If you have HBO and can watch it, see a replay of Berto v. Guerrero
 

These guys locked horns last night in what has to be the most intense fight I've seen all year. It was a brutal, brilliant, beautiful war from the opening bell. Guerrero dropped Berto twice in the first two rounds but Berto recovered and hung in and they went ten more rounds of all-out action. The fight could win the fight of the year award and the 12th round should be round of the year. Both guys looked like they'd been through a war at the end. Even Max Kellerman, who interviewed them in the ring afterwards was effusive in his praise. And watch the interview--sparks continued to fly while the two were talking.

Not the prettiest fight in the world, but a brutal, brutal bout with lots of old school tactics by Guerrero, who impressed me coming up in weight.

Berto showed a ton of heart, fighting with little or no vision for a good portion of the fight, and getting in plenty of licks himself. Guerrero showed an excellent beard.

another recent fight that was great (but may be difficult to find) is the viloria-marquez fight.

is guerrero next for mayweather?
