By Allan Fox: Former IBF/WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto (28-2, 22 KO’s) is now being trained by Virgil Hunter for Berto’s fight against Jesus Soto Karass (27-8-3, 17 KO’s) next month on July 27th at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas.
Berto is hoping that Hunter can get his career back on the tracks after a 12 round unanimous decision loss to Robert “The Ghost’ Guerrero last November.
The defeat was Berto’s second loss in his last three fights and a clear sign that there are some serious problems with Berto’s game.
Berto said to ESPN, “I know I have all the talent in the world. Now it’s time to fine-tune the skill. Virg is someone I’ve known since I was a kid…we’re testing things out with this fight and seeing where things go.”
