Review: 2011-09-03, nice and tough fight between Andre Berto (27-1-0) and Jan Zaveck (31-1-0). Unfortunately the fight ended by referee technical decision at the end of the fifth round, if not Berto vs Zaveck could be one of the best boxing fights of 2011. Berto defeated Zaveck and won the IBF welterweight title. Andre Berto entered as the #4 welterweight in the world while Jan Zaveck entered as the #5 welterweight. Watch the video!

Berto did what was expected of him, but his defense from getting hit with uppercuts is still lacking their of. If I was his trainer, I would train him to be a defensive inside fighter because he do have decent speed and power, and that will play major role in his style of fighting.
