    Okay well we know what the likely outcome will be and of course its a shitty fight when you already know that.
    I read that Forbes is trained by Roger Mayweather. Is that true??
    If so, dont you guys think its a bad idea for Oscar to fight him before fighting PBF??
    If i was Roger i would try out new things i would be planning on doing to DLH in that fight and see if they are effective and kinda just use Forbes as a test dummy.
    The outcome for the PBF fight heavily favored PBF. Oscar had in my opinion very little chance to pull the upset. Now i believe his chances are all gone.
    A trainer as good as Roger is probably thinking of all sorts of strategies to try on him and Oscar has no chance whatsoever now...

    Yeah this is a stupid fight for Oscar strategy wise for the rematch. I was going 60-40 Floyd but now im like u Oscar better hope he lands a few of them big lefthooks on Floyd none of which landed May 5th.

    I think his only chance was just thrown out the window with that move.
    I actually thought having Floyd as a trainer would help him but Roger is a smart man and im sure is using Forbes as a guinea pig.

    It won't have much impact. Oscar might see the stuff that they're experimenting with and be prepared for it, and he's already fought Floyd anyway. I doubt Floyd will fight Oscar much differently than before.
