Forrest tops Quartey by Disputed Decision (My Column)

[kg21mvp]

On Wednesday, I asked Forrest's trainer Buddy McGirt about possible future opponents, and he said that was up to management. He did however say that Spinks would be a possible opponent because Forrest "needs a title".

Quartey is gonna have to overcome the negativity of a bad decision from the judges. He can't afford to be discouraged, hes gotta get right back in there because hes not getting any younger.

thats looks like a good match up in the near future! you're hangin with the big guys now huh!

saw that, found it sort of annoying but whatever.

Vernon's got an attitude, reminds me of Kellen Winslow and his "I'm a soldier" rant.

does anyone know why the hell forrest gave quartey the throat slash and then refused to touch his gloves before the fight? that was really amatuerish behavior

Nice column as always. It would be good if all boxing fans watched boxing like you do.

nice column AS!

who might be the next opponent of forrest?

or whats gonna happen to quartey after this fight.. share us your insight

if quartey won that fight, he could have had a shot at mayweather. he arguably won, but he still doesnt get that shot at mayweather.

I personally think that quartey will fight more back in ghana or something. he looked pretty fed up after the fight.

Forrest could fight spinks next. that would be a good fight

Thanks alot bro. I try my best to cover the story as best I can, but its all hit and miss. I look at it from the perspective of a fighter, it just all kind of rings up in my brain what is going on. Its like radar, I dunno I hope I get on The Ring or some kind of tv gig because I can't stand working at the movie theater. You wouldn't want to be me the day after a bad prediction though, because some peoples existences are justified by my human errors. Good looking out bro, peace.

Cha-ching!!!!!!

Cha-ching!!!!!!

A deals a deal, heres your 3 bill. But I know, you know, and everyone else knows that Forrest didn't deserve the decision. Quartey won the fight and earned the decision, and the officials took the fight away from him. It was a dubious decision, A DISGRACE! AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE!
