Arthur Abraham TKO4 Edison Miranda... There was no controversy this time around as Arthur Abraham answered two years of trash talking by pummeling Edison Miranda with three fourth-round knockdowns to win the rematch between the bitter rivals. Abraham told Showtime interviewers before the fight that Miranda's only chance was a knockout in the first three rounds. True to his word, he started out defensively, throwing few punches until the fourth round. Then a right hand knocked Miranda down and hurt him badly. Two left-handed knockdowns followed, and suddenly Abraham had erased the debate about the first fight, which Abraham won by decision after suffering a broken jaw. The fight was held at a catchweight of 166 pounds.

Raul Marquez W12 Giovanni Lorenzo... On the same show in Hollywood, Florida, Raul Marquez was too crafty for a younger, stronger Giovanni Lorenzo. Despite suffering bad cuts, Marquez won the right to face Abraham next by three scores of 114-113. Technically speaking, a point deduction for a headbutt cost Lorenzo the draw and the IBF title fight vs. Abraham, but Marquez appeared to win the fight legitimately. Whether his cuts will heal soon enough for him to face Abraham by October remains to be seen. source fo both results: sauerland event
