Right!? its a horrible fight and best believe they will get paid a lot for it. Alexander cant punch for shit and is boring as fuck. He brings no threat to Berto.

Alexander KO'd a guy that Berto struggled with.

Paulie gots KO's too and so did Floyd last Saturday. Fact is Alexander doesnt sit on his punches, too much shoe shinning for me. Berto will walk through his punches.

Cosme Rivera knocked Berto down. Berto doesn't walk through shit. He's regularly out of shape and had feet and stamina issues. If he wins, great. I'll be picking him but when was the last time you saw Berto look good against a southpaw? I guess he looked great against a well past his prime Carlos Quintana.

Rivera is a big Welter. Alexander is a Jr Welter, he wont be able to hurt Berto. Its just not a good fight IMO. Put Berto with a pressure fighter and it will be entertianing, the Alexander fight wont.

You do know that Cosme Rivera is a Jr. Welter right?

Wrong again, Hes been a Welter for along time. I can still remember his fight with Judah which was a long time ago. He may of fought there, but that was like a decade ago. Now hes flirting with jr Middle.

He just fought Antonio Pitalua at Jr Welter and will be fighting him again at Jr Welter in November. Seriously, get your facts straight young man. I think the heaviest he ever fought was 150. It doesn't matter anyway because it's Cosme fucking Rivera.

If you check out the link, hes been fighting at Welter for 10 years before coming back at 140. My point still stands, Alexander wont be much of a threat to Berto at welter and Im glad Lou came out and said he was interested in it becuase not many people are. Cosme may of dropped him, but he still went 12 with Ortiz whos a big puncher himslef.

I understand that Diego. He's not a big welter who is flirting with 154 like you said. Just fall on your sword and say that Cosme Rivera is a journey man that dropped Andre Berto and exposed his vulnerable chin and less than stellar defense.

Ok kiddo. He's a Jr. Welter now, his last fight was at Jr welter and he "flirted" with 154 to get a payday against Angulo and could only get up to 151. The guy is a regular sized welter/jr welter who moved up to get KO'd at Jr. Middle.

Dude hes a welter moving down just to fight Pitolua. Oh Please, Hes still a Welter. Good thing this fight was all talk, Im just glad its not happening.
