By Babatis Banda: Even for me, a staunch Floyd Mayweather Jr. supporter, the news came as a surprise that Mayweather Jr. will be fighting Andre Berto on September 12th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. I never dreamt Berto would be in Mayweather’s radar at any given time despite having been a world champion once, and carrying only three losses to his record.
Berto was disfigured, if not maimed by one of Floyd Mayweather’s victims, Robert Guerrero. He also lost to Victor Ortiz who was clearly out boxed and frustrated by Mayweather’s boxing smarts until he decided to foul Floyd for possibly an easier way out.
