    24-25 Deezol at 5'07" is a superb example of a boxer who always looks past his opponents, fighting a few divisions away from his natural weight-class (Lightweight), this disadvantage made him a popular choice for Matchmakers looking for food for the prospects, despite the physical advantage he humbled a lot of VIPs

    An underdog is always better off looking past the favored opponent, those are the underdogs that occasionally make the upsets.

    So true! I was disappointed because I am a JRock fan. He’s a good guy and looked so good in the previous fight when he won the belt. That cut really did a number on him but he was getting hit pretty flush and it’s not surprising. I still think JRock will return and get his career on track. It’s just a loss. We need more fighters who are not afraid to take a loss. Too many guys protecting the 0. I know JRock already lost before this fight but I’m general, I don’t place the value on undefeated record that most current boxing fans do. Also, I love a comeback and hope to see JRock in big fights soon.

    Shane was a more accomplished pro but Forrest seemed to have his number. It happens. I miss those days but that’s another story.
