Ricardo Mayorga vs Vernon Forrest - Closet Classic

[KingTito]

Great fight. Mayorga was a madman.

[Doctor_Tenma]

Mayorga has the kind of style that should have been corrected a long time ago but worked wonders against Forrest. You normally see that style from fighters who are too stubborn to learn the fundamentals, Oscar and Felix Trinidad....I'm sure they ran across fighters at the gym who were wild/ unorthodox which is why Mayorga couldn't phase them, Forrest on the other hand looked like he never seen it before and he folded surprisingly quick.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Forrest fought scared in the rematch and ended up losing. These losses hurt him from becoming potentially an ATG.

Yes that and injuries,,,

If he beat mayorga and stayed healthy, we would have seen forrest vs oscar, winky, etc

Its a shame what happened,, but thats the way it goes sometimes

[Suavecito80]

After he got his ass knocked out and beat again he starting claiming injuries. Getting KO'ed does not make the person KO'ed the better fighter. Mayorga was/is an idiot but when he was focused he was a tough outing for anybody. But a lot of the times he wasn't so he wouldn't train right amongst other things.

I thought Rolly was going to Mayorga'd Tank Davis. Props for Davis for taking his time before he hits Romero with a Knocked Out.
