Forrest Takes Rios Out.

Of the twenty-seven punches Vernon “Viper” Forrest landed in less than two rounds of action in the opening bout of the televised action at the MGM Grand on Saturday night in Las Vegas, the last two were more than enough to end Sergio Rios’ night early. The final combination to the head felled Rios towards the end of the second round and hailed Forrest’s return to action. While the win over Rios is inconsequential in regard to sending a message to the divisions and fighters that Forrest will encounter in the future, it was the first step back in what may be an exciting future for the man that was the first to defeat “Sugar” Shane Mosley in such sensational style some years ago.
