Woah! You guys are weird?! Forrest looked ok v 2 pensioners, but Mora fought bigger guys and was motivated. I picked Forrest via points but check the other threads, I knew for sure it wouldn't be a beating for Mora!Mora beat Forrest ass imo.
And I don't see Mora being champ for long. He needs big fights but he'll probably lose in the smaller fights(he comes across as the kind of guy that needs huge motivation to perform)
Oh come on... And this isn't just directed at you, it's at everyone who picked Mora to win. How could anyone have possibly known that Forrest would look like absolute garbage and have aged 10 years since his last fight, beforehandBased on the form Forrest showed against Baldomir and Picchirilo, Forrest would have beaten Mora handily. To pretend otherwise is completely pretentious.
Well.and this is aimed at you, I've written quiet a few times that Vernon has not looked as good as he used to BEFORE this fight took place. Just because he looked decent at best v dinosaurs didn't mean he was going to beat Mora. I wasn't going to blindly follow everyone else proclaiming Vernon was the man etc etc just because of wins over Baldo and Piccirillo,2 punching bags.
And just because Mora looked bad in his last 2 fights didn't mean he was not going to win. I've been reading ALOT about Sergio's sparring with Margarito,Angulo,Kirkland etc and how he holds his own against them all so I thought he had a decent chance of winning.
Doug Fischer is the best writer and maybe the most knowledgeable boxing fan in the world. He called Mora winning,he stated the reasons why and he was right.
I don't care what happens now. What I cared about was that he won a belt.
This might be no bigger than Floyd beating Gatti or Baldomir for thier belts.
The critics said that Sergio would never win a belt. They were wrong.
They also said Sergio would never get another title shot and how soon we all forget eh? Not only did he get another title shot, he won that son of a biatch fair and square. I said it once and I will say it again, Sergio is pretty good but he lacks experience. He might not get much further but who knows.? He proved a lot of people wrong including me. I am glad I was wrong, I really am. I thought he had the goods but once he became stagnant, I began to loose hope.
This reminds me of Gomez beating Gatti. We didn't realize how completely shot Gatti was and we didn't give Gomez enough credit. Contender guys take a lot of crap around here. Same thing with Vera and Andy Lee. Feliciano sparked out the much hyped Delvin Rodriguez. Manfredo went the distance with Lacy in a fairly close fight (Giampa had the fight even in rounds, with Lacy only ahead because of the knockdown).
Just because the show made these guys more famous than other equally good or better up and comers does not make them crap or incapable of become excellent fighters. I'm not sure any of them will be ATGs, but they are better than a lot of people think.
I didn't see it and I ended up going with Forrest on points but I'm not sure anybody should be that shocked. I mean Mora's not a great fighter but Forrest is old, and has always been one dimensional. No one should get that much credit for beating Baldomir, no offense to Baldomir, he's a solid pro.
