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, beforehand Based 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.
Ok, seen the fight now. And I mantain, tHere is no way anyone can tell me Forrest looked just as good last night as he did against Baldomir or Pichirrilo, or even close. Not saying those two were that good of opponents but that doesn't mean Forrest had to look very good against them. Last night he just looked ancient, showed very little to me, and even still won the early rounds and made it very, very close. Mora is not a top fighter, I thought Forrest still was. Obviously I was wrong about that. I mean if people picked Mora based on something they KNEW about Forrest, say they had the inside scoop that he was losing it, or didn't get up for the fight, then sure I'll give them credit for the pick. But it seemed the only people who picked MOra were sort of going out on a limb, or just picking the unpopular fighter for the hell of it *cough* Majesty *cough*.
