Saturday night was a successful one for Andre Berto, as the Haitan-American fighter once again claimed stake as a champion in the sport with a fifth round TKO over former IBF welterweight champion Jan Zaveck. Berto was coming off of a heartbreaking unanimous decision loss to Victor Ortiz this past April, a grueling fight that saw the 28-year old floored twice while surrendering his WBC welterweight crown.
A staple on HBO?s airwaves for five years running and having garnered another belt, Berto took a nice step forward following his first professional defeat. The fight saw Berto in clear command early after landing some punishing blows to the body and head before Zaveck made it a dog fight in rounds four and five.
