My experience at Ten Goose Gym in Van Nuys, meeting Ricky Funez and Andre Berto

Berto laps up attention, loves it.

Berto sounds like an egotistical douche, he looks like one too. Should have called him a dirty steroid cheat.

bro you sound like a little kid. you're mad he didn't say bye to you and other fans? he's there to workout. maybe if this was at a bar or a social event, but he's at the gym to workout.

No doubt Berto is c*cky but you're a grown man dude... makes me cringe when you act like a little kid expecting him to say bye to you when he leaves the gym. Nothing worse than a guy ass kiss you, then come home and talk sh*t about you on the internet. You should've stopped trying the moment he acted arrogantly. Not everybody is nice.

Last weekend me and my friends were in LA for the Lopez-Maidana fight so I decided to get some training in at a world class gym on Saturday before the fight. I have to point out that with-out a doubt, Ricky Funez is one of the nicest, down to earth people I have ever met. We went in on Friday before they were closing up to ask if I could train there the next day. He told me of course and that it would be $10. He talked boxing to my friends and I for a few minutes and after we told him we were going to the Lopez-Maidana fight, he invited us to follow them to the fight after the gym closed on Saturday. The next day I show up to train and he sees me and greets me really humbly telling me to get to work. He did not charge me to use the gym and we later saw him after the fights at the Home Depot Center and he gos "hey guys!" and came up to us to talk, really cool nice person. Andre Berto is kind of a jerk and thinks hes the ish. He showed up about an hour later and started to warm up and do his thing. I was on one of the heavy bags when he passed by me and I went up to him to greet him "hey Andre, Im a big fan of yours." All he did is nod his head as to say "yeah, I get that alot." Later on, I was sitting down against the front and was drinking some water so I thought I would take my phone out and get a pic of him hitting the bag. He saw me with my camera and told his buddy to tell me that I cant use my camera. Later on, Im on the heavy bag again and hes sitting by me on the ring. I go up to him and tell him "hey man Im sorry for using my camera I didnt knw." He again nodded as if to say "what ever." There was 3 other people left in the gym when he left and he didnt care say bye to a fan. If I am a famous boxer and a fan comes up to greet me telling me he is my fan, I am going to say "thank you for your support I appreciate it." If he then comes up to me saying sorry for using his camera on me, I am going to say "Its cool dont worry about it, its just that..." Before I leave the gym, I am going to make sure that I go up to my fan and say goodbye. When I would hear people hate on Berto, I would always back him up. I have always been a fan of his. Ive met other boxers that are bigger names than him and were much nicer and humble. Victor Ortiz comes to mind, a guy that beat his ass. I remember he started a 2 minute conversation with me while being surrounded by other fans wanting pics and autographs from him. I also remember Robert Garcia and Nonito Donaire were talking to my trainer and I at the Ward-Bika fight. They got up to talk to some people that they knew and were about 20 feet away by the ring. When they were done talking to those people, they could have just left but I was shocked that they remembered us and turned around, came up to us to shake our hands and say good bye, then they left. Sergio Martinez is another really nice and humble person that I got to meet and talk to. But Im not gonna lie, it was still pretty cool training right next to Andre. did he give you some of his stash?

I see it like this: if Berto is at a gym, he is there to work out. Do you want to be bothered and asked things all the time during work? And another thing: I have met a few famous people by accident on the street and I have never even once asked them for a picture or talked to them. Simply because if I were in their position, I wouldn't want strangers to come up to me and talk to me. I am not saying you did something wrong, all I am saying is - put yourself in Berto's shoes: guys who ask him for pictures or talk to him out of the blue is nothing new to Berto. I bet it happens every day lots of times to him. Imagine he would talk to everybody - you think he would have 5 minutes to train?

I bet you rewatched Berto Vs Ortiz Berto Vs Guerrero to see him get his a$$ kicked after that sour encounter. Hey you never know, maybe he has to deal with a lot of haters and has to keep a f@ked up front so no one would f#k with them. Seen it a couple of times at the MGM.

That should have told you right there he's a dick.
