How do you guys think Mora will do after the draw with shane, and now that he has a new trainer?
I had no idea that Mora had switched trainers, that's something that was long overdue IMO.
I actually think Vera has a decent chance of beating, and maybe even stopping, Mora. Mora is going to come out looking to put on an entertaining show after the farce that was the Mosley fight (at least he will if he has any desire to save what little marketability he has left), and I think that will leave him open to getting hit by Vera, a guy who is crude but who can definitely bang a bit.
Let us hope so !Quote:

I hope Vera comes on late to SMASH Mora.
Easy points win for Mora, he's elusive enough to not get caught like Lee did. Vera has been losing alot lately as well. Probably not gonna be an exiciting fight.
I too want Mora to get demolished, but he'll box Vera's head off.
I gotta say I like Mora...I know I am in the minority but I have talked with the guy a few times after I did an interview with him and he is a genuine fellow who really does not pretend to be more then what he is...Very humble and underrated....IMO Mora wins a UD after a few shakey moments
Fair enough.Quote:

I still hope he gets KO'd. ;D
I think it will be an interesting scrap. I think mora, but would like to see vera win it.
I like him a lot as well, but I've soured on watching him fight a bit after his last couple of matches.Quote:

I hope we get the repeat over here.
Fight starts in about 10 minutes or so. Last round of the Ximenez Jr fight.
My prediction: Mora UD...97-93
Screw that, go get him Vera!Quote:

I just got in, Miles can you give me a run-down of the fight so far?
Vera came out fast and won the early rounds. Mora has fought well in spurts since, but Vera appears to be outworking him and Mora is cut over both eyes. I think Vera is winning by at least a couple of points, but I haven't scored it.
I just started watching too. Mora looking a bit ragged.
The winner of this (or maybe even the loser if it's Mora) is going to be Pavlik's gimme comeback opponent. Book it.
Whoever loses is going to cry robbery I think.
Mora looking a bit better now, if he wins the last round then the scorecards can go either way.
Good round for Mora there.
Jesus Christ, is that Jeremy WIlliams in Mora's corner?
It is Williams. My God... Of all the trainers in the world he chooses Williams? Is this the fucking Contender all over again?
"Win it for your kids!"
"Last round of your life!"
Fuck off.
Seemed like a good fight. I thought Mora won 9 and 10.
That was much better than I expected, I really enjoyed that.
Not sure how they will have that. Vera outworked him signifincantly for the bulk of the fight, but Mora came on strong. Mora had a case in some of those middle rounds.
I liked Vera's work rate in the first two thirds, but will understand it being a draw. Mora certainly doesn't deserve the win.
Lupe Contreras sounds like the name of a Mexican crime lord.
I called it.
I'm glad Vera got the nod. He fought an honest fight and put the work in. I think Mora was partly coming on late because Vera worked so hard early on. Just got tired and sloppy. Mora had no real answer for it for the bulk of the fight.
Good win for Vera. He deserved it.
I think he and Pavlik will make for a good fight. He's a feisty guy like Zertuche.
Btw...Shobox is just starting.
Pavlik puts Vera in a coma within 6 rounds.Quote:

I agree. I think the first few rounds will be exciting like the Zertuche fight. Once Pavlik finds his range it's lights out.Quote:

Other guy's getting tired. I think Kayode will catch up to him soon.
9th round coming up. If this was an eight rounder I think Ianuzzi would've won.
Kayodee looked like crap, not a good outing. I actually thought the other guy won it. That stupid ref, what a bullshit score, two guys gave Kayodee way too many rounds. I thought Mora won, but he made it way too close in Veras backyard. Also that ring was extra small which helped Vera alot. The opening fight was good as well with a dramatic last round.
In the UK we get to watch it at 12 today. :)
Mora did about as good without a trainer as guys in court do representing themselves....Brian Vera is just simply a fighter he'll win some and loose some.
Good point....Though IMO Mora gave the fight away...Too much clowning and shit...Smiling after being caught with a solid shot...Talking to the ESPN crew etc....More never looked like he wanted to win the fight though he did act like he would win :-\......Mora is a better fighter then Vera....This was a fight he should have taken more seriously due to nthe doubts on him already and how it will effect his future...Quote:
