For all discussions of Mora vs. Forrest II.

I gotta go with Mora in the rematch once again. He's the younger, and possibly more hungary fighter. If Forrest doesn't get tired this time, he'll have a great shot at winning. He was winning after the first 6 rounds of the first fight, but lost it down the strech. I think Mora will be more confident though, and that herky jerky style is going to give anyone problems. Forrest will have a hard time with the style of Mora, and is going to get outworked once again. Some of the rounds will be close, but I feel Mora will be busier. Mora made me a fan last time out, and hopefully he'll come through again. Mora by close decision.

Battle of the Snakes.

I don't like Forrest at all, and I'm rooting for him big time in this one....that should tell ya what I think about Mora...lol

Forrest was doing well in the early rounds of their 1st fight but Mora outhustled him. Forrest age is his downfall here.

Not much happened in round 1..feeling each other out and respecting each other...Forrest 10-9

I'll give round 2 to Forrest 10-9

BAD CLASH OF HEADS and the ref didn't do anything! Forrest was affected by that.....both ok......Forrest wins round 3 10-9

Seems to be going just like the 1st fight did in the early rounds.

the snake is getting smacked.

Forrest takes round 4 10-9

Forrest wins round 5 10-9

I'm not watching the stream....just listening to the audio....sounds like Mora is gettin' beat up in there...

Get Him FORREST!!!!!!!


Vernon might get the KO

Looks like Forrest actually prepared this time.

round 6 for Forrest 10-9

Round 7..MORA DOWN. 10-8 for Forrest

vernon bringing heat..i hope for a stoppage!

Round 8 to Forrest 10-9

He seems to have made good adjustments.

Forrest wins round 9 10-9

Cool round

enjoying this fight.

i have a feeling Mora will swing and catch Vernon..OUT COLD!!

Round 10 to Forrest 10-9

I think Mora did more in round 11 but in my opinion Forrest still won it 10-9

Let's see Forrest fight Phillips or Santos.

Forrest wins round 12 10-9

120-107 Forrest for me. Maybe Mora won 2 rounds at most

Mora looked very discouraged all night..

GO FORREST!!!!

And NEW!!!

Forrest deserved that win ..... He fought his heart out.

Nice...Mora's biggest win was a fluke...HA!

Forrest was very professional. Just pure boxing from him...Mora didn't know what to do.

I like how the 154 pound division looks. You have 2 old vets Forrest and Phillips, an undefeated European Sergei, Not so young Santos and the still dangerous Spinks.

Verno Philips would have a chance vs. Forrest IMO

Phillips can beat anyone at any given time. If the Forrest of the first Mora fight shows up he loses to Phillips.

Verno doesn't have a high KO ratio but he can punch. He really hurt Quartey a few years ago..the same Quartey that nearly beat Forrest.

I think Forrest could outbox him but Verno is a tricky vet.

Thank god.

Now I don't have to listen to Doug Fisher and JD back make cases for Mora.

The Latin fake falls back to 'pretender' status.

The world is as it should be.

WOOO FUCKING HOOOOO!!! GO THE VIPER!! I'm so damn wrapped that Forrest could pull off such a convinsing win in the rematch, as I found it slightly degrading he lost to Mora in the 1st place!! I scored the fight 120-107 for Forrest! Not that I saw the 1st fight, but it seems the BIGGEST difference in the 2nd fight was The Viper brought back that world class jab of his!! Forrest may not be a KO artist but this dude can seriously crack when he wants to and only if Mora was less slippery Forrest would have gotten the KO tonight!!!

LOL!!!!!!!!!!

I picked Forrest in their 1st match. I picked Mora in the rematch... Go figure... Happy for vernon... ATL in the house!!!!!!! Thats a great omen. Must mean the Falcons will beat Tampa Bay tomorrow...

Sweetest result for me of 2008..Forrest had a huge smile on his way to the ring...lol...really calm before the fight and whooped that ass

Mora showed some toughness which I'll give him credit for.

Both fighters looked like sh*t tonight Mora was just total garbage.

Maybe Mora did but Forrest didn't..

He did to me he was pretty gassed out aswell and couldn't finish Mora off who was ready to go I think Verno Phillips would beat the sh*t out of Forrest.

Haha fuck mora

Vernon looked good!! I doubt Verno can beat him. I would like to see Paul Williams vs Vernon Forrest but I doubt Al Heymon would make that fight!

Forrest versus Phillips or Santos is the fight to make. SERGEI DZINDZIRUK might be the best fighter in the division but he's pulling a Chris John and fighting bums in his territory. After he beat santos The Ring had him rated high but now they dropped him to 9.

All in all, the Super Welterweight division might not have the most exciting fighters or the most famous but it certainly features a set of solid pros.

No doubt Vernon looked better than in his last fight but he didn't look as good as say the Baldomir fight though the style of the opponent could have alot to do with that.

Woah woah woah Spinks & dangerous should never be used in the same sentence. he may be dangerous to your eyes if you are watching him fight but dangerous to his opponent I don't think so.

Come on Steve you know Spinks is very capable of pulling off the upset. I still think he beat Jermain Tatylor!
I can see him boring us to death with an upset victory over Vernon

That's what I was thinking right after Mora won the first fight..I knew Vernon would pull out the W..

I'm glad Vernon won. I've disliked Mora ever since he turned down the fight with Jermain Taylor because he thought he should get more money and not have to fight in the champ's hometown.

Sad to say, I wasn't positive Vernon could do it though. He's getting older, and his big claim to fame came against Shane Mosely...followed by 2 losses to Ricardo Mayorga.
Since then, his highlights have been a near/possible loss to an inactive Ike Quartey, a UD over a too heavy Carlos Baldomir and a loss to Sergio Mora.
