WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto (26-0, 20 KO’s) will be taking on Freddy Hernandez (29-1, 20 KO’s) this Saturday night on the undercard of the Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Michael Katsidis bout at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada. This will be Berto’s 5th defense of his World Boxing Council title and a continuation of his practice of being matched against obscure and soft opponents. To be sure, Hernandez, 31, has an impressive looking record at first glance, but none of his wins have come against great fighters and he’s probably lucky to be ranked at #10 by the WBC.
