Andre Berto, Chris Arreola Head To Memphis

[Soundtraveler]

The Commercial Appeal reports that the HBO "Boxing After Dark" tripleheader, scheduled for June 21, is heading to the FedExForum in Memphis. The card will be co-promoted by Lou DiBella and Prize Fight Boxing. The card was initially eyed for New York, but the FedExForum presented DiBella with a better offer to host the event.

This will be a good show -- here's another chance to come on out to the show and meet the old Soundtraveler -- I'll be doing my thing in the ring (wear ear protection)

i gotta back chazz cause hes from jersey but i dont think whoever wins will do anything real impacting in the division.

[STEELHEAD]

Whoever wins between Berto and the other guy they ain't gettin Mayweather.
Does Mayweather even have to defend his title against the mandatory opponent???

i think that too.
but what it will do is open up bigger fights for berto.
being a manditor adds statis.
money may goes for the money . could care less about manditories.

ANDRE BEARRRRRRRTOOOOOOOOOOOoo !

Hope Berto has fine tuned his defensive game. If so, we may be witnessing the next great welter.

Any word on what the 3rd fight will be?

[ElGranLuchador]

arreola is extremely slow but its the only one we got hopefully he can become the first mexican heavyweight champion
about berto hes getting tougher opposition thats good the last fight again trabant was a disgrace

[BabyFaceAssasin]

I'm not sold on Arreola yet, he hasn't fought any real tough competition. Berto is good but I've seen him dropped by a B-Class fighter. He definitely isn't ready for Floyd yet. I'd like to see him in there with Cintron, Zab or Shane first. He needs to get some good wins under his belt before he thinks about Floyd or Cotto.

[Feint]

I like these prospect shows that B.A.D is doing.

I agree. I love seeing up and coming boxers get a chance to show their talents to wider audience.

[Ray Ray]

Yes Sirrrr! I will be there to check out Berto...It seems like another crunk night on Beale Street after the fight.
