BoxingScene.com was informed by promoter Lou DiBella that Sergio Martinez (44-1, 24KOs) is ready for a potential showdown with WBC junior middleweight champion Vernon Forrest (41-3, 29KOs). Martinez captured the WBC's interim title on Saturday night with an eight-round stoppage over Alex Bunema at the Pechanga Resort & Casino in Temecula, California. The performance won over the HBO announcers, who were comparing his style and speed to that of a young Roy Jones Jr. He also made a very good impression on the bigwigs at HBO. [details]
