come aboard the Steve Forbes express.

It's practically impossible to not root for Forbes. I sure hope he wins!!

 

Not only do you want to root for him...but imagine the implications if he did win. :scaredas:

He'd be one of the few professional pugilists in recent memory who could legitimately claim to have shocked the world. As I said before, Carson would be the new Tokyo (to an extent, anyway...I'm certainly not comparing a half-shot Oscar to a barely past prime Tyson :yep).

Since it's ODLH, casual fans will be watching. And seeing an all around saint of an underdog like Stevie upset the Golden Boy, on live HBO, would be one of the best things to happen to boxing in a long time. It would capture people's imaginations and draw people in...consequences for FMJ-DLH II be damned (that **** was never going to save the sport). Now, if only I could believe in this miraculous outcome enough to take it seriously as a possibility :twisted: :yep...I mean, Stevie could bring a showstopping performance and still just be outmuscled (as he was against a bum several p4p classes below him in Brewer)...but hey, just maybe...he and Jeff can find a way. A way to turn an ostensible gimme tuneup for an unsolicited rematch into THE event of the year (and this coming from the biggest nuthugger of the Vazquez-Marquez trilogy alive).

 

***gots!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Careful, you don't want mommy seing the type of language you use when she's not around.

 

LOL at the fact that the Steve Forbes express is holding buckets of gasoline and poorly packed dynamite, chugging along on wooden wheels made from 2nd hand imitation bamboo.

Also, the conductor is smoking lots of cigars.

EDIT: If the conductor thinks that Forbes can win they may not be regular cigars if you know what I mean.

 

I'm in. I'm still pissed over the Sturm "tune up fight" win.

 

Hope Forbes wins + Lazcano beats Fatton

 

Oh man. :rofl

While I'd have a conniption if Judah were to beat Mosley, the idea of every single high-profile GBP-affiliated fighter losing one big fight after another for an entire year = :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl (and I say that as a huge JMM fan, and one that had him beating Pac by a point - what's done is done though, and having it be one piece of a huge hilarious equation would at least extract some worth from the decision).

Maybe Mosley-Judah will be cancelled or postponed to 09. :good

 

I like Forbes. Good luck to him!
