    How can a fan of boxing hate on Andre Berto?

    HBO doesn't pay him squat. Plus we're lucky he's on free HBO because there are alot of people like myself that would quickly lash out $59.95 to watch him perform; he's that entertaining. How can you hate this?

    That's back when he had a crowd pleasing style though. Now he's just a boring ass hugger who gets preferential treatment from the refs.

        I swear he's hugged ever since Cosme Rivera dropped him.

        His hugging and his backhanded jab annoy the hell out of me.

        What bothers me most is he has the tools and quickness not to fight like that, but he loves that punch and hug thing.

          He has awful timing which is why he is hit so easily but opponents much slower than himself, I would go as far as to say he has not improved one bit from his earliest fights as a pro.

            Wow is no one picking up on this?

            Take a look around NSB today, and I think you'll get the joke.

                You'd think his speed would help with that, like he could get out quick and get back in but bolts in gets caught and hugs.

                He irks me because he's speedy and punches well, throws fundamentally nice shots but his spacing and timing suck it's true.
