Abraham promises punishment! Fight News.com
Friday, June 13 2008
"Greetings from your king, I will punish you again," says IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham to June 21 foe Edison Miranda in a video produced by his promoter.

Abraham and Miranda will meet in a twelve round rematch contested at a catchweight of 166 pounds live on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
As a must-see prelude to their much anticpated rematch, SHOWTIME will present Abraham-Miranda I for the first time on U.S. television on June 16th and 19th on SHO2 and June 21 on SHOWTIME. Miranda (30-2, 26 KOs), long known as one of the most feared punchers in boxing, broke Abraham’s jaw with vicious shots to the head early in that bout and blood flowed steadily from Abraham’s mouth until the final bell. Miranda, fighting on Abraham’s home turf in Germany, lost five points for low blows and head-butts. Abraham, (26-0, 21 KOs) the current IBF middleweight champion, survived the brutal injury to win a decision by five, six and seven points respectively on the judges scorecards to retain his title.
"In all my life as a boxing fan, and as a producer for more than 20 years, I have never seen anything like it," said David Dinkins Jr., executive producer of SHOWTIME Sports telecasts, of Abraham’s broken jaw. "For a guy to fight through that kind of injury and win is truly remarkable. There’s some unfinished business here. I am really looking forward to seeing them go at it again."
