    Berto Talks About His Win

    Editor: Andre, give us some thoughts on your big win.

    Andre Berto: "It was a real good fight for me. I fought a tough veteran and I broke him down. I basically showed a different side of me. I'm gradually getting more experience under my belt."

    Editor: There were times, during the fight, that you could have taken him out a little earlier. Were you trying to get some rounds in?

    Andre Berto: Definitely, I hurt him a few times, but I wanted to back off and use some of the things we had worked on.

    Editor: What are you taking away from this fight and this experience?

    AB: It's just another win under my belt. He was tough, and he forced me to work. It was good work.

    Editor: Give us your thoughts on the fight we just saw, Williams-Quintana.

    AB: Quintana came to win, and he did take the win. He got a belt tonight.

    Editor: Is it possible for a Berto-Quintana fight next?

    AB: Anything is possible. We've just got to go back to the drawing board, talk to the team, and see what's next.

    Editor: Are you wanting to take another step up, and go for the championship against Quintana, or are you going to want to get some more rounds in first?

    AB: It depends, everything is right there for me. I'm ranked #1 in two of the sanctioning bodies, so I'm just ready for whatever right now. It's going to be a big year for me.

      Berto looks like the real deal. I can't wait to see him fight again.

        I thought Berto looked pretty good, with wicked hand speed and pretty good power and accuracy. Obviously he's still a bit green, but I think he will go far.

              He needs to stop fighting guys like Trabant and he needs to improve his defense.

                He should be getting a title shot by next year. Time to face some of the lower 10 top guys or top 15 guys to get some more ring experience.

                  they are bringing him along slow for a reason, he needs it and is not ready for the top level, its pretty obvious he relies a lot on pure athleticism but makes a lot of mistakes in the process.

                    he needs to fight a real guy with some power in his fists, it's time for berto to learn a lil lesson now before he gets to used to fighting featherfisted pillow punchers and gets really ****ed up when he fights a top guy
