It’s an exciting time in the welterweight division for boxing fans. With the return of former boxing pound for pound #1 Floyd Mayweather, the weight class adds his name to a list of big names which includes Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto, and Manny Pacquiao. The one name you don’t hear as often is undefeated young gun Andre Berto, who defends his WBC portion of the welterweight title this coming Saturday (May 30) on HBO (9:45 ET) against hard-punching Juan Urango. At 25, Berto finds himself not mentioned among the proposed “super fights” of division, as the established vets look to cash out through careful matchmaking.
But time is on Andre Berto’s side. And less than four years into his career, the Haitian star is reaching a level where even the older superstars won’t be able to ignore him much longer.
AllHipHop.com: First champ, thanks for making time while in training camp for the May 30 fight.
Andre Berto: Oh no problem man I appreciate it.
AllHipHop.com: This is your third defense of the WBC title. How has your training been going?
Berto: Training camp is going real well. I’ve been trying a lot of new things in this camp I haven’t done before. I brought some other members to the team. This is probably the best training I’ve ever had. It’s been hard and intense. I’m definitely in good shape.
