Berto pulls out

LAS VEGAS: Andre Berto pulled out of next week’s World Boxing Council welterweight title fight with Shane Mosley, saying the pain of dealing with the horrific earthquake has taken too big a toll on him emotionally. Berto, whose parents are Haitian and represented Haiti in the Athens Olympics, said even though this was the biggest fight of his career he cannot continue to train. The undefeated Berto was to defend his title against Mosley at the luxury Mandalay Bay resort in Las Vegas on January 30. Mosley, who has held titles in three different weight classes, was to be his biggest test.
