    How did Vernon Forest look last night?

    My car was in the shop so I had to wait for a ride to my brothers house to watch the Hopkins/Taylor fight. Anyway I missed the first bout by Vernon Forest. I heard it was a second round KO but how did Forest look? Was he in shape, was he sharp ? Can someone who saw the fight give me some insite on how he did?

      The (UK) commentators said his opponent wasn't as good as they'd expected, but despite that, he looked first-rate.

        Forrest was absolutely breathtaking, it may well be the performance of the year on a undercard.

        I couldnt be more pumped up for Vernon than if I was his mother. If you havent seen this fight you have to get it, instant ****ing classic!

              Good to see Forest back...maybe he should fight Cory Spinks at 154.

                Mediacom, ironically was going through technical difficulties during that fight. The first PPV that I ever order and it goes through technical difficulties. I seen the highlights to end of that fight and it looked like Vernon's opponent jumped to the ground and took the 10 count. I'd like to get more details on this fight though, because it sounds like it was the best undercard fight.

                  Forrest looked good but his opponent wasn't going to test him much. It was a good fight to get some rust off.

                    Thanks for the update everyone. I guess I'll have to wait to see him in another bout. Who ever heard of putting a big name like Vernon Forest as the first undercard bout of the evening.
