Quintana/Berto

Quintana at +400 is a steal. Did the oddsmakers miss the last time Andre Berto fought a slick southpaw? Now he's fighting an even better one in my opinion. Quintana UD.

You're out of your mind.

Hell no Quintana is not better than Collazo! Quintana's greatest strength is his footwork(won't work versus Berto), while Collazo's greatest strength is his counter-punching skills. Quintana has NO CHANCE!

Berto inside the distance.

If he pulls it off, It'll be this way. If Quintana makes it the distance, it's hard to imagine him not deserving the decision.

If he doesn't finish him, I think Berto can take and sometimes steal rounds with his power shots.

Quintana needs a ko to win. Berto is waaaay more marketable and is fighting for Haiti and is undefeated. Quintana had to come down in weight. Did I mention Feleciano dropped him in his last fight?

fighting on emotion never goes well unless you can clearly dominate your opponent

No ITD props for the fight. The O/U is set at 8.5 rounds. My play:

Berto vs Quintana o8.5 -155 (3.1u to win 2u)

Seems like a good bet Hoff :-) Quintana coming down in weight, Berto a lay off plus a lot to fight for.

Berto not a guy to go for a knock out right away, and Quintana can give SOME people troubles.

My only question is was Quintana brought in here to legitimately fight or make Berto look amazing.

I cannot see laying almost 5-1 on Berto so the over makes the best sense.

Berto throws nice power shots but not in combos.

People are making too much of this Haiti thing, yes it can give him extra motivation, but if he loses people cannot use Haiti as excuse.

Again why was Quintana brought in here to actually WIN or for Berto's cause?

Small play on the over is my selection.

I've seen Quintana look great and look like shit the next fight, being Quintana had to lose weight .. he should be able to take 8.5 rounds of shots assuming he's even there to win.

Good luck to everyone whichever way you wager!
                                

I think Berto knocks him out in 7 or less. He said he knows he has the advantage in speed and power. Quintana has been TKO'd early versus Cotto and Williams...I seriously think if Berto wants the early KO, he can get it.

Quintana had his biggest victory over Paul Williams only to get stopped in the rematch. I have heard rumors that quintana had a very hard time making weight. Take it for what its worth. I wouldn't be surprised if Berto stopped him based on that.

Berto parlayed with Lora for me.   GL everyone

I hope Teddy Atlas takes the night off so I can hear the thud of the punches for a change and get a feel for the fight.

His mouth waddles like a ducks ass

Need Berto to win. Lets do this! GL Berto players. 

Berto via decision +185, GL

I'm on the over in this fight pretty big at -160.  I haven't been sold on Berto's power ever, and I think Quintana will make him work for this win.  Three plays for me tonight:

Quintana/Berto over 8.5 (-160)

Yordan/Caballero over 8.5 (-145)

Orlando Lora (+105)

Finally some props:

Berto ITD -115

Berto by 12rd DEC +183

Quintana ITD +1033

Quitana by 12rd DEC +697

Quintana ITD doesn't sound too bad. That's the ONLY way I can see him winning. I don't think he can hold off Berto long enough, plus the fight is in Berto's home state, and Berto is the sentimental favorite because of the Haitain earthquake. I have a small insurance bet on this parlayed with the over on the Mijares fight and Lamont Peterson.

 Teddy Atlas is great!

I think I instantly lost respect for Berto when he came out with Soulja Boy.

Wow...ref is on the take. Looked like Quintana got the knockdown from here. The behind the head stuff is bullshit. Berto turned his head.

It was a temple shot he went down, note that for later in the fight and in FUTURE fights, he has a SWEET spot there same as Roy Jones.

I agree it was a clean KD.  Berto is doing alot of bitching.  I think he's in some trouble here.  The ref is certainly buying into his BS though.

And he keeps complaining about these behind the phantom behind the heads shots.

Berto has stamina issues he better get Quintana out of there in the next few rounds or he will be gassed!
