Reversing his shocking loss to Sergio Mora this past June, Vernon Forrest regained the WBC Light Middleweight title in the rematch, decisioning the former Contender star to take a wide points verdict while Juan Manuel Marquez made the transition to lightweight by stopping Joel Casamayor in the 11th frame of their Ring Magazine title bout at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

During their first bout, 37 year old Forrest wasn't able to maintain his early pace and was beaten to the punch and outworked by the much younger Mora, who had moved down from middleweight.

In classic boxer vs. puncher clash, WBC Lightweight Champion Joel Casamayor came from behind last night at the Morongo Casino in Cabazon, CA to stop WBO titlist Michael Katsidis in the tenth round.

36 year old Casamayor had started the bout on fire, decking Katsidis back to back twice in the very first round with southpaw power left hands and it was clear that all the pure skill advantages in the bout belonged to the former Cuban defector. More...
