Andre Berto ruptured his left biceps while sparring yesterday as he was training for his Feb. 11 rematch with former welterweight titlist Victor Ortiz. Berto was taken to the hospital where an MRI was performed.
There is no word who Victor Ortiz will face now.
The eagerly rematch of a fiercely contested, multiple-knockdown affair on April 16, 2011 that Ortiz won by a unanimous decision (114-112, 114-111 and 115-110) while capturing Berto’s WBC 147-pound title. Both fighters were knocked down twice in the fight, with Berto being dropped in the first, Ortiz going down a round later and each of them hitting the deck in a wild sixth round that many called the “Round of the Year” for 2011 was amazing.

That sucks I was looking forward to that fight. Even if it does open the door for May vs Ortiz 2 it wouldnt matter to me cuz I wouldnt be paying for it.
no good lol, thanx edgar well we shall see who will be the opponent
Well thats a bit of a bummer. I’d hope it doesn’t open the door for Mayweather/Ortiz II.
So does this open the door to Mayweather vs Ortiz II in case Mayweather vs Pacquiao isn’t made ??
