1. B.J. Flores, one of my favorites, will be in Atlantic City to support his friend Kermit Cintron. As you should know, Cintron is defending his IBF Welterweight in a rematch against Antonio Margarito.2. Evangelista Cotto is in Atlantic City and will be in the corner of Miguel Cotto. For the past week there have been many rumors circulating that there was an internal conflict between Miguel and Evangelista. Then when Evangelista did not arrive in Atlantic City with the rest of Miguel's team the rumors soared that Evangelista was not coming.
3. Sakio Bika-Edison Miranda in July??? That is the word going around. Miranda was given a June 21 HBO date but Bika said he cannot fight in June because his wife is due to have their second child. Bika won today in Australia by 1st round KO over Gustavo Javier Kapusi.
4. IBF Middleweight Champion Arthur Abraham's promoter, Sauerland Promotions, has offered 1.5 million euros to WBA Middleweight Champion Felix Sturm for a unification showdown July 19 in Germany. The offer was submitted Monday and til date, Sturm and his team have yet to respond.
5. Andre Berto will face Miki Rodriguez June 21 on HBO in a WBC Welterweight Title Eliminator. The winner of this fight would become the mandatory for Floyd Mayweather Jr. Well since neither Berto nor Rodriguez bring the type of money to the table Mayweather demands, the fight will probably never happen.
