    I'm happy that vernon defeated Sergio. But I do think that his time in the ring is coming to an end pretty soon. The early rounds were very punishing for Mora. But as the fight wore on, Vernon was visibly losing steam. This could be because of his advanced age in comparison to Mora or it could be because of the body shots that Mora was placing throughout the night. Either way, I think that in an earlier period, Vernon would have been able to stop Mora.

    Vernon is one of those fighters that, when I see him, I always think about what could have been if this or that didn't happen.

      I am suprised Mora was able to stay in the mix, he has a good chin and is better than I first thought.

        Im glad Forrest took his title back. I think Vernon just took his awkward style too lightly.

        he definitely dished it back too Mora.

          Forrest got tired in the latter rounds because of Mora's awkward style. He makes you miss a lot wit all that dipping and ducking. It's hard to look good against him but I think Vernon did. He's got more fight left in him.

            I agree. Forrest is old and it will show if he fights anybody better than Mora. I still think Forrest lost to Ike Quartey. As for Mora, he has a tougher task ahead of him campaigning at 160 than he did at 154.

                I'm glad that Mora's 10 minutes of fame is up.

                And dipping and ducking is about the only things Mora is good at, 'cause he's a scared b*tch.

                    Forrest did not look slow. Mora just has a great chin. He got outboxed period. Mora has no excuses just as nobody accepted Forrest's excuse when he lost.

                      Maybe forrest isn't, but Mora only beat Forrest because of his size in the first fight anyway, and that Forrest took him lightly. Mora is a ko waiting to happen. He can't compete with Pav or Abraham at 160. He is stuck as they say.
