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.
