12 Round WBC Welterweight Championship Fight
Saturday, April 10, 2010
BANK ATLANTIC CENTER / Sunrise, FL

Andre Berto
Undefeated Welterweight Champion (25-0-0, 19 KOs)

vs

Carlos Quintana
Former Welterweight Champion (27-2-0, 21 KOs)

 
A pair of young undefeated champions put their titles on the line against former champions in the April 10th edition of HBO's "World Championship Boxing." In the evening's main event, Andre Berto returns to the ring for the first time since the tragedy in Haiti forced him to cancel a career-defining fight with ring legend, Shane Mosley. Considered among the top young talents in the sport, Berto rose quickly through the Welterweight ranks, capturing a title and earning what would have been a unification bout with certain hall-of-famer, Shane Mosley. Now, fighting with a heavy heart, Berto defends his title against former Welterweight champion Carlos Quintana. Always game, Quintana has proved a puzzling opponent to all comers and remains the only fighter to have defeated multi-division dynamo, Paul Williams.

In the opening bout, Junior Featherweight champion, Celestino Caballero, will face undefeated, Featherweight contender, Daud Yordan.
