Oscar vs. Forbes is Finally 1000% Done

I don't think this fight was ever in danger of not being done.

Oscar was in a no win situation in this fight. Its HBO, so there isnt enough money to lure a bigger name and that's also the reason why it's on HBO - because they dont want a bigger name. There was no way anyone was going to risk ruining the rematch between Mayweather and De La Hoya in September by putting De La Hoya in too tough in May. Oscar knew that going a year without fighting did not give him the best chance of winning the rematch with Floyd. So he wanted to get some work in so voila ... they put it on HBO, get a former world titlist, who is moving up in weight. I don't think this fight is as much as mismatch as some think. This isn't a shootout - but its also not a shutout. Mike www.TheKnockoutNetwork.com Check out the Knockout Blog for Updated Boxing News

Whatever happened to fighting young and hungry fighters that are too inexperienced to pose a threat for a tuneup? I prefer that over fighting washed up fighters too degraded to pose a threat.

Oscar is a bitch. This is worse than Cotto Vs Gomez, but sometimes people need a chance at glory! Gomez is just a stepping stone for Cotto though. Gomez vs. Cotto is not that bad. Oscar is gonna RETIRE after fighting Mayweather again. That is weak.

who cares, theres nothing wrong with this fight. Its not like he has a title, and tuneups against guys just to put on a show for fans is a good thing. however, he could fight a fighter thats more likely to put on a good show...Forbes has the ability to make it boring.

I can't wait for PBF vs. DLH 2. really? I guess some people actually do want to see this.

That's what i'm saying. I've lost a little respect for Oscar. I grew up admiring this dude for doing what's best for boxing. Even though he's fighting "the best" no one want's to see this shit. I'm gonna boycott this fight by not buying it. I meant boycotting the mayweather fight.

such a weak fight. I want to see Oscar and Floyd mix it up with Cotto. That's what i'm saying. I've lost a little respect for Oscar. I grew up admiring this dude for doing what's best for boxing.

You mean 10 times. Just trying to stress that its not like last week when people were reporting that it was done, only to have Golden Boy and The Contender calling everyone up in the middle of the night with the old, 'Its not done, why are people saying its done?'. Now - its done. Both contracts are signed and in the commissions hands. Mike www.TheKnockoutNetwork.com Check out the Knockout Blog for Updated Boxing News

a %1000 percent done? dayum, they must have signed their names twice on the contract. You mean 10 times.
