I haven't seen that fight in awhile.

But, I remember thinking that I though Forrest deserved the decision. Or at least having a case of winning the fight.

fighting is 60% mental.

i laugh every time some idiot breaks down mayweather vs pac by skills alone.

idiots don't realize mayweaether is scared out of his tree..

It's just insane how a bar brawler was able to beat a skilled boxer twice. That fourth round where he was daring Forrest to hit him was just madness, he took Forrest's soul and made him realize that he couldn't hurt him. Definitely Forrest's nightmare. (RIP)

interestingly like Cotto, forrest was having problems with his right shoulder, hmmm?

just watched forrest vs mayorga l

easily the funniest postfight interview ive ever seen

larry: between rounds you said this guy really hits hard, did he hurt you in the second round?

mayorga: he hit me, but i was fighting a clown. i didnt knock him out in the first round because my corner told me to take it easy.

then larry hands him a cigarette and he starts smoking in the ring

lmao

I was watching this fight like month ago. Yeah it's pretty crazy how simple brawler beat by points skilled boxer. Mosley lost to Forrest because he was trying to box VF, second fight was mostly jabbing each other. VF's jab was easily backing up SSM, everytime Mosley would jump Forrest was jabbing or countering him with right hand. But Mayorga was able to beat VF, because he wasn't afraid to eat Forrest's punches to land his own. Vernon lost his confidence, because on his several jabs and right hand on Ricardo's granite chin, Mayorga was answering with heavy punches.

by chance i just finishing watching mayorga-forrest I today. what a wild fight and a suprise to see the unorthodox brawler to beat a skilled boxer!
second fight forrest deserve to win imo. mayorga won d first 5 rounds n round 10 being close to even...forrest found his rhythm n beat tis crazy man in d rest of d rounds.

unfortunatly forrests title reign was short just like his life. underappreciated fighter back then, who many avoided in his time..great boxer !
r.i.p champ!

Mayorga got into Forrest's head in both fights which is why Forrest lost both times.

There aren't many guys with rough skin in boxing.

I watched Margo vs Forrest and Lewis 1 and 2, and the Tito fight today. Besides the Lewis 1 NC. All these fights were exciting. Mayorga had a nice run. But the first thing that popped in my head was Mayorga vs Margo at 147 at there best

There are people who actually thought Vernon won?
