Andre Berto to fight Devon Alexander in 2014?
Kevin Cunningham, trainer of former two division world champion Devon Alexander, would welcome a crossroads fight with fellow former champ Andre Berto.
Both fighters are looking to bounce back from their defeats in 2013. Alexander (25-2, 14KOs) lost a twelve unanimous round decision, and his IBF welterweight crown, to Shawn Porter last December. Berto (28-3, 22KOs) lost a twelve round decision to Robert Guerrero in 2012, and then came back in July of 2013 and was knocked out in the twelfth round of an action-packed fight with Jesus Soto-Karass.
Other than Berto, Cunningham would like to see a St. Louis grudge match with Zab Judah. In 2005, before a crowd of over 20,000 in St Louis, Judah captured the unified welterweight crown by knocking out Cory Spinks in the ninth round. Spinks was also trained by Cunningham, who feels an Alexander-Judah fight would do big business in the St. Louis area.
'They can call [Alexander-Berto] - 'Crossroads'...meet me at the crossroads. If I had a choice for Devon's next fight, it would be Zab Judah in St. Louis or Berto anywhere. Those are the two fights that would make a lot of sense for Devon. We have to see what [adviser] Al [Haymon] and [Golden Boy CEO] Richard [Schaefer] come up with. If it was up to me, that would be the two guys we would be looking at,' Cunningham told BoxingScene.com.

Andre Berto continues efforts in Haiti
Former two-time welterweight beltholder Andre Berto, a Winter Haven, Fla., resident who is of Hatian descent, is continuing relief efforts in his family's native country in relation to the earthquake which devastated that island nation in January of 2010.
Having joined his partners at Project Medishare to raise funds for their Hospital Bernard Mevs in Port Au Prince, Berto spent this past Friday with many of the facility's youngest patients, handing out Christmas presents and visiting the children as they undergo treatment at the venue.
"Spending time with these kids and giving them something to smile about was the perfect way to start my holiday," said Berto, in a prepared statement. "Making the people around me happy is better than any Christmas present I could get."
Although Berto (28-3, 22 knockouts) has lost three of his past four bouts, the last by 12th-round stoppage loss to Jesus Soto Karass, whom he dropped in the 11th round in July, the 30-year-old has remained a part of the healing in Haiti with projects such as the charitable organization, Generosity Water, that enabled water wells to be built providing drinking water for thousands of Haitians.
