barker/sturm on dec 7th in germany
Considering the outcome and cable rating, it's almost a no-brainer...Sweet, Dan Rafael scooping us that talks for a Vera-Chavez rematch is being discussed:
Chavez promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank and Banner Promotions' Artie Pelullo, who promotes Vera, told ESPN.com on Tuesday that they already are in discussions to stage a sequel before the end of the year.
The promoters said they are looking at either Dec. 7 or Dec. 14, with the bout, if finalized, to take place at a site to be determined in Texas, where Vera, an Austin resident, is from and where Mexico's Chavez has a passionate fan base.
Rafael's article didn't mention Shields comment on weight, just Arum saying it would have to be at 168. But if you're Vera, you know he takes it in a heartbeat. HBO main event, he will have more fans behind him because of the last fight, and there is no where else he can get that kind of money.Considering the outcome and cable rating, it's almost a no-brainer...
That being said, Shields said he'd only take a rematch at 160...
But we all know money talks so....
Jr. Chavez fukkery continues
