Berto was impressive. He landed really hard, clean punches just about every punch he threw. He's pretty fast for his size, and powerful as well. Those head shots were killing Trabant and the result was no surprise. Keep and eye on Berto, he will do great things in the future. -

It took him alot of extremely clean hard punches to get Trabant out of there though. His power might not be as great as some are rating. and it's pretty hard to mount any kind of successfull defense if your Trabant who's punches couldn't at all hurt Berto. He really needs to step up the opposition. Credit to Trebant for hanging in and taking some punches.Berto was impressive. He landed really hard, clean punches just about every punch he threw.

Trabant has a good chin and a good defense. The only punches that landed cleanly were the uppercuts. Berto has good power and fast hands. I believe he is the sleeper the division. Whoever wins out between Margarito, Cotto, and FLoyd, can look forward to Andre Berto waiting for them.It took him alot of extremely clean hard punches to get Trabant out of there though.

Trabant definitely looked like a guy last night that was in above his head. It seemed he was surviving rather than fighting, but Berto did what he had to do. His hand and offensive variety is good. Maybe a few more shots to the body, but he pretty much showed everything offensively last night. The question is his defense as he has seemed there to be hit and sometimes doesn't move and stands in front of his opponent. The WW divsion is tough at the moment, but I think it's time for Berto to step up and fight somebody in the second half of the top ten.Comment
