      Nice lil' boxer, didn't know much about him before this fight except for his stint on the Contender and that he was a former champ. Good overall boxing skills, can take a punch but I don't see him as a real threat in the 140 division, there's bigger punchers out there and even though he busted Oscars face a bit he doesn't have enough power to KO any of the top dawgs on that division.

        Forbes is not a bum. He can beat anyone at 140. That division is weak. Forbes is a solid fighter.

          I agree, he is solid but lacks power, I think Urango would hurt him.

            The better question is who at 140 can beat him?

            He is skilled enough to beat Hatton, Witter, Torres, Paulie, Holt, Urango etc.

              He is a good fighter, definitely not a bum. He has the tools to be a very good fighter at 140 if he is given the opportunity.

                Def not a bum. Was fighting too far above his weight against Oscar. Even at his natural weight he wasn't a big puncher so 150lb was really pushing it. Potential at 140lb to grab an alphabet belt.

                  He has very good defence but doesnt have enough power, He might be able to win a belt at 140lb but i dont think he would hold it for long.

                    i feel he will win a title at 40 if given the chance as silencers said earlier. his power is not much, but it is good enough to do well. look at paulie. anyone who calls him a bum to me needs to learn up on the sport.
