What is really stupid is people getting excited about a fighter ranked in the top 20s beating a fighter ranked in the 500s. Forero had lost 4 out of his last 5 fights, 2 by KO. His only win in his last 5 had the incredible record of 4 and 21. I understand Dibella wanting to showcase their new signing but please lets just see the fight for what it was....... one fighter ranked in the 20s against another fighter ranked in the 500s.
A simple eye test tells you all you need to know about george kambos jnr, theres more to the fight game than just numbers/rankings records etc, hes clearly very talented and has a big future, it was a great performance none the less, regrdless of the rankings.
I like George, was impressed by him in his fight with Ogilvie but at this stage in his career i would prefer him to be fighting guys in the top 50 not 500.
Im sure alot of people would like to see george tested, it will come in due time, this is the promotional stage for george atm as to crack the us casual market and get noticed, a few easy beats to look spectacular then the bigger challenges will come, including a world title shot, boxing is a business and lou dibella knows exactly what he is doing with george. Time will tell with george but i dont think anyone has dominated forero like that, bum or no bum. wou
Memorial thread, Australian? Are they having a memorial for Horn before he gets killed in the next fight with Crawford already?!
Did u read InternationalButt post no 31 ? U didn't did u ? And my good fellow if u did a background check on this fight u would realize this opponent was only finalized in the last week.
George Kambosos Jr is a exciting fighter. Now signed to Di Bella Entertainment who also have HW champ Detonay Wilder. George is expecting even more big fights overseas. George " This didn't just happen overnight, we've been in talks for a long time. One thing leads to another and the door opened to sign with Lou. He's got Wilder at the moment and Wilder will fight Joshua it is going to happen. They're going back and forth with the money side, but it will happen and u will find me on the undercard. I'm with Lou now, so hopefully we can get Anthony Crolla or any other UK fighters. I had my eye on Crolla since he was world champ two yrs ago. That's a fight we truly believe we can make an impact on and Lou it make it happen. ''

I see Lauryn Eagle is still "banging around", so to speak, in with TBA on Friday. Doubtless will be of the same impeccably high caliber as the rest of her opponents during this 11-0 (8) run over the last four years. Probably another hapless Muay Thai lass dragged over for a glorified spar.
