On the Forrest-Mora U/C. Will be televised on Showtime HBO is going to have the triple header with Kelly Pavlik as the main event on the same night. June 7 is a very good night of boxing.
I could be wrong, but I think its the other way around. I think Quintana-Williams is the main event, and Forrest-Mora is the UC fight. But like I said, I could be wrong.
Yeah it should be. This is what the article said on boxingscene On June 7, the two major cable networks will once again battle with dueling boxing cards. Most of time, one network has a better show than the other. This time the deck will be stacked on both ends. On HBO, Kelly Pavlik will defend his WBC/WBO middleweight titles against mandatory challenger Gary Lockett of the UK. Unbeaten Juan Manuel Lopez of Puerto Rico will challenge WBO super bantamweight champion Daniel Ponce De Leon. Middleweight prospect Andy Lee might appear in the third televised bout of the night. (This was wrote before last nights fight. Maybee Vera can take his spot?) On the Showtime end, Vernon Forrest will defend his WBC junior middleweight title against unbeaten Contender star Sergio Mora, who moves down from middleweight to take the fight. The tentative co-feature is a rematch between WBO welterweight champion Carlos Quintana and Paul "The Punisher" Williams. Quintana upset Williams for the title on February 9, and ironically the first bout was televised by HBO. Williams exercised an option for an immediate rematch.
I can't see the rematch coming out any different way unless Williams can make some major adjustments...I think Williams should move up in weight.
I think HBO was only going to show Lee highlights, anyway...because of the Mosley-Judah replay. I like it when there's two cards on the same night, but I don't see how these cards are "stacked". There's a lot of volume and Ponce De Leon-Lopez is a good match-up, but Forrest-Mora and Pavlik-Lockett are yet to be determined...and Williams needs to improve for the Quintana rematch to be a lot better than the first fight.
