Talk about a buzz kill. I was taking a look at the upcoming boxing schedule, contemplating my next prediction post to write this week. And then I saw this. 
I know it’s simply a case of bad luck, with Andre Berto suffering a fight-postponing injury before his upcoming rematch against Victor Ortiz.
But coupled with the never-ending saga that is the Mayweather-Pacquiao melodrama, the postponement of this fight is truly disappointing.
That means there isn’t really a significant boxing match until February 25, when Marcos Maidana travels to St. Louis, Missouri to take on Devon Alexander. That fight promises to be a dandy but that’s still nearly a month away.
Back to Berto-Ortiz II
If and when they do in fact meet again, it will be interesting to see if Berto’s biceps injury adversely affects his chances against Ortiz. I predict a Berto victory, but in a fight that is close to a "pick ’em," the injury could be an x-factor that tips the outcome in Ortiz’s favor.
Should each fighter decide to go a different direction when Berto heals up, they both loom as potential opponents for the aforementioned chumps, I mean, champs named Mayweather and Pacquiao, respectively.
I obviously do not believe that Mayweather or Pacquiao are chumps, nor do I blame Berto and Ortiz for not fighting in a week. But can’t I just be a little mad?
"Boxing, you really make it hard sometimes."
