Experts Picks and Predictions for Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Andre Berto

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

Ja Dawson | Mayweather by technical knockout (corner stoppage)

Ja Dawson of Fight Insight said that Mayweather may have already won the fight before it even got started. Berto isn’t much of a challenge, considering that he lost three of his last six fights. The real question is exactly how Mayweather will win the fight. Dawson notes that Money hasn’t had a knockout since a sucker-punch technical knockout of Victor Ortiz in 2011. 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.

Top Bet

Expert | Prediction
Top Bet | Mayweather by technical knockout

Everybody knows that Mayweather is a master tactician capable of outlanding his opponents using pinpoint accuracy. He can also switch up his approach midway through the fight when things aren’t going his way. Mayweather should land punches in bunches throughout the fight. Top Bet believes that Berto is too fragile to survive the whole 12 rounds with the best pound-for-pound boxer of this generation. Mayweather wins by technical knockout in the eighth round.
