    I'm not a fan of Forrest anymore? Try again loser, that fight actually had me down for the rest of the night.

    I'm still a fan of the Viper. TERRIBLY disappointed with the result last night. I think I am still in shock.

    Yeah, it ruined my night of boxing and I was feeling excellent about the right after the first 3, it's not like Forrest didn't have what it takes to continue dominating him, bad setback though at 37, for whatever reason.

    I wasn't a diehard fan of Vernon, but I tend to root for nice guys in boxing- and Forrest fits that bill. I'm more impressed with Mora's performance than I am down about Vernon's, and there's no reason to turn my back on him now. I still think VF could pick up a belt again if he's matched against Verno.

    I am a fan of many sports, but nothing quite rips your heart out like one of your favorite fighters losing to a fighter you can't stand. I am not a gambling man, but I would have been willing to put down good money on Vernon beating Mora.

    Yes, it didn't help that I truly felt and still feel that Mora is nothing in the equation of being a top fighter and that Vernon gave it away for multiple reasons. The first few rounds were so easy and then it just dropped off and Mora gained control, no stamina... bad tactics, bad corner from McGirt. Silly reasons to lose a fight that you had every ability to dominate.

    Yeah I am a fan, also because outside of the ring he seems like a great guy. The work and time he spends helping out disabled kids and putting lots of his own money into it is a credit to him and he is a very good fighter to boot.

    Vernon Forrest is a great fighter. he should fight Verno Phillips or a rematch with Mora. hes made a lot of money in his career though, i could see him retiring.

    I really like Forest.
    Especially in his fight against Mayorga.
    Scared shitless.
    Cant forget that one.

    Forrest has not been impressive since his comeback, and his loss on Saturday was a brutal awakening for those who misjudged his abilities.

    that being said, he is a great guy. I wish him all the best and hope he has been smart with his money

    Forrest was the next big thing and Mayorga ruined him. He had a big HBO contract and after daddy Mayorga wooped him, he just disappeared.
