Oh ****, nice! So now I get to see Vernon fight live as well, and probably do work on that kid. NICE!
For this being the first big fight I've ever been to see live, this card seems like it'll be good. -
Hopefully Vernon skips the pre-fight trash talk and takes this fight seriously. I've seen LeHoullier fight several times on ESPN and he has a little bit of skill, nowhere near as much as Vernon, but then again neither did Mora and we saw what happened in their first bout.Comment

Why does Forrest need to fight a clubfighter? He should fight his mandatory Martinez.Comment

It's completely ridiculous that Forrest is taking a tune-up for a mandatory defense. What a joke.Comment
-
When this fight happens he will have been out of the ring for 7 and a half months. A quick fight before he takes on (a very talented) Sergio Martinez is a good plan.Comment

Its a WBC title fight correct? I wonder if showtime will televiseComment

This guy that Forrest is fighting LOST to the guy that Hearns is fighting on Saturday..
He a HUGGGGE journeymen, get this? he is a full-time sanitation worker (garbageman)...Forrest is just a joke now, but he can no longer run because after this...Martinez awaits.
Has he no shame, this guy he fighting isn't ranked in the WBC top 40...WTF?
What is so special about Forrest that makes Shaw, Haymon and Showtime want to hum his nuts?Comment
