This fight has to be one of the dullest sounding in what has been an outstanding year thus far. Anyone interested in it? What are the rewards for the winner and the consequences for the loser?

This fight has to be one of the dullest sounding in what has been an outstanding year thus far. Anyone interested in it? What are the rewards for the winner and the consequences for the loser?
Yeah im interested in this fight . We know both guys and their styles will compliment each other
We have had afew good fights this year and although this may sound boring , it will be interesting watching it unfold. We arent expecting fireworks when Winky and Hopkins go at it but its still one to watch . Forrest can look like a clss fighter on his day and Baldy has beaten Judah and Gatti in good fashion .
Not a hard fight to call , Baldy is a one paced pressure fighter who fighte at a slow pace . Vernon keeps it long and uses a fast jab. I see a one sided boxing lesson from Vernon whcih opens the door for biger fights . Dont be surprised if Baldy gets another chance down the line either as im sure he will stay verticle for the duration and be chasing til the end .
I dont think I could manage to stay awake for it.......Baldo is who I favor because IMO Forrest can't stop him and Baldo will pressure the S*** out of him....Problem is I can watch 2 other fights at the start of his combo's and then come back while he is in the middle of the last punch...
Forrest was horrible against IKE who IMO was robbed on that decision....Forrest is shot!!!!!!!
He never recovered from the KO to Mayorga fully as far as the mental aspect goes.....
I rather watch the best of Jim and Tammy Faye Baker
Honestly........ Not even a little bit, Dont really find interest in either of them, and its not like the fight as any real signifgance for the division, Baldo had his cute little human interst story, and Forrest had his 20 sec of strdom for beating Mosely....
Exactly,with Baldo,he wa sin the right place,at the right time. He beat a lazy Judah and a shot Gatti. I actually do not rate Baldo although he has heart and is tough, I don't find his stlye nor his fights exciting nor even remotely appealing to watch.Quote:

I think this is for a WBC interim title,isn't Floyd the WBC 154 champ?
How would these 2 fare against the elite at 154? I thnk guys like Karmazin,Simms would beat these two up,especially Baldo.
That decision was outright criminal. I couldn't see any way to give him that fight.Quote:

I have to disagree Duke ;DQuote:

Yea but the wbc like people to be constantly paying them money so while floyd is in mid retirement sort of thing they want a bit of pocket money..Quote:

I think it's an entertaining undercard matchup. I'd like to see Baldy win another fight. Then he can upgrade his mop and bucket business and maybe become a taxi driver.
If Forrest wins he could actaully be considered as a fight for some of the top guys i reckon ,
not that im very interested in him fighting anyone, but just what i think will happen.
Well, whichever undercard this is on then I will surely be watching cause it is an interesting fight and I confess I have a soft spot for Baldomir, and any fighter who has dragged himself up from humble beginnings, and managed to stay humble.

Well if you were to draw an attribute chart about Baldo,and mentioned his robotic speed that what put him at a C IMOQuote:

Good Jaw
Throws in Combos
Good Defense
Decent movement
Constant in your face presure fighter
that is not a C fighter
Yeah I like this fight. Sort of like Thomas Hearns vs. Juan Roldan in a way.Quote:

When does this take place?
For a working-class-hero-Anthony Bonsante nuthugger, I would think you would be a little kinder to Baldy :)Quote:

You are one of my favourite posters but I totally disagree ith you here. Baldo is nothing but a C grade fighter:
Ultra slow
Good jaw(against who? Hassan Al? 3 blown up jnr WW? I don't remember him fighting a strong WW and showing a good jaw except v Clottey and he was backed up plenty of times in that fight)
Good defence(are you being serious? I highly disagree,I think he could get hit by nearly every punch in the book1)
Decent Movement(I have never seen someone plod along so slow)
I'll give you pressure and I'll add heart,the guy is a warrior but looking at these points,I see nothing more than a C grade fighter.
I do like his personality though,he is very humble and seems like a nice guy.
