
Berto should have taken less money and fought Swift. That fight was always more winnable for him and win or lose, the styles would have meshed better to make an entertaining fight. Swift doesn't pressure as much as Porter and he fires just enough where Berto could explode and catch him. Plus the fight would be less physically taxing. I know I was one of the few here that wanted to see that fight, but
We can't go back in time. Seems like Porter beat the fight outta Berto and dude might retire. Haymon kept that nikka fed throughout the years so he should be good with money.
Jermell looked perfect tho. Got damn Hatley
Having bad defense and a bad chin are like the 2 worst flaws you can ever give a boxer and dude has both. He literally ate every punch clean and was looking like a rag doll in there.
....Swift might be too complacent eating too good to get dirty like he needs to to get the W
the whole time. nikka was disappointed as hell.
