Known for

Andre Berto is known for his boxing skills and in-ring performances. Berto gained popularity when he first won the WBC welterweight title in 2008 against Miguel Angel Rodriguez by a TKO in the 7 ^th round. He then retained the WBC welterweight title for 3 more years, losing it in April 2011.

fighting style

Berto’s fighting style can only be described with one word, EXPLOSIVE! His speed in hands and feet is one of the greatest in this era. It’s no wonder most of his fights end up with opponents on the ground knowing how athletic Andre is. Andre has a great combination of hook and uppercut punches that makes him a deadly fighter.

first fight

The Beast made his professional boxing debut on December 4, 2004, facing American boxer Michael Robinson at the Barton Coliseum in Little Rock, Arkansas. Andre won the game by TKO (Technical Knockout) in the third round.

first movie

Berto has not yet been part of a film.

First TV show

Andre first appeared in the television series Golden Boy Boxing (2011) as himself as a ringside guest.

Personal trainer

Berto is one of the most explosive and probably the fastest boxers in his weight class. To have speed and strength like Andre does, a boxer should always do both skill training and weightlifting training. This was also the case with Berto. He took up two different types of training, training 6 and sometimes even 7 days a week.

Below we present a training program very similar to the Berto used for his preparation. Of course, his workout routine is always changing, but the routine below is definitely worth trying.

Saturday – Weightlifting (Powerlifting)

On Saturday there is a powerlift circuit that should be performed for 5 consecutive rounds of power clean, thruster and jerk, each for 10 reps per round. The break between rounds should be between zero and a maximum of 30 seconds. The key is to do each rep in one explosive movement to work those fast-twitch fibrous muscles.

1. Power Clean – 10 reps
2. Thruster – 10 reps
3. Dumb – 10 reps

** 5 ROUNDS

Sunday – REST DAY

There’s not much we can talk about when it comes to Andre’s diet. He definitely eats clean and healthy food. Every professional boxer should be aware of the importance of eating high protein foods. Avoiding processed and high-fat foods like hamburgers, french fries, pizza, and refined oils has a tremendous impact on both – decreased performance and slowed muscle growth.
