Berto & Mosley Engage In A Battle of Twits
Posted by Ryan Bates on 10.29.2009
Twitter: Smack-talk of the 21st Century, as demonstrated by welterweight champions Andre Berto & Shane Mosley.
Be careful what you tweet for....
WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto is admittedly a Twitter addict, like most of us here on the staff. And he makes no qualms about talking to his fans about his career, his party life, and generally about how great he is. And when fellow welterweight champion Shane Mosley, in a recent BoxingTalk.com article, put the onus on Berto for not signing the contract for a January 30th bout on HBO, Andre had no problem with jumping on his Twitter and blasting Shane.

(If you think it's a typo, and there should be an @ symbol in front of Shane's screenname, it's not a typo, and yes, there should be. Hey, this Twitter thing is new for everyone, okay?)
Needless to say, when Shane saw the remarks, he didn't "Sugar"-coat anything.
Okay everyone listen up. Its NOT me thats holding up the contract!!! I am the Welterweight Champion. I am ready to fight!

Interestingly enough, Berto has not responded.
UPDATE (10/29, 3:23pm): Berto has now responded to the tweets. No, he hasn't signed the contract. He just trashed Mosley back.
