Abaraham's jaw was DESTROYED after that fight. He seriously could not eat solid foods for a month after the fight. He had 2 titanium plates installedafterwards, and couldn't fight for the better part of a year.
As for Mosley-Mayorga, if its PPV it better have a stacked undercard. The fight would be entertaining while it lasted, but probably won't be competitiveand really isn't all that significant in the grand scheme of things.

Man, F' Andre Berto...sorry Gunna.
The real fight is the undercard...Chris Arreola Vs. Chazz Witherspoon, two good heavyweight prospects.
Arreola is THAT dude...you'll see.

[/font][/font]
June 18, 2008
On Saturday, June 21, undefeated middleweight champion Arthur Abraham, and the explosive, hard-hitting EdisonMiranda will co-star in the emotionally charged sequel, live on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING at 9 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the west coast). Abraham wonthe first fight on a hotly disputed unanimous decision in a scintillating affair on September 23, 2006. The 12-round rematch will be contested at a catchweight of 166 pounds.
Abraham and Miranda took time from their workouts Tuesday to offer some insights on how training camp has been,what they thought of their first fight and their views on the rematch.
ARTHUR ABRAHAM
"It is an advantage for me that I already know Miranda. I know how I will fight against him and that is why I know how to prepare. Itgives me even more security.
"The fight weight is definitely good for me. I feel even stronger. Making weight can be a real torture but I do not have to do it this time.
"I know that I have to be more active from the first bell on. It is also important to stay concentrated. Miranda is a guy who makes you pay for mistakes.But I will not give him a chance to do so. I will win.
"In the first meeting the broken jaw kept me from showing my true potential. I will make up for that on June 21."
EDISON MIRANDA
"Abraham is making the biggest mistake of his life. The last time, I broke his jaw when I was weakand struggling to make 160 pounds. At super middleweight I'm so strong it's scary. I'd be surprised if he makes it five rounds.
"The last fight was the worst night of my career because I had the title stolen from me. Now we're on a level playing field and the only thingdetermining the outcome of this fight will be my fists. And I will get my redemption on Saturday.
"He's a good fighter and I respect him as a fighter. But I will not hesitate to destroy him when we're in thering. This is a man's business and I don't know if he belongs here anymore.
"Abraham made me wait almost two years for my rematch and on Saturday I will make him pay for every minute Iwaited .
"I've had my best camp ever. I'm on weight and I'm just climbing the walls waiting for the first bell to ring. After Isend Arthur Abraham back home I want to settle another score with Kelly Pavlik. Joe Calzaghe won't fight him, but I will, and it won't be the samestory the second time around."

HBO "Black and Blues"
Berto / Rodriguez Eye WBC Welter Title!
Welterweights Andre Berto (21-0 18 KOs) and Miguel "Mikki" Rodriguez (29-2, 23 KOs) will face off for the newly vacated WBC Welterweight Championship, which Floyd Mayweather Jr. relinquished when he opted to retire last week.
" I've worked and trained hard for this fight," Rodriguez said.
Berto said a little more, but not much. The fighter mentioned looking forward to possibly facing Mayweather before his retirement, but now he's focused on winning the belt. Saturday night's event will be his third fight in Memphis. He impressed in both of his previous bouts.
