Andre Berto, the man Floyd Mayweather Jr. defeated to improve at 49–0 and end his career, does not seem impressed with the unbeaten champ's performance last Saturday. 

In a video posted by TMZ Sunday, they caught up with Berto in Las Vegas after the fight and he had some words for Mayweather's performance. 

"I didn't know I was going to have to wear track shoes tonight. I had to do a lot of chasing," Berto said about the fight.

When asked if he thinks it was a fair fight, Berto said Mayweather ran around, held him and did all that kind of stuff but he showed everyone that he came to fight the number one pound-for-pound. 

Berto also affirmed that his fight against Mayweather was more interesting than that of Manny Pacquiao's and it should have earned the money the "Fight of the Century" did. 

The 32-year-old boxer called Mayweather crafty, also saying that he knows how to move and to hold. 

Before ending the interview, Berto again said he was unaware that he needed to wear his track shoes for the fight but added that Mayweather came out to scrap and the 38-year-old champion did what he needed to do. 

The loss to Mayweather gave Berto a 30–4 record and he is now 3–4 in his last seven fights. 

Mayweather again had a great defensive scheme against Berto, making him miss using his elusiveness.  

Just like in his bout with Pacquiao, Mayweather again displayed high-level footwork that gave him great movement and distance against Berto, helping him land his shots better. 

According to the stats provided by Compubox, Berto only landed 83 punches out of 495 thrown, which is far less compared to Mayweather's 232 of 410 total punches. 

After the fight, Berto said Mayweather's experience played a huge role in his defeat and "Pretty Boy" also said the same.
