Forrest Batters Piccirillo, Scores TKO in 11

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

In a fight that was more exciting than many expected, Vernon Forrest (40-2, 29KOs) stopped Michele Piccirillo (48-4, 30KOs) in the eleventh round to retain the WBC junior middleweight title at the Foxwoods Resort and Casino in Connecticut. [details]

Forrest calls out Mayorga, Cotto, Hatton-Mayweather, and De La Hoya.

Pretty suprising. I'd think he'd lose to Mayorga again though. He looked slow tonight. Great Accuracy, but so slow.

Didn't Mayorga batter Piccirillo, too???

[warp1432]

Yeah. And Spinks did too.

Forrest wants to be Mayorga. He doesnt want to be a undercard fighter, he wants to be the main event. He wants to be on PPV. He wants to fight De La Hoya. He wants power. Mayorga beat him not once but twice. Forrest needs to move on.

Yeah he knocked him down 3 times and Piccirillo ran. But it was on PPV so nobody really got to see it.

You can't tell me its not an attractive fight for Mayorga? An alphabet title and a keep busy fight. Much better than fighting Spinks, but Karmazin would be a hell of a fight with Mayorga, but Roman doesn't have the same name recognition as Forrest does.

He looks slower, but he's still good technically and he is stronger physically.

Shouldn't matter at 154, really. None of the guys minus Alcine and Simms really strike me as fast. He is the best boxer puncher out of the bunch, in my opinion. I do think Karmazin would beat him though.
