Berto Mosley Off?

[global]

According to fightnews. Can't blame Berto myself, somethings in life are just more important. This could free up Mosley for a Mayweather fight though. I hope Berto's family the best and hope everyone from Haiti and their families abroad the best.

Berto-Mosley is off

Andre Berto’s Statement: Since the 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti on Tuesday evening, I have been focusing on my family and the Haitian people who are facing an inconceivable battle for survival while still trying to continue to prepare for an opportunity I have dreamt of since childhood. I lost several family members to the earthquake and after two days without word, was relieved to learn that my sister, Naomi and her daughter, Jessica survived, but were left homeless. I have seen the pain in my parents’ eyes as they attempt to understand what has happened to our homeland and recognize a place they once called home.
As a result of this disaster, I am mentally and physically exhausted and therefore I have no choice but to withdraw from my bout on January 30.
Throughout the past six days, I have received an incredible outpouring of support, and I sincerely appreciate everyone’s prayers for the people of Haiti. I hope that everyone will continue to keep the Haitian people in their thoughts and prayers as we work to rebuild this proud nation. The rebuilding of Haiti is not something that will happen overnight, but I am fully dedicated to helping the Haitian people recover from this catastrophic event.

Quite a bummer as it was to be an exciting fight but the reason for that bummer is to my sense very justified.

Wonder if Mosley will fight Mayweather in March?

[Kel]

Bugger!

[armin]

Totally understandable and hopefully shane can come up with someone else to slug it out with, cause time isn't really on his side.

[Andre]

Gee that brings that disaster a bit closer to home doesnt it!

Understandable and my condolences and prayers are with them all.


Be nice if Boxing threw some profit there way somehow.

Deepest sympathies to Berto in the midst of this crisis. I hope he finds his peace with this soon.

Wait Is Mayweather seriously talking about fighting Nate Really ?

Props to Berto for standing for something bigger than dollar.Hope he can rebound and again garner a high profile match when he and family find a semblance of normalcy.Career defining moments can be few and far between and can pass the idle by.
