It?s Ike Quartey's Toughest Test Yet
A tale of two eager former WBA welterweight champions seeking to regain their high profile status will be told at the Madison Square Garden this evening as Ghana?s Bazooka Quarter (37-2-1), clashes with Vernon ?The Viper? Forrest (37-2) of the USA. This tale is as an unpredictable as it can be because the two find themselves on the same wavelengths of endeavour. But even the most identical twins have traits, not only physical, that differentiate them. So in the same way, Ike Quartey stands miles ahead of Forrest, and that could be his guiding principle for victory. First they both have orthodox styles of fighting, they are almost of the same age and have the same fight record with Ike having a draw.

The American stands six metres tall and has a reach of 73 while Quartey is 5?7 tall and has a reach of 71. A win for Ike tonight will place him at the closet point to fight any of the boxers on his hit list of five, which includes ?Sugar? Shane Mosley, Oscar de la Hoya and Fernando Vargas. His mood is right, his preparations successful and his intentions have been clearly articulated.
