Berto is getting more loose, which is exactly what he needs, and he does manage to land some shots against the ropes. Mayweather largely took this round off offensively, so 10-9 Berto.

Round 9: Berto is trying hard, you have to give him that. He pushes the pace, coming for Mayweather throughout, but continues to struggle to land.
