"Patel"? Fuck you.
Khan: "I can see Berto winning a lot of the rounds".

What a dummy Khan is. He seems to only speak in the 3rd person now, too. Twat.

Berto's activity is making this a fight. He's having some good looks this round.

Pretty sure the ref has touched Mayweather more in this fight.

I would probably rank this higher than the Pac fight so far.

Fuck the DH
Based on the activity around MGM today, I think nobody is buying the retirement poo poo. There were no huge banners. The crowds were pretty normal for a Saturday, just with a lot more Money Team hats the usual. It didn't feel like the entire planet is descending on Vegas like it can on big fights (Hatton, Ortiz, obviously the last one.)

Not hard to do that. Rock Em Sock Em Robots produces a better fight 1000% of the time

Mayweather needs to put the hurt on Berto, daze him enough to think twice about coming in. As it is, Berto's stamina and pace have been very impressive, I don't see him fading on his own without some help from big Mayweather shots.

Mayweather recovers from his semi-lackluster 7th, is probably up 7-1/6-2 at worst.

A generous card might have Berto winning 2 rounds.

My god, Andre Berto has absolutely no infighting ability. Every time he comes in, he smothers his own work immediately, and then gets clinched. Repeat x1000

I think there could be a fight if the ref is not careful here, with the amount of jawing they are doing at each other.

He's a terrible "technician" and pretty much relies entirely on his athleticism.

More talking than fighting in the fight, and the ref makes sure it stops before anything dramatic happens.

floyd's movement looks the best it's been since the canelo fight imo. no sign of age at all. not that berto's fighting the type of fight that would bring it out

Pacquiao was able to at least win 2-4 rounds based on looking like he was putting in work. Berto is on a lower tier than Mayweather for sure.

119-109
