Tony Morgan on drug testing for Berto-Ortiz II, steroids, corruption in boxing

?We will be testing. From what I?m told and as far as I?m concerned, we definitely will be testing.? ? Andre Berto?s trainer Tony Morgan on the forthcoming rematch with Victor Ortiz

On Tuesday night I spoke with trainer Tony Morgan, known best for his work with former champion Andre Berto. I was curious as to Morgan?s take on the recent news surrounding a possible rematch between Berto and Victor Ortiz, and whether random drug testing would play a role in the fight.

Berto suffered his first and only loss as a professional on April 16th when he traded knockdowns with Ortiz in a wild slugfest at the Foxwood Resort in Mashantucket, Connecticut, dropping a decision after twelve chaotic rounds. The defeat stung Berto so badly that he practically went into hiding for a few weeks after, eventually rising to the surface to show how much desire he had at getting his revenge on his conqueror.
