The final judges’ scores were 116-110, 116-110, and 116-110, all for Guerrero. Berto was knocked down twice in the fight. He was knocked down in the 1st round after Guerrero grabbed him around the back of the head with his right hand and held and hit him with four big shots that knocked him down. It’s unclear why the referee didn’t waive off the knockdown because it was a clear case of holding and hitting by Guerrero.

Andre Berto v Robert Guerrero: Mismatch

by

Image: Andre Berto v Robert Guerrero: MismatchBy Peter Broderick: Robert Guerrero (30-1-1, 18ko’s)’s second outing as a welterweight takes place this weekend at the Citizens Business Bank Arena against Andre Berto (28-1-0, 22ko’s). A classy boxer at featherweight and super featherweight “The Ghost” brought his weight up to fight as a lightweight and continued to look good, going on to capture interim world titles.

After a year out of the sport due to an illness to his wife he returned to the ring on the 28th of July this year, this time even bigger again having skipped two weight classes to battle for the vacant interim WBC title at welterweight. He accomplished this at the expense of Selcuk Aydin and looked relatively comfortable at 145lbs, a whole 20lbs heavier than when he earned his first title 8 years previous. But there’s a big difference between looking good against Aydin and surviving against an aggressive fast starter like Berto.

In other words, Berto wants to really demoralize Guerrero to the point where he’s a physically and mentally beaten fighter on Saturday.

Berto said in his HBO promo video “I just wanna just go in there and just take his manhood from him. Everything he stands for. Everything he wants to be. Let’s take everything.”

Guerrero has got a lot of skills and a southpaw stance to go along with it.

Berto told the Boxing Channel “He’s [Guerrero] pretty mechanical. He does everything by a textbook. Not too much speed, not too much power. My advantage is speed and power.”
