I think Quartey's gonna beat him; his level of opposition has prepared him for a tough fight but Forrest has been fighting tomato cans. Yep...Verno Phillips was no pushover fight whatsoever. I think Quartey will be better prepared as well, especially if he has a good training session.

I hope Ike finds a way to pull this fight out. He deserves another shot at the big time.
