Zaveck vs Berto this weekend...then Bailey?

[USBAdguy88]

TDA mentioned this fight somewhere else so I thought I'd start this...Can't say I've seen Zaveck fight more than what I've seen on Youtube, but I think the main factor here is where Berto's head is at after that war he had with Ortiz...he didn't get blow out but he suffered some serious adversity and came out on the short end of the stick...will is mess with his confidence to engage...will he improve now that he has lost a match...or is Zaveck going to prove that he is in fact really championship mettle in this bout?

Berto can win this on hand speed alone if he is willing to make it a bland fight of potshots and moving around the ring a lot. Then again he might feel the need to impress and get into a slug-fest with hopes of a highlight reel KO...

I think Zaveck has to be patient and time Berto to stand a chance, odds are even with being the better technical fighter he won't get off first, so he might have to make this more of a poor man's Pacquiao vs. JMM sort of scenario IMO where he times and counters the faster Berto...

Also one of my favorite fighters to watch is fighting that same night (not sure if its televised, I doubt it) Randall Bailey who it seems has been fighting IBF eliminators the past two years is likely going to get the title shot against the winner...He is possibly the best pure one punch guy I have seen in person with that right hand...I would love to see Berto vs. Bailey if the Haitian can get by Zaveck...I don't think anyone stateside would air Zaveck/Bailey...but they would show Berto/Bailey...

It has the makings of a good one.

I have said this before but he just did not anticipate the Victor Ortiz that showed up. He confirmed it by saying something to the effect, " i did not plan on that much pressure." He got out worked. I think tipping point was Victors conditioning. Andre was covering up , taking brakes, to early. That is a learning experience for him. Either way, he fought hard and did not just give away his title.

I know very little about Zaveck but i do know his has a following in his country.

Randall Bailey is definitely almost never in a boring fight. Either he's getting stopped, or he's stopping the other guy. Or he's throwing the other guy out of the ring over the top rope.

I believe Berto will win easily.Zavek is a good boxer but Andre is gonna come in ready for this fight.Would love to see a rematch of him and Ortiz.

Dejan Zavec (this is his real name) will outbox Berto to a decision or a late stoppage. Zavec has too much heart an iron chin and conditioning for days, so my pick is Zavec. But I think it's gonna be a fun fight and it's a shame that not a lot of people know about this fight.

I can belive a few of yall are picking Zavek to win. I was thinking Berto would wim by KO in the mid rds but if yall are True Belivers in Zavek, then I am realy starting to get pumped now. I am a fan of Berto and if the dude can put him in a fight, great, for us the fans.

FIGHTHYPE \\ RANDALL BAILEY EYEING ZAVECK-BERTO WINNER

Smart move by Bailey...if Berto wins its a big fight on HBO, if Zaveck wins impressively it might still be on HBO...if not then he still gets a chance to turn off Zaveck's lights in Europe like he would have anyway...


In the end it doesn't matter because Bailey to going to KTFO of whoever wins Sat. night...

I'm surprised there isn't more buzz regarding this fight.
