But since the two "Contender" fighters (Vera and Bundrage) have scored two huge upset victories, if it were to happen with Forbes, I wouldn't be as surprised.

Do I want Forbes to win? YES! Do I think he is going to win? NO!
Too be honest I was not overly surprised with the two contenders winning. I did actually back Andy Lee to beat Vera but expected it to be his toughest fight, it proved to be the case and I realised after four rounds that Vera was going to cause the upset. As for Bundrage I actually picked him to win as Ouma had increasingly shown an unwillingness to engage and I thought Bundrage had a chance of a close decision win. In this case however you have two proven fighters and anyone who has seen them or checked out boxrec.com knows what they are capable of. So there should be no surprises here. De La Hoya should win after all this guy was hand picked to be decent preperation for Mayweather. De La Hoya won rounds against Mayweather and fought competitively. Forbes would have lost widely to Mayweather so there is your answer. De La Hoya to win 117-111 or by stoppage in Rds 7-10
