forbes vs oscar, can steve pull off an upset

What exactly touched your heart about it? Because he was born 2 pounds, and didn't have a dad around growing up? i'm just wondering because my memory's a little shot.. well i feel for every underdog. it's a combination of things. plus forbes seems like a ncie kid, who has a family that's rooting for him, and he seems like the guy in the wrong place, at the wrong time. under the circumstances he has to loose for obvious reasons. roger dumped him, and he's not getting the proper respect. what made it worse is that his name wasnt even written on the poster. i mean he's actually fighting in the ring tommorow night, oscar is not gonna shadow box by himself.

forbes is a good kid, you cant help but root for him after hearing his lifestory on that countdown. i gotta say watching that shit touched my heart, but can stevie pull it of or is another underdog going to be blown away without a notice????

not much time left, any last words

ill bump this one last time, anyone who hasnt voted please do so now

bumb, this is steve's golden hour. i want to see more faith

tommorow is the moment of truth, and in some instances a humble experience. any last votes or comments?

oscar delahoya is a very experienced fighter he cant be like his fight with sturm:banana:

guys i keep reading that you hope that forbes beats dela just to interupt the mayweather rematch. does anyone here actually wish that forbes would beat oscar for his family? for the thrill of his own victory? to have that defining moment where you hand is raised, a moment which many great champions had, including oscar, but very few underdogs had. i dotn want to see the rematch either, but if im rooting for forbes, it's because i want to see him do well for himself. he is a good person. this is the stage where he can make good on his promises. no mattter if he looses 10 fights after that, if he wins this....

Don't see him winning but i would love for him to win. That way it'll spoil that bogus rematch between odlh and pbf... it'll also put pressure on pbf to fight cotto!

Oscar is going to have his way with him. But I hope Oscar loses just to fuck Mayweather's plans up. :banana:

De La Hoya must win to challenge for Mayweather's WBC 147 lb. title. Mayweather vacated it shortly after winning it, Vernon Forrest holds it now. If there is any sort of boxing god, Steve Forbes will win this fight. But the reasonable bet is that DLH carries Forbes into the later rounds if not the distance. It will be a televised sparring session. Ay man, thanks for keeping me informed, I missing out on alot! I hope the Army gives me a looooooong leash to play with!

If Oscar wants a legacy fight, why doesn't he take on either Forrest or Winky? Heck, Oscar-Cotto would do incredible numbers. oscar would not go to 147 to face cotto DD..mosley gave him the advice.

i want forbes to win, plain and simple. but not because i hate oscar just because it would be great to see such a huge underdog win.

yeah, but the "Light Middle", That's the title Mayweather took from Oscar..."WBC Light Middle Weight" Title, that Oscar won from Mayorga. Ay, Nice, did they say the bout was at Welter Weight???? I'm thinking It's at 154lbs. i think you might be mistaken, oscar was the WBC champ, after that floyd beat oscar, took the wbc than vacated the title, baldomir vs forrest got a shot at the vacant tilte, i think that;s how it goes, the forbes vs dlh is at a catch weight of 150lbs and dlh is pushing to have the fight @ 147lbs for wbc title

Well, at least you can take comfort in knowing that after his bumps and bruises heal, he'll have a fat ass paycheck to help him forget about the loss. in a way i think that it's if steve's family is getting farewell money. meaning how suicide bombers from iraq were promised that their familys would be taken care of with the bills and set for life. but the man of the family would have to sacrifice his life. it's a lousy example but it's fitting in this situation. if you look in oscar's eyes when he talks about that fight, he's ready to send steve into semetary. the man looks like a predator and he picked forbes to do the kind of damage that will send shock into floyd's eyes. he wants to send a message to mayweather, and he wants to do it using steve's body.

I want Forbes to win. Fuck De La Hoya and his rematch. I wanna see who Floyd fights after De La Hoya losses by SD. On some Felix Sturm shit that should've happened a LONG time ago!

i like how some people on here give forbes a chance eventhough it's nowhere in sight. im a fan of oscars, but it really bruised me watching that countdown, it actually made me feel sick in my stomach. stevie is a good kid, and i dont want to see him hurt. if i gotta use my head of course id bet all the money i have on dela, if im using my heart, then ill be rooting for forbes Well, at least you can take comfort in knowing that after his bumps and bruises heal, he'll have a fat ass paycheck to help him forget about the loss.

Forbes has the biggest chance in his life right here. People will be impressed come on fight night. He might not win, but he will go down or even make it a competitive fight. You never know. This is boxing. I just get the feeling that he can make it as competitive as he possibly can, and it ultimately won't make a difference. There's no way in hell the judges give him a decision over Oscar.
