The often-confusing junior middleweight division is finally beginning to sort itself out, but not in full fashion. The card, appropriately named "Now or Never," showcased a combination of the young and old. The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City played host to the junior middleweight occasion.
Arguably the junior middleweight division is the best division to occupy in boxing, mainly because the weight class is positioned between the welterweight and middleweight division. For the winners there are options to face any of the top fighters between 147 to 160 pounds.
The main event featured two former welterweight champions, both in their mid-thirties, battling to regain the former glory they once had. Vernon Forrest (38-2, 28KOs) won a very unpopular decision over Ike Quartey (37-3-1, 31KOs) by way of a ten-round unanimous verdict. The scores were 95-94, 95-94 and 96-94. [details]
