前次中量级世界冠军安德烈·贝托上周六晚在纽约点数前冠军德文·亚历山大。
今年9月即将年满35岁的贝托正在寻找更大更好的机会。这是贝托(32-5，24KO)16个月来的第一场比赛，在2017年4月争夺WBC拳王头衔时，被肖恩·波特TKO。
贝托最近接受了维吉尔·亨特的训练，他对自己的表现非常满意。
贝托说:“在这一年半的时间里，我有一个很棒的训练营。我本可以更好地使用我的刺拳并且投入更多组合，尽管如此，我还是能够进行调整，在内侧出拳以减缓他的速度。我认为这是一个证明，即使我已经快35岁了，但我仍然很敏锐，能够很好地完成比赛。
基于我的名字和15年来在比赛中的名声，人们知道和我比赛总是令人兴奋的，我的战斗力仍然在，我可以和任何对手抗争，可能性是无限的。斯彭斯是那种坚强年轻的雄鹿，但我不会退缩，这会是一场令人兴奋的战斗。
就像我和亚历山大展示的那样，我的战斗力仍然还在。瑟曼就像我的小弟弟，每次他和我的名字在谈话中被提起时，我们都不会多说什么。我只是想看到他做得很好，但是如果我们之间的斗争是有意义的，我们肯定能做到，为了赚钱我可以和他们中的任何一个人对抗。
Berto: I Still Have That Dog in Me - Won't Back Down From Spence!
Former welterweight world champion Andre Berto is ready for bigger and better things after winning a close twelve round split decision over fellow former champ Devon Alexander last Saturday night in Uniondale, New York.
Berto, who turns 35 in September, is looking for bigger and better opportunities.
It was the first bout for Berto (32-5, 24 KOs) in 16 months after suffering a ninth-round TKO loss to Shawn Porter in a WBC world title eliminator in April 2017.

Berto, who is trained by Virgil Hunter, was very pleased with his performance.
“I had a great training camp after being out for a good year-and-a-half, but I could have used my jab better and thrown more combinations,” said Berto to Premier Boxing Champions. “Still, I was able to adjust, landing punches on the inside to slow him down.
“I think this was a testament showing that, even at almost 35, I’m still sharp, able to close out strong, and that, based on my name and reputation in the game for 15 years, people know a fight with me will always be exciting. At the end of the day, I still have that dog in me and I’m a great fight for anybody, so the possibilities are endless.”
Berto is very close to WBA champion Keith Thurman, but he's willing to face him. And he won't back away from a potential fight with IBF welterweight champion Errol Spence, who has a hard time locking down opponents.
“Spence is one of those guys who is a tough, young buck, but I won’t back down, so, of course, that would be an exciting fight because, like I showed [with Alexander], I’m just a dog,” said Berto.
“Thurman is like my little brother, and every time his name and mine are thrown up in conversation, we don’t really speak to much on that. I just wanna see him do well, but if a fight between us makes sense, we can make it happen, for sure. I’ll give any of these guys a run for their money.” |
