EA Sports had their "Fight Night Round 4" employee release party yesterday.

President of EA Sports Peter Moore introduced former two-time world champion, Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero, former WBC light middleweight champion Sergio "The Latin Snake" Mora and current WBC welterweight champion, Andre Berto as special guests, all of whom will be featured in the game. More...

Last night at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel in Hollywood, FL, Andre Berto retained his WBC welterweight title with a superb points win against challenger Juan Urango.

Urango, the current IBF light welter titlist, employed his trademark pressure approach from the start but had difficulty in finding the target as Berto didn't stick around to be hit.

The champion employed good footwork and showed his cat-quick reflexes in avoiding the tear up that Urango wanted, giving the Colombian challenger a crisp boxing lesson instead.

Berto showed his class in zipping in stinging single shots and sharp counters, mostly upstairs, and controlled the pace enroute to a well deserved 118-110 twice and 117-111 points victory. More...

Unbeaten Andre Berto continues his run as WBC welterweight champion tonight at the Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Florida when defends his crown against two-time IBF light welter champion Juan Urango.

This is the 3rd defence of the title for the 25 year old American. After distance defences against Steve Forbes and Luis Collazo, Berto now meets a man better known as a rugged 140 pounder in Urango.

Berto has 19 KO's in 25 wins. He has fast hands, but on the negative side he did seem to tire in his 12 round win over Collazo.

In Urango, he meets a man who will be in his face all night. Although Urango is the naturally smaller man, Berto will have to be careful with Urango's body punching, which could again slow the champion down.

British fans, of course, will know Urango from his 12 round points defeat against Ricky Hatton back in January, 2007.

If we use that fight as a marker, it was interesting to note that Hatton chose to box carefully when he realised he wasn't going to stop his opponent. In fact, that fight showed Hatton at his most cagey, which says a lot for the danger that Urango threatens. More...

Memorial Day weekend may mark the unofficial start of the summer, but the heat really picks up on Saturday, May 30th, as the most explosive boxing doubleheader of the year takes place at the Hard Rock Live, featuring the welterweight title bout between Andre Berto and Juan Urango, and the junior middleweight battle pitting Alfredo Angulo against Kermit Cintron.

To get ready for fight night, DiBella Entertainment and Seminole Warriors Boxing have scheduled a full week of events to prepare the world for the wars taking place on May 30th. More...

Hype and brash talk have become a part of most boxing promotions in recent years, but for May 30th’s HBO Boxing After Dark doubleheader at the Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida, none of that is necessary when Andre Berto defends his welterweight title against junior welterweight champion Juan Urango, and junior middleweight knockout artists Alfredo Angulo and Kermit Cintron meet in the center of the ring.

Simply put, this is a can’t miss event in terms of high stakes, power punching, and excitement. More...

Light heavyweight contender Yusaf Mack returns to action on May 30 in Tampa, FL, facing DeAndrey Abron on the undercard of the world title showdown between Andre Berto vs. Juan Urango.

Former NABO and world title challenger Abron is currently on an unlucky run since pushing WBO champion Zsolt Erdei all the way in Germany. More...

In an exquisitely close contest, Andre Berto retained his WBC Welterweight title by a thin unanimous decision over former WBA Champ Luis Collazo last night at the Beau Rivage Casino in Biloxi, MS.

Southpaw Collazo hit the target early when he shook Berto to his boots in the first round with a perfect left hand but the young champion made it through the difficulty by punishing Collazo's attempts to improve upon his work..

Berto was put on the defensive by Collazo's aggressive body assault during the middle rounds but he did have his moments countering the challenger with crisp combinations and hard right hands..

The champion lost a point for holding in the fourth and was cut from an accidental headbutt but managed to wrest control of the bout from Collazo, who slowed down in the middle rounds.

The challenger got his second wind in the ninth frame, again going after Berto's body with success but ironically it was Collazo who tired in the championship rounds, losing his edge in the last two frames as the younger champion went to a higher gear that the New Yorker couldn't reach. More...

Former world champions Ricardo Mayorga and Shane Mosley may not be top caliber light middleweights anymore but they refuse to go away quietly as they rocked the Staples Center in Los Angeles last night with a thrilling back and forth epic that saw both men have their moments before Mosley's punches finally took their toll.

Mayorga's bull-like rushes had Mosley on the back foot early on as the former three weight world champ absorbed the body attack and roughhousing while he studied his antagonist.

The education began to pay off as Mosley started to time Mayorga and catch the Nicaraguan hard man with bracing blows on the way in. More...

In what should prove to be an interesting boxer vs. slugger matchup tonight from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA, former multi-weight world champions Shane Mosley and Ricardo Mayorga meet in a 12 round contest between aging warriors.

Mosley, 44-5 (37), is the more decorated of the two, having won titles at lightweight, welterweight and light middle and is coming off good performances over the last two years in a losing but hard fought effort against Miguel Cotto, a superb outboxing of Luis Collazo and two stoppage victories over Fernando Vargas.

Mayorga, 29-6-1 (23), is coming off a majority decision win over Vargas last year but the ex-WBC/WBA Welter titlist also was crushed by Oscar De La Hoya in 2006, losing the WBC Light Middle belt in the process. More...

Quotes from Mosley and Mayorga from final press conference at the Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles on Wednesday before this Saturday's showdown at the Home Deport Center in Carson, CA.

Mayorga to Mosley: "I'm glad you're throwing out the first pitch at the Dodgers game tonight. You should be a catcher for the way you take take right hands."

Mayorga to talkative Mosley cutman "Captain" Cassius Green, who always wears his trademark captain's hat, after Green heckled Mayorga from the audience: "I'm glad this guy has his captain's hat on because he and his man are going down like the Titanic on Saturday." More...

The greatly anticipated pairing of former world champions Shane Mosley and Ricardo Mayorga heats up this week as the two prepare to face off on Saturday at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA.

Mayorga will hold a media workout on Tuesday and the combatants go head to head on Wednesday in what is sure to be a eventful press conference in Los Angeles. More...

Just three years and a half years since turning professional, Florida welterweight Andre Berto won the prestigious WBC title belt last night at the FedEx Forum in Memphis, TN but thoroughly outclassing opponent Miguel Angel Rodriguez on the way to banging out a seventh round TKO.

From the first bell, the 24 year old Berto peppered his 29 year old rival from Naucalpan, Mexico with a blazingly fast two-handed attack that Rodriguez had few answers for.

Berto forced the taller Rodriguez to fight on the inside and masterfully mixed uppercuts at short range coupled with spearing body shots before dropping back to fire off stunning lead right crosses and left hooks that rarely seemed to miss.

Rodriguez was rocked as early as the second round but the gritty Mexican never stopped trying until he was leveled by a Berto uppercut in the seventh.

It all came to an end for Rodriguez at 2:13 of the frame as he was canvassed again, prompting referee Laurence Cole to step in and call a halt to the action. More...

Welterweight contender Don Juan Futrell, 21-3-1 (10), wants to sent a message to NABF Welterweight Champion Andre Berto, 21-0 (18) before Berto's scheduled HBO televised fight takes place June 21, 2008 at the FedEx Forum in Memphis TN.

"My brother Repo Rick has informed me that your fight with Miguel Angel Rodriguez is not signed yet." said Furtell. "If Rodriguez doesn't want to step up, I will. Let's make it happen." More...

What better stage to highlight a New York rivalry than a live HBO telecast from Madison Square Garden? Dmitriy Salita, 28-0-1 (16), hopes to take his first step towards the boxing elite by facing cross town rival Edgar Santana, 24-5 (15), on the undercard of DiBella Entertainment’s Boxing After Dark on June 21.

“I received a call a few days ago about fighting Santana,” Salita told SaddoBoxing. “The offer was good and I accepted the fight; I really hope this fight happens for New York City and for the fans.”

According to Salita, his fight is being considered as part of a potential triple-header telecast headlined by Andre Berto, who will face Miguel Angel Rodriguez, and a heavyweight co-feature of Chazz Witherspoon against Chris Arreola. More...
