Vernon Forrest Added To Froch v Taylor Undercard

Post by Poncey »

Shaping up to be a great card. DiBella wasn't joking when he said he wanted a quality card at great value. $200 for ringside is outstanding.

Excellent news. I wouldn't have thought there's any point Forrest fighting a stiff at this stage of his career either.

It's Vernon Forrest vs Jason Le Houllier apparently. :-?

Allan Green v Carlos De Leon Jr has been added according to the web. That's more like it.

Who? Is it a title fight.

Anymore on the rumours of Forrest vs DLH? Oscar looked in good shape at a recent GBP show.

I thought that Forest was going to fight Abraham on the same card as Pavlik v Mora?

I would pick the viper to win that one.

Jason LeHoullier isn't even in the WBC top 40
In his last fight he LOST a challenge for the vacant IBT International AND vacant IBF North American 154lb title!
Can't be a title fight, surely.

BTW - PBF is the 'emiritus' 154lb champion!

Can I ask, I thought Froch was ITV's biggest fighter, so why isn't it confirmed that Froch is on ITV?

I guess for whatever reason ITV's deal with Hennesey doesn't include a fight as high profile/expensive as this.

Got a feeling this may go to Sky Box Office then, or hopefully, Setanta.

Please be the latter.

ITV are in financial difficulty.

Odds on it will be Setanta, with maybe a repeat on ITV at a later date.

Any ideas if Darren Barker's going to get an outing on the April 25 undercard?
