Why Jermain?
WHY???
From the confidential boxing:
It might not be easy being Green but at least the super middleweight contender Allan Green is about to get a national TV March 28 on Showtime.
The Oklahoma fighter won't have to travel far, either, as he will fight WBC top contender and former champion Jermain Taylor in a Lou DiBella-promoted doubleheader in St. Louis. Taylor will bring some fans from his home area of Little Rock but the show can sell out solely on the strength of the intracity top bout pitting Cory Spinks against DeAndre Latimore.
As far as Taylor fighting newly-crowned WBC champ Carl Froch, as ****************** has continually reported, that is a non-starter. A WBC purse bid for that bout Friday will be an empty exercise involving empty envelopes.
Word is the WBC will leave Taylor in the top spot, pending the result against Green, in hopes of making Taylor-Forch later this year.
Meanwhile, IBF super middle king Lucian Bute makes an optional defense against Fulgencio Zuniga in Montreal Mach 13 for promoter Interbox.
Sauerland Event pressured Interbox to have Bute put his crown on the line against either Mads Larsen or Vitaliy Tsypko.
Figure "Frochie" to now look for an optional defense in his home city of Nottingham come April."
