I have yet to go back and watch the fight (while sober), so I'll save my reassessment and harp on what happened last night (what a loser I am). Nothing about Guerrero made me like him any more than before, after his performance last night. He commenced to smothering and was a complete jerkoff in the post-fight interview.

How can he cut Berto off, and he was allowed to speak during his interview? After being an utter piece of shit, he grabs the mic and goes into an obligatory, bullshit, religious-related, clean-up speech about his Lord & Savior. Dude, you were being an asshole like .02 seconds ago....kill that noise.

How many weight classes has Guerrero moved up? He's come from 122-147 with NO issues? He was getting hit flush by a full-fledged WW, and...nothing? Hmm...I'll be the first asshole to point the PED finger and make an assumption...just for the sake of being an asshole.

As someone mentioned earlier, Berto is too big to be getting punked around the ring like that. It's crazy how he just can't seem to keep the fight in the center of the ring, where Guerrero tried his hardest to avoid. Dude, work on your legs.

I just couldn't get with Guerrero's smothering, along with him grabbing Berto and punching him at the same time. I usually gripe about Berto clinching too much, but what else could he have done last night? He fought a dirty but determined Guerrero and the couch-potato ref who was on autopilot all night.

I kinda felt bad for Berto, but he needed a fight like that last night...to shake off the inactivity and prove that he's still a warrior. I'm not convinced that he's an elite fighter, but he can still hang with B-level fighters. He has A LOT of work to do, and he can start by getting a new trainer, or at least an assistant trainer, and get rid of that loud ass dad of his. I heard that Haitian mumbo jumbo all freakin' night...how annoying.

Anyhow, great fight, for what it was worth. I still think Guerrero gets fleeced by other WWs like Lopez, Ortiz (yeah...Ortiz), and Maidana (who has discovered the jab after all these years, lol).

PSA: Don't take this the wrong way, but after reading comments sections and other forums since the fight, I've seen waaay too many johnny-come-lately fans who are crowing Guerrero as their next Hispanic Hero because he beat Berto. C'mon man, some of those mofos were crying how tired they were of Guerrero months ago. He's NOT gonna get a Floyd fight, and if he does, I'll be surprised. Ortiz got the Floyd fight because he SELLS TICKETS, was built as the next Oscar, and he was the first to impressively beat Berto. Guerrero still has some heavy lifting to do, so he may wanna set his fights on Maidana or Lopez in the meantime.
