BoxingScene.com was informed that Andre Berto (22-0, 19KOs)�first defense of the WBC welterweight title against former champion Steve Forbes (33-6, 9KOs) is moving forward for September 27 at the Staples Center in�Los Angeles, California.

The fight will lead off the HBO telecast featuring Shane Mosley vs. Ricardo Mayorga in the main event.�Berto's team is hoping their fighter can do something that Oscar De La Hoya was unable to do in May. They want Berto to become the first man to knock Forbes out. It won't be easy and Berto should get a decent test against boxer who showed in May that he still knows how to be slick and use the ring.

Forbes was very undersized against De La Hoya, but Berto is only 5'8 1/2 in heigth to Forbes' 5'7 1/2.

[QUOTE=mangler;3862836]I respect both guys. I think it'll be a good fight but watch Forbes upset him. LMAO.[/QUOTE] Yea this is too big of a step-up for Berto, he'll lose by decision and Forbes will make him look like an amateur.

Good Card! To good matchups as well! Moseley may have a bit of trouble with Mayorga though!
