the ref really ruined that fight for me. his stern warnings and finger pointing to berto....followed by soft warnings to guerrero who was really dirty throughout....not a good look for the cali commission. i thought they were both guilty of holding, so i get how that one nullifies...but guerrero lead with his head all night and i didn't recall hearing any warnings for that. i was equally disappointed that berto had no answer for guerrero leading with his head. he should have been sweeping the head or pulling down on the back of his head to stop him from doing it. guerrero hit low repeatedly....the ref let him get away with murder and i forget which commentator said it...but yes, berto was fighting two men in the ring. if i'm an opponent of a golden boy fighter...there is no way in hell i'm going to cali to fight him after witnessing this bullshit and the way mares' opponents have been getting the short end of the stick. (see mares/darchinyan,agbeko 1&2 and moreno)

i thought guerrero could have won without all that unnecessary bullshit. he did control the action and did a great job of smothering. he took some hellacious shots from berto and kept coming. is it enoiugh to get him a shot at floyd? probably not...but i do believe he's carving out his place in the division. someone mentioned him fighting ortiz, lopez or maidana...i think he beats them all. i'd much rather see him face bradley. i'd favor bradley in that one.

Same for me. This isn't the first time I've seen guerrero fight this way, he is a cheat.

if my memory serves me correctly...he's been dq'ed for fighting dirty in the past. he's a very skilled guy who shouldn't have to resort to that bullshit. says something about his character imo.
