Sergio Martinez is Now The Full Champ, Forrest Stripped

[KJB]

Glad to see them finally take action.
Martinez has worked a long time to get here, he deserves a few paychecks.

Good Vernon got stripped if he wasn't gonna do his job. Now lets see Martinez defend in a tough fight. Pwill needs to get in on the 154 lb action.

thats why he should have done a long time ago instead of trying to sell that nobody wants him. i bet a couple of this guys will fight him

I think Forrest is still suffering from MAYORGA EFFECT SYNDROME

Well deserved for Martinez, still a little dissappointing, I really wanted to see them throw down!

After being blatantly robbed in the Cintron "beat-down" Martinez deserves big fights.

This division is beginning to look pretty damn promising!

[NAPO]

It was about damn time!


But im telling you guys Martinez is nothing special.

he'll beat cory spinks though.

Even though the WBC are a bunch of crooks I totally support this action to strip Forrest. He's been avoiding this fight with Martinez like a hienna tries to avoid a lion. But what I don't understand is why are they gonna allow Forrest to fight for it again after he heals up from this so-called injury? Are they naming him champion emeritus? And I think it's bull**** that if Martinez has to fight him that a 55-45 split should go to Forrest. WTF? Another thing, I read a headline on ESPN's main boxing page that HBO is interested in a Martinez-Paul Williams fight. Paul should jump at that in a heartbeat if the money is reasonable cause that WBC strap may give him some leverage. And what's funny is Forrest wasn't only ducking Martinez, he **** his pants at the mere thought of havin to face the Punisher. And that fight would've crowned a ring champ at 154.

Good news. Forrest has been on the run for too long. Martinez has shown excellent performance against Bunema and Cintron. A champion refers to a fighter who is willing to fight anyone. Sergio Martinez deserves fights with big names.
