    Comments Thread For: Andre Berto To Undergo Surgery To Repair Shoulder

    (LOS ANGELES, CALIF.) - Former two-time Welterweight World Champion Andre Berto (Winter Haven, Fla.) will undergo surgery to repair a torn tendon in his right shoulder on Wednesday in Los Angeles. Berto suffered the painful and debilitating injury in the second round of his July 27th bout with Jesus Soto Karass at the At&T Center in San Antonio, and was forced to endure the majority of the fight with one arm. Wednesday's surgery will repair the main supporting tendon of the rotator cuff in Berto's right shoulder.

    "I threw a punch in the second round and when Soto Karass blocked it, my right upper arm connected with his and it felt like fire shot through my arm," Berto said. "I had no power at all in that right arm and couldn't hold it up to defend myself. I kept trying to use it, but midway through the fight, I realized I couldn't and just tried to work my left hand and throw jabs. I threw it instinctually in the heat of the battle later in the fight and yelled from the pain shooting through my arm. I could see that Soto Karass and the referee heard me, and the referee and doctor kept coming to the corner between rounds to check on the injury but there was no way I was going to quit."

    Unfortunately Berto will probably use this as an excuse to keep fighting (or at least fight the same way).

    He's the new Jermaine Taylor.

      Would probably take more steroids or PED to help him heal back to normal, this is what a lot of athletes do when they are recovering from major surgery especially if its their shoulders.

          for sure...

          both relied on athleticism and physical gifts that eventually caught up to them. both have a big heart and go out on their shield.

            After surgery he should take a year or 2 off then come back and fight a couple tune ups before having another meaningful fight.
