"5 Years Later, Will The FOTY Rematch Be Greater?" Ortiz/Berto, Jack/Bute PBC Apr 30th Fight Thread

[yawn]

Iont know why but I have still yet to watch the first Ortiz v Berto scrap

It was the universal 2011 FOTY and my breh's at the gym and here always speak highly of it

Can't break down the 1st fight but having watched plenty of both I view this as an even matchup

Since 2011 both men's career's have been on the same roller coaster

Both lost upsets, were injured and stopped by a supposed easy opp and picked up some ok victory's

Don't know who's the favorite but I know that this fight and card is gonna be one of the best in years

Rodriguez and Williams won slugfests on the same card and now face each other in the co main

Mexican prospect Jorge Lara takes a major step up against Fernando Montiel

And aged Heavyweight prospect Gerald Washington faces former contender Eddie Chambers

You'd think we'd be done after such a deep card but 2016 is the year of Da Feast

SHOWTIME picks up right after the PBC card with 2 super middleweight championship fights

Bute after losing a great fight to Degale gets another title shot vs the Badou Jack

And Degale after beating Bute fights on his undercard vs someone Badou been beat

I miss dude on the hbo broadcast

 

[jackswstd]

it's been 5 years since the first fight time flies like a muthafukker. Gonna miss Manny calling this one, besides Berto vs Ortiz perhaps my favorite commentating of his was for Toney vs Jirov.

Here's the first fight, for those of you who haven't seen it:

 

[patscorpio]

as I mentioned..the loser is prolly looking at the end of his career OR a slide into journeyman/jobber to the stars status...moreso Berto than Ortiz...Ortiz loses, he better cash out with Rios and call it a day

Yeah it'd be a real shame if we miss out on that fight; imagine if Ortiz brought back Danny Garcia as his trainer for that fight.

Going with my nikka Berto

 

[malbaker86]

I can't wait

 

[seemorecizzy]

very hard fight to predict
loser should retire

 

[Loop Ba$eCrawler]

If this fight tops the first one I'll be amazed. The first fight was like something straight out of a movie.
