Jamie Moore Climbing up The WBC Rankings

By Terence Dooley

Jamie Moore has been made the number three ranked contender for the WBC light middleweight title.  Moore, the current European kingpin, has always expressed a desire to fight for the WBC belt, and that dream has come a step closer after this latest rankings boost.

Moore, who is in fine form of late with KO wins over Michel Piccirillo and Roman Dzuman, has overcome defeat, injury, and inactivity to reach the WBC top three, and Jamie has told BoxingScene.com that he only has eyes for the WBC green.

Only Kermit Cintron and Vernon Forrest sit above Moore in the current rankings.  Moore would love to take on Forrest down the line; Jamie feels that Vernon is still the man to beat at the weight.  Should the inactive Forrest not fight title holder Sergio Martinez for Forrest’s former title there is every chance that Moore could be involved in a world title fight before the close of 2009.
