also, forbes has no knockout power.... only 9 knockouts in 33 wins? lol... oscar knows that steve forbes won't knock him out, he also knows forbes can't outbox him... he also knows that forbes will be knocked out devastatingly... good marketing strategy by mr. de la hoya.
Addison,
Stevie Forbes has sparred hundreds of rounds with Floyd mayweather , Jr. He was trained by all three Mayweathers. Roger Mayweather took Stevie in and got him his first apartment. Forbes naturally uses the shoulder roll style.
Steve also sparred with Hatton to 'mimic' the FMJ techniques. Steve is around the same height and dimensions as Lil Floyd.
Overall, probably as close to FMJ as you will get.
I never knew much of that - gives me a lot better insight on this fight.
To be fair, Oscar DLH doesn't often pick totally easy fights.
I'm rooting for Forbes, though.

9) Forbes is only slightly taller than Frodo - Oscar's favorite sized opponent.
Exactly. A small man who happens to be quite well-known in America because of his contender appearance. He is not deserving of a shot at DLH, but he is well-known which is his only major qualification.
He is black.
DLH like to beat on black people.
Racist.
total revenge beating. Has to prove he can beat a former 130 lb black champ. lol.
real reason more than any other is that (sadly) Forbes was on a reality TV show and this and the fact he was champ before his weight issues can draw more people to get HBO and watch the fight.
