Alright it's a deal.
Mora's going to do me proud. :)
If you are a glutten for punishment I will bet you a large some of rep which can be arranged......
If Mora was worth a damn, he wouldn't have been on contender.
In boxing, nothing is set in stone.
But this fight shouldn't be in favor of Forrest by such a large margin.
Yes Mora's on the contender... heheh Yes that can be bad.
I'll bet yah. How's this going to work, you got so much more rep power than me.
Re: Mora won't beat Forrest...
How many reps # do you have? I will bet the entire number of what you have. Or less than that if you don't want to cover.

Althought the ten year difference from what I've seen of late Mora wasn't even a flash in the pan... He was a spark in the pan....
Peter Manfredo, a clearly limited and ordinary fighter beat Mora in their rematch...(I don't care what the judges say)
Vernon has gone on record saying that from here on in he will be on the Attack...
Yeah Mayorga beat Forrest 6 fights ago but Mora is no Mayorga and with 5 KOs to his credit Forrest won't have to worry about making a mistake cuz he sure won't be afraid of even a lucky haymaker... That'll probably just piss him off.
Vernon by late KO or clean UD
No shat, But it would be nice to see the big nosed cocky fuker win...only to get clowned by Pavlik.

I'm off of here a few hours and the rediculousness comes out to play... What in Mora's skill set makes you think he can beat even a 37 year old forrest... He showed that he's on the same level as Manfredo and as much as I like him is NOT on the world level...
What was it in his skill set that set the hook for you...?
Was it his brash swagger walking into the ring only to be drawn against by a C level fighter?
Was it his ability to fight in spots and never fight 3 minuts per round?
Was it the fact he's not used to fighting at 154(except once a while back) and didn't even take a fight at '54 prior to jumping into a fight against a vastly more experienced opponant?
...or was it the fact that he couldn't knock out a drunk retard after bedtime?
... I'm just wondering.
Thanks
Re: Mora won't beat Forrest...
Mora's going to get smashed, I'm pretty confident of that.
Re: Mora won't beat Forrest...
Vernon Forrest has been more studly lately. Dare I say it, I almost like him. He's dropped the punch 'n clinch action for a more pleasing style and I think he'll continue that on Mora's face. And Sergio isn't exactly garbage heap. I think the Contender series was at 154, so he's been there. Mora is fast and he doesn't wilt under pressure. Forrest is going to have to pop him a good few times to get a KO. Otherwise, I think the Latin Snake has just enough in him to lose on his feet.

As far as Mora being a garbage heap... no. But what I said about him is true...
He is a spotty fighter that when on his game is a decent fighter... He doesn't nessesarily "wilt" under presure but Elvin gave him a run for his money... And he shouldn't have. If he had trouble with that presure what's Forrest gonna do with him?
And as far as Mora is fast? I'll fix that for you... Mora CAN be fast... He Can be...
But I agree this may not nessesarily be a KO bbut he won't win. Keep your eyes open for a KO around the 9th though.:boxing2:

Mora has the ability to make Forrest look like an old dinosaur. heh
I have no clue why Forrest is the clear favorite.
If I were a Mora fan, which I'm not, I'd bet on this one.
This is also Mora's first 12 round fight, we don't know if he'll have anything left in the championship rounds.
Ah, it's just Forrest he's up against. heh
Sorry guys, I've given up on Forrest long ago.
It's a clear choice IMO, heh. Mora via decision.
Is this the same Mora who needed a gift to get a draw against Elvin Ayala and barely squeaked by Peter Manfredo? This might not be the same Vernon Forrest who beat Shane Mosely, but I can promise Mora has never been in with a guy who hits as hard as Forrest, and Mora gets hit. A lot. This could be over sooner than Cotto/Gomez and nearly as brutal.

Vernon was just getting PISSED at the thought of an upset... He reamed more then a few people that said it was even possible... He's going to smoke Mora:puncher:
Re: Mora won't beat Forrest...
I wish you all would quit negative repping gyrokai because he won't have as many reps on the table to lose to me.

Gyrokai and POB go to the prediction thread I made and you will see. The mods have arranged these type of bets for me before.

No, no... I said ,"how's that?" cuz I repped him so he wouldn't be negative when the bet goes down...
Re: Mora won't beat Forrest...
For people that are totally confident that Forrest will win you have to remember that he's old and could be slowing down.
On the other hand you can't forget Mora's a bit shitty.

Fixed it for you.;)
