    I have watched the tape now several times and it's obvious to me that Arthur Abraham faked his jaw being broken by a punch from Edison Miranda. The blood is clearly fake, most likely a mixture of ketchup and red food coloring.

    His goal was to gain sympathy from the judges and be branded a "courageous" fighter by the media. His ploy seems to have worked as many journalists point to that fight as establishing AA "toughness" and "warrior mentality". It is remarkable that so many were fooled by such a stunt.

    Show me one youtube video of a fighter having a broken jaw that bad and kept fighting?!

    Obviously it was fake. No time in history has that ever happened before.

    It's unprecedented. The blood is all wrong, the color is off. And when Arthur was hit he grabs not his jaw, but his ear!

    Now, WHY would he touch his ear?

    Can you say "actor"?

    That's a totally different bodypart.

    Abraham clearly faked it. I should know: I've watched the fight on youtube.

    A mechanized contraption was implanted in his jaw, which caused the squirting of ketchup. Soooooooo fake.
