Berto thinks Pacquiao could be in trouble if Margarito brings the heavy pressure on 11/13
October 24th, 2010
By Chris Williams: In the latest boxing news, WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto (26-0, 20 KO’s) describes the Manny Pacquiao vs. Antonio Margarito fight as a “Toss up” fight, according to an article from writer Chris Robinson at Examiner.com. Berto, 27, says “If Margarito brings that pressure, it could be too much for Manny.” I totally agree with Berto. This fight boils down to Margarito, and what he does in the ring. If he fights like his old self from two years ago, throwing 100 punches per round, then he’ll simply steam roll over the little Filipino without too many problems. But if Margarito looks tired and lets Pacquiao get off first all night long, he’ll end up losing and probably get stopped. The good thing that Margarito has going for him in this fight is that Pacquiao doesn’t tend to clinch a lot.
He just needs to be the one that’s coming forward and throwing his punches nonstop. He can’t give Pacquiao an opportunity to throw his own punches, because that will lead to Margarito taking too much punishment. Instead, Margarito needs to just keep throwing shots to Pacquiao’s midsection, head and wherever he can land.
Pacquiao tends to go on shut down when facing guys that throw a lot of punches. Pacquiao keeps waiting for them to stop to begin his own shots, but if they keep throwing for extended periods of time, Pacquiao just looks to cover up and ride out the wave of shots. If Margarito doesn’t stop throwing punches, he very well could turn Pacquiao into another Kermit Cintron-like victim. Pacquiao can take a lot of head shots, but he looks very uncomfortable when you tag him in the bread basket. I think that’s where Margarito needs to aim his shots. He’s wasting his time if he goes after Pacquiao’s head. It doesn’t work, because his head is like granite and just stops the shots without him getting hurt.

Pac wasn’t at welter when he fought Cotto…
He wasn’t campaining at welter…
Mayweather didn’t come back until Marquez which was after the Cotto fight…
Check your facts…. what sort of logic do you use?
@Rico Suave
Cotto was #2 when Pac fought him… Check your facts….
Berto could be in trouble if he fights Mayweather, Pacman, Williams, Cotto, Cintron, Margarito, Martinez, or rematch Callazo. What s the point
@Rico Suave
What rank was Cotto and Clottey on the welterweight division when he fought them?
Just thought I’d ask you…………
Yo Kingpin…Word up…If Manny Pacquiao fought any fighter…I REPEAT,,,ANY FIGHTER ranked in the top 5 of the Welterweight and Junior Middle Weight Divisions, he would get “CRUSHED”.
Why do you think he continues to fight UNRANKED FIGHTERS COMING OFF OF DEVASTATING LOSSES?
Manny Pacquiao gets a Grade of C+ to B- in talent.
Margaro will stomp on that Lil tiny winy man.
The one who will beat Manny at this point is not yet born, Mayweather ? he trembles a lot just hearing Manny’s name, what more inside the ring, ha ha !
@the clown
keep on dreaming its free, he he he ! all anti Paquiao looses every time, there’s nothing new all of u r the same, born looser.
U r good in dreaming day and night, u can’t do anything Margo a slow mow version he he he ! Manny can cook dinner while waiting for his so called heavy punches to arrive, he should blink his eyes, Pacs hands is faster than the blink of an eye, once he got hit and for sure he will say goodbye, oh Mr. clown u can wake then from your dreams
Williams – PacMan has always faced guys who love to apply pressure, with the exception of Clottey (who said he had diarrhea during the fight, he, he, he!). PacMan will get bruised, sure, but he’ll still win. And if you really believe Margo “Mano de Plaster” can beat the little fellow – you should place a $10,000 bet to win on the cheater. Good luck!
I didn’t even read the article because who cares what berto has to say about this fight??? He is not even at the same level of fighters such as Pacquiao, Mayweather, and Marquez!!!
@the clown,
Let’s wait and see come November 13 if what you’re babbling will be true. But until then you’re the clown.
@pinoypower, you seem, dilusional. Margarito is 5’11, Manny The Clown will have to hit him many many times to break him down. Remember, Margarito comes to fight. He will be hitting Pacquiao in the face, gut and liver many times over. Those punches will also have an effect on Pacquiao.
I see this fight going well into the later rounds. Manny The Clown is the easiest fighter in the world to hit in boxing today! If The Clown gets cut, as he is prone to do, this adds another element.
I see Pacquiao getting cut very early!
MANNY THE CLOWN, YOUR NEXT OPPONENT COMES FROM THE GROUP BELOW
1) Mosely
2) Berto
3) Mayweather
4) Martinez
5) JMM
The midgets seem to think Pacquiao is some kind of superhero. Realistically, Margarito may not win, but he will disfigure The Clown’s face.
I see this fight going the full 12 rounds. Pacquiao will be slapping at Margaritos arms and shoulders connecting less often than people think.
Manny will taking a beating in this controversial win. Margarito needs a knock out over Manny The Clown. The judges will not give him a decision even if he overwhelms the Clown for 12 full rounds.
Writer says,
“Pacquiao keeps waiting for them to stop to begin his own shots, but if they keep throwing for extended periods of time, Pacquiao just looks to cover up and ride out the wave of shots.”
Hmmm…I’m thinking..Cotto’s knockdowns happened during exchanges, Hatton was KO’d while theyre on toe to toe..Oscar’s face was reconfigured during exchanges of punches again..Oh and Clottey was so fearful to open up for he learned the lesson well..
Are you people delusional this fight will be target practise fo pac, plaster man is a human punchbag who moves at the same speed as one the only reason he will last a few rounds is because hes one tough sob i agree with roach pac wil stop margacheato i round 6-7
yes!!!!berto is right the more pressure margaritto gives pacmam the more punches he got. 2rounds k.o.
“puncher says:

Margarito will be crushed in two rounds.”
are you in drugs???
it’s first round!!! wahahaha
Personal hatre of Chris Williams is back, keep on guessing up to Nov 13, because on Nov 14 you will not be around to comment, after being humiliated on your wild guisses, you never learn Mr. Williams, what prevails over you is your hatred and cannot really accept that a Filipino is the P4P king and acknowledge by the world as the best fighter. Your idol FMJ is in monastic silence asking for small time radio interviews just to be notice even barking at garbage subject, he is like you full of dirt.
Williams, what ever u write it’s not true. it just come up from ur dump brain, Manny hater, why? bz U said befor that u wil not watch this fight so how can u come up with that ideas. let’s try to get some information from ur #1 best P4P girl’s beater ever. where is he now?
Margarito will be crushed in two rounds.
Well said cheato needs to fight toe to toe and be the bigger guy .if he can start a jab before PAC gets off his own goin i see PAC man losin early rounds. It’s just hard to see cheato fighting like he did years ago. Berto ain’t ready yet for none of them,but I think cotto berto would be great for cotto. Berto always looks fat to me( for 147).I think he’ll gas in a hard fight(cotto).
IL SAY IT AGAIN MARGARITO IS GUNNA WIN JUST WAIT AND C
