Forrest vs. LeHoullier Tuneup Lands on Froch-Taylor

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBC junior middleweight champion Vernon Forrest (41-3, 29KOs) has set up his tuneup bout. The fight will take place on the on the undercard to Carl Froch vs. Jermain Taylor on April 25 at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut. The opponent will be Jason LeHoullier (21-1-1, 8KOs), who some may remember from last August's decision loss to Harry Joe Yorgey on ESPN. [details]

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.

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

It's completely ridiculous that Forrest is taking a tune-up for a mandatory defense. What a joke.

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.

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

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?

He knows he will get crushed by Martinez and he is scared because the commission won't let him duck Sergio.
