Berto was very brave and did a good fight despite the fact of having a shoulder injury. I feel bad about him because he is a good boxer and the latest scores are ruining his carier.

Great fight.
Berto showed heart. Fighting most of the fight one handed. His speed allowing him to hold his ground. He really needs to get off the weights. Does him no good.
Dont like the ref. 1 for the 2nd low blow by Berto.
Was far worse than the first. Replay shows he clearly saw it but called it a knock down. And also for not giving a full count and making Berto walk to him. Berto looked at him and got up on 3. Probably a bit to fast but the ref should have counted to 8 and made him walk to him to test. Then it would have been OK to call the TKO.
Since I had Karass ahead by 2 going into the 12 (did score the the knock down – tied that round) the kick TKO was mute.
Good fight though I personally think the stoppage was premature. Poor Berto, just can’t get a break!
