I think it's being moved to the June 16th BAD co-feature slot (beneath Malignaggi-N'Dou). BoxRec has it listed for May 19 but up until a week or two ago, they also had Vargas-Mayorga listed as happening tonight.
Forrest wins this fight, regardless of whenever it is. Baldomir is a solid (read: respectable) welterweight, but his lack of power AND moving up 7 lb. north will be the difference between a competitive fight, and a fairly one-sided paint job by Vernon. -
I see Forrest winning this one in a UD as well. Even though he didn't look the greatest in his last fight. Baldomir will try to pressure him and wear him down, but it won't be enough.Comment

Baldomir takes this. Forrest's shoulder looked damaged in his last fight and it was supposedly healed or as healed as he will ever get it. With that over his head, he willl never be the same. No way he beats Baldmir with on hand. Also, Baldomir is a better version of Mayorga, a fighter that took Forrest down twice.Comment

Pretty much my take as well.Comment

Being the resident Baldomir nuthugger, I think Baldomir will win. I think the Forrest from a few years ago could beat him, but even though Baldy is older, these ARE his prime years. Last year he beat both Gatti and Judah, this basically has to be considered his prime. He just peaked late :P.
I see Baldomir winning a solid desicion. Honestly thats what I feel, not just being a bias fan.Comment
