Title Fight Result (May 30)

Andre Berto of the US retained his WBC Welterweight title against the current IBF Junior Welterweight titleholder Juan Urango of Colombia by unanimous decision. I was looking forward to a fight that is at least close to the Berto-Luis Collazo war last January. Thinking that Berto still has a surplus of the fire and tenacity from that fight. Yet, in so many instances, I was dozing off. I'm just being honest but this fight was really boring. I am a hardcore fan and I appreciate some sticking and moving but this one's got a lot of moving and holding than sticking and it really wasn't pretty. I know that Urango's style is not like Collazo's but Urango tried to initate the action yet Berto stuck to his irksome game plan which prevented any exchange to go more than 3 seconds. Berto did show that he can run circles around opponents thus frustrating them to run after him. Urango did exactly that yet even if he's close he can't seem to come up with decent combinations. Fight fans probably were as frustrated as Urango. I've already imagined Berto doing the same thing against Mayweather and I started snoring. Glad that's not going to happen. Anyway, Berto remains undefeated and based on his running and holding strategy tonight, it will not merit him any right to fight the big names in this division. So I don't think any unification fights for him is possible anytime soon. With the top-tier moneymakers not available for him then I hope he takes on Paul Williams. Williams deserves a title shot anyway. Urango should remain the IBF 140-lb. champ and I believe he should totally ditch the welterweight experiment. If he can't be competitive against Berto, what more against Mosley or Cotto? ESPN; Boxing Scene; Fight News

Prediction Result:
By the sixth round, it was obvious that I already have the winner right but a late stoppage does not look promising.

Nevertheless, add another notch in my win column. My record is now 33-4-2. No changes in the tally.
