It’s not only surprising for all the boxing fans but for experts as well to see Mayweather choose an opponent with such limited recognition. Berto entered the welterweight fight as a major underdog.
Though the 31-year-old won his last two rights, he gained respect through his losses. Berto also had some shining victories over veterans like Josesito Lopez, LuizCollazo, and Steve Forbes. But his short to fame was a brutal bout with Roberto Guerrero. While he lost the bout, people regarded it to be the best fight of 2012.
But unlike his old opponents, Berto will now have a beast like Mayweather, who is regarded as the most intelligent boxers in boxing history. Floyd has the quality of controlling the pace of the fight and does not let the opponent take hold of it.
However, fans of Berto can hope of a victory if he sticks to a smart game plan and takes the right chances at the right time.
What can turn in Berto’s favour since odds are stacked against him, is his opponents over-confidence which he gained after his lucrative victory over Manny Pacquiao.
Let’s see what are the ways, Berto can take to create a stir in the boxing ring against Mayweather.
The first thing that Berto needs to do is not let Mayweather dictate the urgency of rounds. Berto should not push the fight till the end but should chase his opponent in the opening rounds. And this he could do by tiring him up. Berto need avoid Mayweather’s punches as much as possible with agility inside the ring.
Berto should not let himself being used as bait by Mayweather as Floyd has the art of using his defensive tactic to frustrate his opponents. Berto should avoid committing any mistake as the starry Mayweather thrives off his opponents’ mistakes.
Mayweather’s opponent should stay active and defensive in the opening rounds. Berto can hope to surprise Floyd with flurries in the middle rounds. Berto can work towards delivering clean shots towards Mayweather as Floyd often wins power-punch exchanges. Berto should take a page out of Marcos Maidana’s playing strategies in 2014.
