Andre Berto tops Steve Forbes

Andre Berto W12 Steve Forbes... Another big fight, another loss for an alumnus of the Contender reality show. In California, undefeated Andre Berto retained his WBC welterweight belt with a unanimous decision over Steve Forbes, a former 130-pound titlist and later a reality show contestant. Berto's power, hand speed and top notch conditioning led to a 118-109 (twice) and 116-111 verdict. Berto is now 23-0 and has slowly but steadil been increasing his level of competition. The only question left for the 5'8" welterweight to answer is how he would fare against a six-foot tall opponent. Forbes, 33-7, has now lost four of his last five, although two were controversial decisions. He very well may retire after this loss. source: hbo world championship boxing
