forbes vs oscar, can steve pull off an upset

[Boogie Nights]

just as expected, de la hoya dominates the poll numbers. 4 people think that forbes will actually pull an upset decision, anyone else giving stevie a chance, or he's a dead man walking?

[Kilrain]

In a word, no.

[ztrac79]

I think he has little to no chance of wining, but even if he did pull it off I bet the judges wouldn't give it to him.

hate to say it fellas, but WBC rules states that in order to challenge the Champ for a title fight...you must come off a win! Golden Boy Promotions is paying huge dividends to Steve Forbes, who will put on a great show, picks up his check, and his family eats good for the rest of thier lives. There is much too much money riding on De La Hoya -vs- Mayweather II.

The story behind Steve "Two Pounds" Forbes, and Oscar "giving back" by fighting on HBO in 7 years, is, for the most part, Ingenius Promoting. Should Steve Forbes not be content with his check after all the deductions are made, he'd tell De La Hoya he wants in on GBP, or he'll tell the world how he was paid to take a huge dive, even though the contract will have a fine print saying he can't sue Golden Boy.

De La Hoya must win to Challenge for Mayweather's WBC 154lb title.

you meant the WBC @ welter, forrest is the WBC champ @ super welter

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 like everything bout the forbes story but no he can't win this fight, too small. I heard throught the g**** vine he had major problems with the physical strength and speed of ricky hatton in sparring, so I think it will be oscar on a shutout up until the knock out. Good on forbes though, good pay day and im sure he can win a world title again at a lower weight

[Boogie Nights]

wow, i see manchine picked forbes by upset ko

manchine are you being serious or just giving forbes a generous vote?? please explain

[ßringer]

I'm really torn on this one.

On the one hand, how could you not want to see "2 Pound" win this one? It would mean so much to him, his wife and his family. I would feel really good about Forbes winning this, for obvious reason.

On the other hand, you look back at Mayweather/De La Hoya and you see how well Oscar did early, without the training of Floyd Sr. As a boxing fan I think it's impossible to say you wouldn't want to see the fight unfold as it should: With Floyd Sr. in Oscar's corner. It would make for a really entertaining scenario IMO.

I have no idea about this one, I want both guys to win.

[Pullcounter]

oscar is going to KO forbes... forbes is too small.

Plus Floyd sr. used to train forbes and knows how to defeat him.

[QUISQUEYA]

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

That was the worst Countdown show i can remember. Even worse than Vargas-Mosley.

...and 58% of the show was about the damn mayweather clan.
