Berto Talks About His Win

[Addison]

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.

This doesn't surprise me. ^^

Berto has a shallow well, and he has zero awareness of it.

i dont think he does at all????

I like this guy.....He's my new mini Lacy. Just hopefully he isn't moved to fast and thrown the the wolves like Lacy sort of was. I know now there is not a fighter on this planet with only 21 pro bouts under his belt thats ready to challenge Joe Calzaghe. Hell Kessler proved that with 39 fights under his belt.

they wont throw him to the wolves... his promotors and managers know they have a possible gold mine... and there gonna milk it slowly... i think they have his best intentions at heart, and theyve showed that with their gradual step up in competition... i think they thought trabant would be a lot better than he was... he was 42-2... who knew hes be terrible...

I agree.......I decided last night to drop Winky from my top 5 favorite fighters and move Berto up to 4 while adding Keith Thurman to 5th. He is a local fighter that just turned pro. I went ot his debut in Oct. He is now 2-0 2 first round KOs. He fights at 154 and should be a force in the future.

i would like to see him against a top ten conteder. clottey, judah, etc.

Nah Judah would hurt him, that's not a good fight for him just yet.

After Cotto is done with Gomez, Berto should try to fight him

yeah there you go... i like that idea

Berto did try to fight some contenders, I believe Gomez and Chavez Jr turned down a fight with him (read that on this website) so there weren't that many options for him. Cotto would destroy him though, he feeds on undefeated prospects or champions. A Quintana fight would be good, maybe the winner of Cintron-Margarito

Both Cintron and Marg would be too much for him right now...im pretty sure he could hold his own but im not sure he would come out victorious...hes just too green right now...he gets hit very often, although he did show some head movement on this fight he still doesnt seem fast defensivley...hes all offense at this point ala meldrick taylor.

[THE REED]

yeah hes 70 offensive 30 defense... he needs more backward quick footmovement like mayweather and more head movement thats for sure
