Spinks outboxed Mayorga and imo Forrest was just a better and taller version of Spinks.
Cory Spink's ability to remain calm surprised the heck out of me. There was no fear in Spinks that night. Mayorga failed miserably at trying to bait Spinks in; even resorted to taunting him. No offense to Forrest (May he RIP) but Forrest faught scared in that rematch; you could easily see that he doubted himself.
To answer the question, I am actually clueless I admit. I don't know what happened there. Looks like Forrest was just in there with the wrong style. I mean you would think Forrest would outbox Mayorga, but it didn't happen. Mayorga just owned Forrest in the first fight and then showed it wasn't a fluke by owning him again in the rematch. It was shocking. And then Mayorga was beaten easily by two guys who boxing fans say ducked Forrest(Trinidad and DLH). Mosley also had trouble with a past prime Mayorga. Mayorga just has a difficult style where you have to bang with him like Trinidad and DLH did. I don't think Mayorga is the type of guy you get all fancy with, you have to go right after him. That's the only thing I can think of.
I had forrest winning the rematch. I'm confused wy you say he owned him a second time, when he did not.
naw..the shoulder injury really set his career back
I dont want to disrespect the dead. That said Vernon came down the aisle siging that song from Pastor Troy : we ready we ready, he was poppin more sh!t than he ever did. Then he got his a$$ beat.
He saying Forrest beat such a good fighter in prime Mosley then he lost to a not so talented fighter in Mayorga and he asks why, what happened to Forrest?
Get it?
Prime Mayorga was pretty damn good, and hit like a truck.
WTF happened to him against Mayorga?
Stylez make fights....when Sergio Mora pressured Forrest in their first fight he pulled off the W..Stay on the outside of Vernons jab and you will lose..
