I wouldn't have minded a Cotto vs Thurman fight on PPV....would be MUCH better than Cotto vs Peterson

And it would have given #Thurminators that PPV push. At this point, not surprised Cotto went with the easier fight.

Andre Berto vs Shawn Porter?


That's a good matchup imo

Ain't this cotto last fight under roc nation?

Trash match up. Bruh Berto still on my TV making millions in 2016.

He probably go like this everytime they send him a new contract:

not that bad but Danny vs Molina is a laughable, pathetic, bad, woeful, joke, etc... fiight

I just defended Danny's resume last time cause he really has some nice wins but if he's gonna continue to do this...
This type of shyt makes me rooting for a Sugar John Molina upset.

dont care for it but at least its not a title shot...if berto can beat porter clearly, let him loose on a belt

Porter wasting his time though. How is PBC not bankrupt? Their matchup is still trash a year later.

Shawn Porter isn't that much better than Berto though


It's like a 55/45 matchup in favor of Porter imo

You don't care for it......until it's fight week and you remember Shawn Porter vs Andre Berto comes on Saturday at 9pm et, and you watch an entertaining matchup of 2 strong, aggressive, come forward fighters with very leaky defense and not afraid to let their hands fly



Fight will be a slug fest imo

It would be 65-35 to Porter imo but it would be an entertaining battle.

Porter is a top 5-6 ww who only lost one time clearly ad even that wasn't a shutout or anything like that. Besides that he beat Devon convincingly when Devon was still a thing, he also beat Broner convincingly and on my scorecards he beat Thurman too on a close fight which probably could go either way.

Berto has nothing on that resume especially not now for his past prime version

but it would be an action packed, entertaining fight indeed just not 55-45 but rather with a wider difference

@ChocolateGiddyUp your boy too big....we almost got the fight we've been waiting on for a couple years

 

[BeatsBoxingMayhem]

Andre Berto is the greatest businessman of this era behind only Mayweather. Dude got million-plus paydays to face Freddy Hernandez and Steve Upsher Chambers.

Resume wise, yes Porter is easily better than Berto.


Style wise though, I think Berto is much faster and a much bigger puncher than Porter. He's also got some strength and cant be bullied around the ring by anyone at 147 imo.


I think the fact that Porter gets hit so cleanly, and Berto is a more explosive puncher than AB is (who sat Porter down with a well-timed left hook), it leads to Berto making the fight much closer than it seems resume vs resume. Porter's style is to be a bully in the ring, but I don't think he can bully Berto. I think Porter can win due to the fact he'll try and be in Berto's chest all day, and rack up body work activity which can let him squeeze out rounds, but I also can see Berto winning by landing the crispier punches


I'd make Porter a 2-1 favorite over Berto.
