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.
Bradley, the WBO champion at 140-pounds, moves up in weight to fight Abregu at the Agua Caliente Casino in Rancho Mirage, California. DiBella is hunting to secure an opponent for Berto in the fall. If Abregu pulls off the upset, his name will be near the top of DiBella's list of potential candidates.
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.
