Thread: Quintana/Williams & Forrest/Mora together on June 7th?

This little tidbit was in Dan Rafael's Notebook today.

• Vernon Forrest's junior middleweight title defense against "Contender" Season 1 winner Sergio Mora is moving from May 10 to June 7. Showtime will pair it with the rematch between welterweight titlist Carlos Quintana and Paul Williams, multiple sources involved in the event told ESPN.com. Quintana dominated Williams to win the decision in a major upset Feb. 9. Williams had a rematch clause and exercised it.

Steve Kim of Maxboxing also had a small blurb reporting this in his article today as well.

JUNE 7TH

I've been told that Showtime could be airing a doubleheader featuring the rematch between WBO welterweight champion Carlos Quintana and Paul Williams and a jr. middleweight contest between Vernon Forrest and Sergio Mora on June 7th.

The Nokia Theatre (which is across the street from the Staples Center in Los Angeles) and venues in Nevada are being discussed for that promotion.

The quintana/williams rematch is intriguing.. gonna be interesting to see paul fighting with some fire up his ass.

Great fightcard, I think Williams will struggle to do any better against Quintana.

I fancy Mora to cause an upset though over Forrest. At the very least it will be a competitive fight imo, he certainly won't get blown out.

Forrest will destroy Mora. And Quintana will again beat Williams

Mora is going to get stopped, I can't see it any other way.

Shame Mayorga isn't fighting Forrest like I hoped he would. He'll find someone else to dance with I'm sure though.

I really think Mora has a chance against Forrest, it all depends on how confident he is coming in to it.

He's fought and beaten bigger men in Manfredo, Brinkley and Regan and has enough speed to cause Forrest problems.

We have to remember that Forrest barely scraped past Quartey in a fight I've never heard anyone say he won. He then beat Baldimor in an entertaining fight but Baldimor is awful. He got a gift last time out against that Perez guy who Alfonso Gomez destroyed the year before.

A win over that foreign guy was impressive but he was old and past it.

Mora had two great fights with Manfredo and came through them.

You can argue he was lucky to get the decision against Peter in the second fight but he was cut horrifically in the first or second round and had certainly rallied by the end of the fight.

Furthermore he was facing a Manfredo who had confidence, which I believe is significant. When Manfredo is confident he's a handful. Against Calzaghe and Lacy he seemed to freeze hence the lacklustre performances.

Providing Mora himself doesn't freeze against Forrest I really believe he will cause him problems.

I'll probably pick him in the prediciton contest just for the crack.

Isnt this the same date as Pavlik-Lockett?
(Assuming that's a done deal).

Forrest will defeat Mora.

I'm interested to see how the Quintana/ Williams rematch plays out.

Woow is rare , because yestarday in a local journal i readed that these rematch between Quintana vs Williams agreed that they will fight in May 24 /08 , but now in other news the Quintana trainer Jose Bonilla said that these fight now was discarded it because they not even get to a financial agreement and to have signed contract because now is Quintana that are in sit on the desk fot waiting a good financial agreement , if im not mistake in May / 24 Pantera going fight with Kessler , that is another issue , he traine both Quintana and Pantera , Jose Bonilla said that he dont going to choose with who going to be in a fight , supposedly the rematch going to be in P.R.,Jose Bonilla doesnt think that both fight comes, just until they sign the the contract........ Lest see what going Happen .......

Gotta love Williams wanting an immediate rematch against Quintana for the title....Just like he gave Margarito a chance to recapture it

Quintana is going to win again.

I agree that Williams did not want to give Tony a rematch and he should have. After the Q is done with Williams, no one will even give PW the time of day. If Tony beats Cintron, I doubt even Tony will look Williams way and I am sure because he did not give him a rematch, he will just tell PW to go F himself.
