Robert Guerrero vs Andre Berto - Interim WBC Welterweight Title

Henno30

The big fight at 147 tonight.

The Ghost has only had one fight at the weight, winning a decision over Selcuk Aydin back in July. Berto on the other hand hasn't fought in 14 months, due in part to his failed drug test earlier this year.

Purses for both fighters are $1,600,000 (Berto) and $1,000,000 (Guerrero), but the real prize is a potential mega-payday with Floyd Mayweather next May.

That was a scrap and a half, fair play Guerrero took Berto's power shots and came back for more

Had a sneaky feeling Guerrero would take it, if i'd know Berto would land some of those bombs i'd never have given Guerrero at chance given his lack of experience at the weight, but the mans beard is granite

Sounds good, looking forward to seeing this.

Very surprised with how Guerrero fought. His aggression was incredible, and he ate some unbelievable shots from Berto like they were nothing, wanting to give an immediate reply every time.

He looks like he could be a real monster at 147 now, real versatility and legitimate power. Wouldn't be particularly interested in seeing him face Floyd next, there are better opponents for both, but you can be sure he won't turn it down if it's offered.

It's a rematch with Ortiz or another torrid evening with Guerrero for Berto. I'd love someone to explain how Haymon keeps getting him such big purses.

Gotta' catch this bout. I heard that Guerrero could have made it a bit easier for himself. Always been a fan of Guerrero. I just thought that 140 and above would be too much for him.

Looks like Mayweather - Guerrero is gonna happen and will be announced before the Pac-Marquez fight

Mayweather will be far too polished for Guerrero. I like Guerrero, but Floyd's style will be bad for him.
