By Jason Kim: Unbeaten WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto (26-0, 20 KO’s) could be facing undefeated Turkish knockout artist Selcuk Aydin (20-0, 15 KO’s) on the undercard of the lightweight title fight between Juan Maniel marquez and Michael Katsidis on November 27th, at the MGM Arena, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

According to boxing news from the Los Angeles Times, the Berto vs. Aydin fight would wind up on the undercard as the co-main event. Lou Dibella, Berto’s promoter, says the fight “Should be done this week if it’s going to happen.”

Hopefully, it does because it would be interesting to see Berto fight another light welterweight. Aydin isn’t the fight that Berto and Dibella wanted, however. They wanted Andriy Kotelnik, a former WBA light welterweight. He’s better known than Aydin, but he’s yet another light welterweight.

Berto looks great against small guys but it would be nice if he stuck to fighting opponents from his own weight class. I’d like to see Berto face unbeaten welterweight contender Mike Jones. Do I see that happening? No, not in a million years.

HBO isn’t interested in the Aydin-Berto fight, because Aydin is pretty much unknown. However, Berto doesn’t have much choice in fighting Aydin unless he wants to give up his WBC title and Berto probably won’t be doing that. Berto should be able to beat Aydin unless he gets hit with some of Aydin’s hard shots.

This could be a lot tougher fight than Berto’s bouts against Juan Urango, Luis Collazo, Steve Forbes and Carlos Quintana, because Aydin has a good chin and he loads up on everything he throws.

Given that Berto’s defense is pretty poor, he could end up taking a lot of punishment in this fight. Aydin fights really well in close and is somewhat similar to Marcos Maidana with his fighting style. Berto likes to use a lot of clinching in his fights nowadays.

If he does this with Aydin, he could get hit a lot because Aydin is good at landing powerful shots when fighting head to head with his opponents. Berto will have to come up with a completely different style of fighting if he wants to avoid getting hurt by Aydin.
