Supposedly the 27,000 seat arena is close to a sellout, so should be a good-sized crowd?
Any members attending? Mick?
ODLH - 4th round KO
Ortiz - 6th round KO
Garcia - UD
Jacobs - 2nd round KO
Castro - 4th round KO
Sanchez - UD
Curiel - UD
Munguia - KO
Pretty much everything has been said already about ODLH - Forbes, looks like most of the night is a showcase for the red corner, I gotta go with Ferguson to lose, Cherry exposed his chin badly in the last fight and while he is trying to be a slick fighter, his defense is not nearly tight enough to protect it. Does PBF still promote for Ferguson?
Is this tomorrow or next Saturday?
De La Hoya late TKO
I have nothing but respect for Forbes but Can Oscar really be proud of this one??My head says The Diva gets a 8th round TKO from the corner,My heart would like Forbes to turn the Plotted future for Mayweather Vs. DeLahoya on its pompous head and Forbes to out hustle/maneuver Him over 12...![]()
You think Forbes can Cory Spinks his way to a win or at least a close decision? I think that would be hilarious if that happened and that would take all the steam away from DLH - PBF II. But Oscar the promoter and the fighter, I bet the ring is the size of a California King size bed. I don't think it matters anyways though but hey, this is one time I wouldn't mind to be dead wrong somehow.
I do think though that if De La Hoya is dominant and more dominant then expected, that people will warm up this fight with Mayweather. Meaning if he goes out and you feel bad for Steve Forbes at the end of 5 rounds then Oscar has done a good job. If he comes out looking like a monster then this rematch takes on a lot more interest. We all knew Cotto was going to beat Gomez but when he absolutely demolished Gomez and then toyed with him, it made us think who would get in the ring with him. Oscar did that with Mayorga, he had a meanstreak in him he did against Chavez too.
If De La Hoya tries to outbox Forbes and possibly drag it to decision, I won't be impressed and in that case I hope he does somehow get outhustled. However, if he comes out with a meanstreak from the first round and pounds Two Pounds into the ground I think a lot of people would be impressed and think again he has the chance to beat Mayweather.
