Thread: De la fishnets vs forbes

Do you guys see forbes outboxing De La fishnets only to be cheated by the judges

Although I agree that the Judges would hestitate to give a close decision the way of Forbes over Oscar, but I highly doubt it'll be a close decision...

I'll judge forbes as the coolest freakin person on earth if he completes his ringwalk sporting fishnets to get DLH pissed off...
But DLH has given him a great opportunity to fight him, so I don't think Forbes will throw it back in his face like that..

de la fishnets

a decision win over forbes is a victory in my eyes for forbes but oscar also has been inactive and is an aging fighter so I wouldn't be surprised if it went all 12 rounds

Forbes would skyrocket from my #435 to #1 favorite boxer if he pulled that

just googled it....

oh good lord, what an idiot!!

De La fishnets

I've seen Stevie box numerous times. Although a good boxer, he has already peaked. He was able to win a few fights latly against decent opposition(I count the Hopkins fight as a win) but DLH although past his prime is on another level... All Oscar has to do all night is jab, jab, jab... His jab is his best weapon and IMO he could have beaten Floyd with it... If his jab was working against the best P4P in the game I think it's gonna do some damage to Steve... I don't see Forbes stopping the jab and I don't see him outboxing Oscar... This is a Gomez Cotto'esk matchup... Seeing the countdown has it in people's minds that there is even a chance of an upset... I am not an Oscar fan. I do quite like Forbes but I think the making of this fight was a farse from the begining (sorry Stevie)

ODH by onesided UD or late KO due to handspeed and jab accuracy

No doubt in my mind

If it was really him, I think people make a big deal out of what others do in private.

Thats the best he can hope for TBH as I cant see him beating Oscar . If he lasts 12 that will be a victory in itself but the worst case scenario is he gets knocked out early cuz he cant take the power.

If I was advising Forbes on how to approach teh fight I'd be telling him to keep out of punching range when he isnt throwing cuz Steve likes to stay in 1 place abit too long IMO . I'd keep his upper body moving, slipping , blocking, dodging Oscars left hand. I'd make sure he doesnt punch with Oscar but that he ties him up when theyre close. As the rounds progress and Oscars age starts to show only then can Forbes start thinking about winning and letting his shots go . He needs to work Oscar down the stretch . Give him no room to breathe and no place to run . If he does this he can stand a decent chance of getting a decision

For Oscar to win all he has to do is turn up and let his skills take care of business.

Game,
I rarely see ANYBODY say something positive or at least neutral or unbiased about ODLH.
Considering that ODLH punches harder Forbes should stay away from exchanging punches.
