1. Joe Calzaghe vs Roy Jones Jr. could end up being September 20 in Las Vegas on HBO PPV. The date was offered to Calzaghe after the Mayweather-De La Hoya II fight was cancelled. Calzaghe dumped his promoter Frank Warren and said he wanted to fight Roy Jones Jr. It appears it could become a reality. The only bad thing is if this fight does happen, it could mean back to back HBO PPVs with Casamayor-Marquez being on PPV September 13. Casamayor-Marquez needs to not be on PPV anyway.2. Despite what had been reported, Chris John will not be fighting Rocky Juarez on the undercard of Joel Casamayor-Juan Manuel Marquez. John's camp said Juarez took too long to respond and his camp agreed for him to fight in another fight.
3. Bob Arum is working hard to get a Kelly Pavlik-Sergio Mora fight for this fall. If the fight happens it will take place either September 27 at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City or October 18 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. Mora will more than likely move back to 160 and vacate the WBC Junior Middleweight title he just won. However this fight is still contigent on Vernon Forrest not enforcing his immediate rematch against Mora.
