Vernon Forrest appreciation thread....

[dporcer0]

Vernon is an excellent technical fighter; a precision boxer.

You picked the best round of his career. Try showing the dreadful rematch. Forrest was holding the entire fight.

Forrest clinches a lot but it was Shane who initiated all those clinches.

Sometimes you just don't like a fighter for reasons that are hard to explain. I have no problems with the guys who act like badasses like Miranda or Mayorga. But to me Forrest is a wolf in sheeps clothing. He talks a lot of **** about other fighters, and is a whining crybaby himself. He also is a dirty fighter and a vicious headbutt set up his big 2nd round against Mosley.

However, if he beats Mora convincingly you won't hear me say he beat some bum from the contender. I consider Mora a much better challenger than the two washed up guys he beat last year that has so many people convinced he is still so good. I think he'll look his age this Saturday.

You might be right... he is the guy who always refuses to touch gloves and then all but makes out with his opponent after the fight.

I can't believe you think that headbutt was intentional though. That is what you are trying to say isn't it? Otherwise I don't know why you would use the word vicious... it usually implies malicious.

It was NOT Shane who initiatied ALL of those clinches.

Both of them clinched a tremendous amount.

**** Vernon he sucks. He beat ONE quality opponent, in mosley, who should not IMO go to the HOF. Then what? ****in trash, garbage, and any other word you can think of. Mayorga **** of Forrest. Mora ends this wannabe's as.

I am betting 5k that Forrest wins. Do you want that bet?

Shane was gun-shy. He would throw a 1-2 and then do a grab, he did the same against Marquez and Winky.

Since you're so confident Mora will win, why do u bet some K on it?

I am betting that Mora doesn't get stopped. You want that bet?

Well I know that Shane felt it was intentional, and Forrest isn't above fouling. Vicious probably better describes the headbutt that Miranda put on Abraham's broken jaw. But it was a hard butt that stunned Mosley, and he took those wicked rights from Forrest just seconds later.

Nah, I don't think the headbutt was the only reason that happened. Shane just didn't see the right coming... he didn't block it, AT ALL.

I can't believe he stayed up so long, and I can't believe he got up after he got knocked down by that hellacious uppercut.

And I REALLY can't believe he didn't get stopped after getting destroyed by that body shot in either the 10th or 11th (can't remember).

Shane is a tough mother ****er.
