Bleacher Report
| Expert | Prediction |
|---|---|
| Kevin McRae | Mayweather by unanimous decision |
[sc:Other240banner ]Kevin McRae is having none of the upset talk heading into Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s 49th professional fight. He notes that while the media and fans dismiss the bout against Andre Berto as mostly a showcase fight, Mayweather would still treat it as seriously as he did Manny Pacquiao, Canelo Alvarez and the like.
McRae notes that Mayweather is superior in boxing ability, defense and ring smarts. While he concedes the power advantage to Berto, Mayweather should emerge as a victor by unanimous decision, 119-109.
International Business Times
| Expert | Prediction |
|---|---|
| Anthony Riccobono | Mayweather by unanimous decision |
Anthony Riccobono of International Business Times notes that Berto is the biggest underdog to face Mayweather recently, which at +1,500 would be a monumental upset. But Riccobono doesn’t give Berto much of a chance to beat this generation’s pound-for-pound champ.
While Berto should make for an entertaining fight with his aggression, Mayweather’s defensive prowess should make for some lulls in action. None of Mayweather’s recent opponents have connected on more than 26 percent of their punches. Riccobono’s pick: Mayweather via unanimous decision.
Fight Insight

But Berto doesn’t have the talent to keep up with the pound-for-pound great. Mayweather batters Berto en route to a late corner stoppage.
