Tyson at 147
A recap of Saturday night's HBO card, with particular attention paid to Andre Berto's demolition of the ultra-game Miguel Figueroa. On Berto: "The guy has the whole package - hand-speed and footwork that makes you think he could trade with Floyd, and power that makes you wince even when you're watching at television distance. Throw in the fact that he's handsome and articulate and cut like a bodybuilder and Andre Berto seems like a guaranteed star in the making.
