Boxing Rumors (Maybe Hidden Truths) 6/9/08


1. Vernon Forrest wants to exercise his immediate rematch clause against the new WBC Super Welterweight Champion, Sergio Mora. Mora took the title just two days ago from Forrest in a fight that saw Forrest look old. Vernon Forrest spit a lot of negative venom towards Mora and The Contender promoter, Jeff Wald. Then Forrest lost the fight in a clear cut fashion. Should be interesting to see what happens because when Mora won he immediately inherited a mandatory fight against Sergio Martinez. Not to mention, Mora does not really want to fight at 154 because the division is not really that good at this time.
2. Carlos Quintana, who was KOd in the first round of his rematch against Paul Williams, wants another fight. Quintana said he is a warrior and would like another chance. He says he will return whether it is against Williams or not, but wants the third fight with Williams. Honestly speaking, he is dreaming if he thinks that fight will happen. Williams was a favorite in both fights and destroyed Quintana in the rematch. There is no demand to see that fight again.
3. Congratulations to Kermit Cintron and his wife who had their first son Clemente a few days ago. Clemente came out healthy and happy at 7 pounds 12 ounces.
