Verno Phillips wants Vernon Forrest

[BoomBoom]

This fight makes sence. They are the top 2 light middleweights, unless you include ODLH. Vernon would be the favorite to win, but I like Vernos chances. His style could work well against Forrest imo.

Yeah bro it does make sense! Ring mag ranks Forrest #1 & Phillips #2. DLH is 3. But with Oscar tied up with Mayweather this is the best fight that can be made at 154 IMO

Yeah it could work, Forrest is usualy tight solid and neat but can easily get put off his game with pain or distanceing and questions form in his own head and he goes off track a bit.

He looked solid against Baldomir & Piccirillo & an outstanding performance over Mora would set the fight up nicely!

Phillips could look at a fight with Bunema while Forrest deals with Mora

[Andre]

Yeah he did true,
Forrest has a style that is pure and he is solid while he gets his own way with it.
But looking at the odd times he has come apart it was a real unravelling and he couldnt get the act back into place.
I give anyone a hope with him for that reason.
Forrests style is all about control.

Which fights are you referring to? Apart from Mayorga 1 I think he's fought very well. The 1st time I watch Quartey/ Forrest live I thought Quartey had won but on reviewing the fight a couple of times I had Forrest winning each time!

[Andre]

I was mostly reffering to Mayorgas dismantelling of him.
I know styles make or break fights but that showed a chink in his armour that i feel is still there underneath this new and reformed Vernon.
I think he is solid ,always did, but I also think he can come unravelled if someone pulls on that thread again its not something you can train out, that type of thing is in the phyce.
Maybe its just me,but I never did see him (even as an amature) as being diverse enough to change tactics mid fight if required.

Ive been clinging to the hopes of a rematch there but No dice.I still think Ike nicked it,But Forrest had radar on those uppercuts,Really buzzed Quartey bigtime.Bunema is a wild card.Glad he crashed through the gates and he might stay on a role.My biggest regret of not Purchasing the Jones/Tito "event" was missing his sudden win.Just glad the Jr,Middles are getting some life.
