"First I need to heal, then I hope that Andre will keep his word and offer me a rematch."
According to Zaveck's official site (http://www.dejanzavec.com/blog.html), Berto promised a rematch for what was done in the fight today.

Will he keep his word?
If Berto honors that I'd be surprised. That fight was about to get out of control for him. On a side note, I can already see the amount of hate that Berto would get if he did fight Mosley next.
Slovenian newspaper Večer says that DiBella promised a rematch! LoL!Honestly i don't know what ass are they pulling this crap from. Because Berto will avoid a rematch just like he did with Collazo. I think Berto will try to avenge his loss to Ortiz first, after he blows Bailey out of the ring. Berto has a strap now, and Ortiz will be selling his soon for a nice buck to Floyd, so the math makes sense. Berto-Ortiz II in Q2 2012.
zavec's contract expires next year. i wonder if there is any us promoter willing to pick him up for a year or two?. because after what i saw yesterday, i don't think zavec should bother fighting in europe again. even though he fell to #13 boxrec he's the real deal.
well there is brooke and senchenko, both unproven. maybe zavec would be interesting for amir khan's ww debut? and malignaggi has been calling out for a while. still see some opportunity for zavec on televised undercards at least.
Berto has to fight Randall Bailey next. After that, he'll be probably be looking for a 'big' fight.
Zavec needs to take a few months off, heal up, and get back into the ring as soon. If the rematch happens, it happens. Otherwise, there are plenty of other opponents and opportunities in boxing for him to pursue.
Really no need for a rematch. Berto was clearly pulling away in that fight. At Bertos stage in his career, he isn't going to get better so he needs to cash in now. If he rematches Zaveck he will be going backwards to just make a lot of people, majority people that dislike him no matter what happy. Berto needs to do what's best for him and not give a rematch. Rematches are a gift, not something you give out if a few people deem a fight somewhat close.
berto is gonna cash in with whom? after a loss and a headbutt win? the rematch might happen if both stay busy winning. i think berto will be pursuing an ortiz rematch as priority though.
i'm definitely betting on zavec if the rematch hapens. i wasn't sure how he's gonna do against a big puncher like berto, but now i see his chances very clearly. zavec does need a pro dermatologist advice to control these cuts better.
I hope so, if he does, then he's gained my respect.
Indeed.
Frankly, i doubt that the rematch will happen, but it defenetly should. Zaveck should not lost the fight, by this way.
Yea right! Berto gonna defend against some bums before getting demolished by a top 5-10 guy.
He was getting worked, outlanded with the harder punches, Zavec wasnt even breathing hard while Berto slowly walked back to his corner with his mouth wide open gasping for air. Plus in the 4th/5th he kept his hands down and kept hugging/clinching Zavek, probably practiced how he was going to headbutt him
