Anyone think Baldomir will beat Forrest?

I hope so as I cant stand Forrest for beating Mosley and being handed a gift agianst Quartey.

 

Apparently Baldomir was not given any credit for kickin Judah's ass and destroying Gatti. Floyd Mayweather didnt embarass Baldo, he embarassed himself, people started walking out from the fight because he was running laps.

Baldo has a real chance to win, and in fact, im picking him to win a decision.

 

Well its hard to judge his win over Gatti at this point seeing Gomez beat him even worse but Gatti did dominate a decent fighter in Damgaard heading into this fight :huh

 

:good
baldomir is the glen johnson of the welters. stopped gatti and made judah do all types of ****,gave clottey a tough time.

he has grown up the old school latino way fight anyone anywhere and learn the trade he did and he is doing very well.

but my problem is how small baldo is compared to forrest thats the only thing that gives it away.

a ud by forrest but a hearty showing

 

I pick Forrest to win by UD, but he won't be champ long

 

Baldomir by TKO 10

 

I agree Lance here, if Forrest gets some bad shoulder injury and has to forfeit, that's Baldi's best shot.

However, Forrest could win this one on his jab alone. Baldomir's an overrated gate keeper because he blasted out Gatti in 9 and got a win over a Judah who didn't even train and was up for 24 hours straight, losing every single round to Floyd, and a Floyd with a broken hand past round 5 gives me no indication that he can jump up in weight and lose a size advantage and then beat a crafty vet in Forrest.

Baldo was a journeyman for a long damn time, he's now back to that level.

 

Quartey applied better pressure with more power than Baldomir, and still didn't get the nod over Forrest...Forrest easy UD over Baldomir...

 

Yes, and Quartey even at this point is 5x the competitor in comparison to Baldi, even though he had a close one with Verno Phillips and lost his last two(I had him edging Forrest, but it was close). A close one with Quartey shows he's still top 10 IMO.

 

I wouldn't count Baldomir out, but Forrest has the advantage in power, athleticism, size, and technical skill. If he uses those advantages and fights smart, he should come out with a comfortable decision and the WBC 154 pound strap.

 

This is a fight between two opportunistic past champions. The only guy Forrest ever beat was Mosely (two good wins, don't get me wrong) and Baldo beat Judah and a washed up, overrated Gatti. I just hope the fight is semi-entertaining.

 

I think Baldomir has the size, strength and aggression to keep Forrest on the backfoot long enough to win rounds, but I see why Forrest is the clear favorite. Im leaning towards Baldomir, b/c hes fought better recently than Forrest has recently.

 

He also lost every round to his last opponent, one whom broke his hand in the 5th.

Lost 3 rounds or so against Gatti, whom an averagr fighter in Gomez won every minute of the fight a year later.

Won by 1 or 2 points against an underprepared, untrained Judah.

Doesn't impress me. Let's also bring up his draw vs. a very mediocre fighter in Cruz...:yep

 

If Forrest fights smart and right he can pull it off by decision.
