He looked awesome v Baldo and all due respect to Baldo but alot of fighters can look good against him. He is a rugged,tough fighter but not very skilled at all. Wide slapping punches. I want to see Vernon fight a top contender at 154,Piccirillo is decent but there are better fighters out there.

Antonio Tarver v George "Honey Boy" Blades (21-3, 15 KOs) in a twelve round main event on Showtime December 1st. Blades, who is coming off a world title shot against unbeaten WBO world champion Zsolt Erdei.WBC 154lb champion Vernon Forrest (39-2) faces Michele Piccirillo (48-3) in the opener.

Maybe I'm being harsh but I am looking forward to all these huge fights plus less well known ones(like Soto-Guzman,Valero/Linares doubleheader) and Showtime gives me this...Not impressed if I'm honest.Maybe the fights will turn out good?
I'll deal with it. Boxing is better than no boxing. Should still be easy nights for Tarver and Forrest
You probably make the best point. Some boxing is better than no boxing.
