Another big weekend of exciting world class boxing is upon us. Puerto Rico\u2019s superb Juan Manuel Lopez, 30, 27 KO\u2019s, makes a routine defense of his WBO featherweight title against the game Orlando Salido, 34-11-2, 22 KO\u2019s, the former IBF featherweight champion. Salido is an interesting if uninspiring opponent given his last start, the loss of his title to the undefeated Yuriorkis Gamboa, Lopez\u2019 featherweight championship rival, and at the very least should prove to be a measuring stick of sorts until such time the two featherweight kingpins are matched in a mega fight.<\/p>\n

Andre Berto, 27-0, 21 KO\u2019s looks to makes his sixth title defense of his WBC welterweight title against the compelling and periodically explosive Victor Ortiz, 28-2-2, 22 KO\u2019s who is moving up from 140lbs for the opportunity. Berto has been accused of being a protected paper champion by some while others feel Ortiz is a talented no-hoper in over his head at 147 with nowhere to go at his natural weight.<\/p>\n

For me Juan Manuel Lopez keeps things on track with an early victory<\/p>\n

\u201cBad\u201d Brad Berkwitt<\/strong><\/p>\n

Juan Manuel Lopez wins by knockout. He has too much power for Orlando Salido which will end his night around the 4th round.<\/p>\n

Geno McGahee<\/strong><\/p>\n

I suspect that Juanma will be too strong and will\u00a0wear down his opponent down the stretch\u00a0en\u00a0route to a late stoppage.
\nMike Plunkett<\/strong><\/p>\n

Juan Manuel Lopez takes the win via 3rd round TKO, but will anybody care? A showdown with Yuriorkis Gamboa is what fans want.<\/p>\n

Andre Berto vs Victor Ortiz (WBC welterweight title)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Donald Stewart<\/strong><\/p>\n

Andre Berto with a unanimous decision with there still to be a big upset this year Victor Ortiz by a knockout or split decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cBad\u201d Brad Berkwitt<\/strong><\/p>\n

Andre Berto finally gets a tough fight, but in the end, he will pull out the unanimous over Victor Ortiz, somewhere in the range of 116-112.<\/p>\n

Geno McGahee<\/strong><\/p>\n

Andre Berto will have\u00a0some\u00a0rocky moments with the strong Victor Ortiz, but he is a\u00a0better fighter overall,\u00a0sharper, quicker, and should overcome an early shaky start to beat\u00a0Ortiz into submission by the 8th round.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mike Plunkett<\/strong><\/p>\n

On paper Andre Berto looks like the obvious winner. He\u2019s bigger as a natural welterweight and better rounded (at this point) than is Victor Ortiz, a Jekyll\/Hyde sort of fighter if there ever was one. If the best Victor Ortiz shows up the night will be interesting and the potential for an upset looms, but methinks Berto will do something very early to make Ortiz tentative, allowing Berto to have his way. I\u2019d love to see Ortiz upset the applecart but I expect Berto to prevail and retain his WBC welterweight title with a 6th round TKO.<\/p>\n
