Verno Phillips

[Southpaw16]

When is this guy gonna get another title shot? I hope soon. I didn't see the fight, but a lot of people seem to think he beat Quartay, and he gave Ouma a good run for his money in his fight before that. Since those fights he has rebouded with knockout victories over Teddy Reid and JC Candello, but he is 37 so needs his shot pretty soon. I say he gives anybody at 154 a tough fight.

Taking away the knockdown, Quartey dominated the fight.

dude, do you even watch regular boxing? Verno is nothing more then a step above journeyman.

[Shanus]

He was in negotiations with Ishe Smith apparently, but now that Sechew Powell has thrown his name at Ishe he might be taking that fight.

[realheavyhands]

no he beat ike clearly he just ran out of gas againt ouma as does everyone

[Smokin']

I had Ike winning by a point but whatever. Fight was pretty damn close. HBO were sucking Ike's **** which is pretty unheard of especially cause he cries like a ***** every time he gets "robbed".

[realheavyhands]

your right ike has been robbed in the past i never saw the delahoya fight

[Smokin']

Yeah, he got robbed against DLH for sure. I am not sure about Forrest, though.

[realheavyhands]

i saw the forrest fight it was close.. but forrest was more beat up at the end

[Smokin']

i agree but i thought he landed the more powerful punches. and he also outhrew quartey.

anyway, yeah, whats your opinion of hatton - mayweather at 140?
