We have a rematch of junior middleweights taking place on Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. WBC junior middleweight champion Sergio “The Latin Snake” Mora (21-0-1, 5 KOs) makes the first defense of his title against former two-division champion Vernon “The Viper” Forrest (40-3, 29 KOs). The fight takes place on the Casamayor vs. Marquez HBO pay-per-view. Back in June, Mora dropped down in weight from 160 to 154, and was able to outhustle Forrest to win his first major title by decision. Vernon would tell BoxingScene.com a few days later that he struggled to make weight for their fight, resulting in exhuastion during the contest. There can be no excuses on Saturday. [details]
