    DONE! Got To Become A Top Contender On Steroids, Failed A Test; Never The Same!

    We have no idea how good this guy really was, as he came on the scene. He became a top contender, then failed a random drug test for steroids. Since that failed test, the guy has fought hard, but had difficult endings. He's more or less done. He can hang around on his "name", and make some paydays, go beat an Erik Morales or a Paulie Mags. He claims to have torn his shoulder in this last fight he got stopped in, and although shoulders and broken hands happen in the game, often when steroid users quit taking steroids/PED's, and continue to compete at their high level, their body becomes riddled with injuries, ultimately & shortly ending the career. Berto is on his way out, whenever he's ran out of opportunities to make a paycheck fighting Friday Night Fight-level fighters.

      Lyle Fitzsimmons is the worst boxing writer on any major boxing news website, not including the ****stain that is Fighthype.

          I was rooting for Berto and thought he should have been allowed to continue. You're talking about a warrior here. He needs to ditch Virgil Hunter and find someone who can modify his style to utilize his athleticism to be a slick boxer, and show him head and body movement because in this fight he had none. Virgil was just being a cheerleader in the corner. Someone should have already told him to avoid the shoulder roll and just slip.

            berto can still give exciting fights but he will lose all of them. if haymon wants andre in winnable fights then he literally has to pick opponents up at bus stops.

              Berto's chin has been the source of a lot of entertainment. I'm in.

                Berto hasn't been the same since the Mosley fight was canceled...
                To make it worse dude squares up to throw a punch like a freaking high school kid in an after school fight, LOL! He will still get fights but he wont beat any of the top 147 much less 154 lb fighters.
