    I saw it in an interview on ZDF.. VERY strange that there was nothing written about it on all the boxing news websites.. the interview is already from a few days ago..

    Somebody who also saw this? Odo? Tom?

    It seems to be true, but I haven't seen a radiograph myself.

    According to the news and according to his coach Abraham had suffered a broken rib in training ,but they didnt want to call off Artur's American debut so that they took the risk.
    I have no idea whether this is really true or not,but gut feeling tells me that they dont try to enhance Artur's glory by highlightining his injury.
    Artur is a tough son of a *****.He has proved that he can go 8 rounds of boxing against a dangerous foe with a broken jaw losing tons of blood by doing so.Fighting with a broken rib is a child's game compared with Artur's epic battle against Miranda in their first encounter.

    Yep. There was a few pictures on here where you could clearly see swelling around his rib cage.
