Looked like the same old Berto to me. He walked on to shots, had no head movement, and was grabbing and holding on more than one occasion after a solid blow. Every time Upsher bit down on his gumshield and threw, it looked like he got to Berto - fortunately for Andre it was only once every couple of rounds.
Until he learns he can't be stationary in the pocket, he's going to suffer this. Unfortunately I think it indicates that Virgil Hunter is overrated because Berto showed no signs of the kind of defensive movement required. He still thinks he can dodge bullets.
