BoxingScene.com was advised by promoter Lou DiBella that Saturday's winner of the welterweight bout between Timothy Bradley (25-0, 11KOs) and Carlos Abregu (29-0, 23KOs) could become a possible opponent for WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto in the fall.

Berto-Bradley will be a tougher fight to make, because HBO is pushing hard for a unification at 140 between Bradley and WBC/IBF champion Devon Alexander. HBO has a tenative date of January 29 in mind for Bradley-Alexander.
