    I want to thank everyone for their participation. It was a long interview and I have a lot of stuff to look over with the tape. I'll post answers as they come off of the tape, so please be patient.

    1. I haven't transcribed the tape for a direct quote but I can paraphrase off of the top of my head.

    Forbes said he weighed 156 before heading to the venue, which was the same he weighed when he fought Bojado. He said that Oscar didn't weigh-in the day of the fight but he estimates that ODLH weighed about 163-163 going into the ring.

    2. I don't feel it is appropriate to ask people about their money. I hope you understand.
    Thanks for the answers, I understand about the money scenario I just wanted to throw out more than one question. Was he fighting around his walking weight?

      Steve Forbes: "It's hard to say. You have to be smart. What I saw was that I was hitting him with good overhand rights. I probably would have thrown a few more of those at different points in the fight. I wanted to be careful because he is a good counterpuncher and has a good left hook. I could've picked my spots a little more and thrown a few more overhand rights."

        I'm scheduled for an interview with him in about 20 minutes. Are there any questions that you'd like to ask him personally? Any serious questions submitted will be answered in this thread. This is a BoxingScene forums exclusive, get it while it's hot.

        Ask him why he thinks that DLHs style will beat Floyd this time around? being that he has only sparred Mayweather and we all know sparring is much different from fighting. What makes him think that DLH has a better chance to win?

          I did this interview a few days ago, but I already asked him that question. That is one subject I will address in the full article with Forbes later this week here on BoxingScene.com

            Is Oscar the hardest puncher he's ever fought? If not, who is?

              In another thread, I posted the answer from Forbes on that subject.
