    Mora is +110 with Forrest -140 where I am looking. Although I was surprised when Mora won, it didn't appear fluky to me when I watched it. What will be different in the rematch? Why won't Mora be able to repeat what he did in the first one? Was Vernon simply flat and won't be as flat? Why is Mora the underdog? Maybe I need to rewatch the first one, wasn't the MD decision a bit generous to Forrest rather than Mora?

    I never thought Mora would win the first one but I didn't bet on Forrest because he was a huge, huge favorite so there was no money in it.
    I figured though that Mora had reached his level when he had such a tough time with Ayala, but I never watched that one.

    Mora looks like a decent medium sized bet at these odds against this opponent. Agree or disagree?

    Whilst I want to believe Forrest can do better than last time, Im sceptical. He might be to old, not 100% from the injuries and lacking in confidence because of it.
    I just thought watching the first fight however that a few more punches, some better tactics and a more spirited performance could have turned that fight which had many close rounds.

    Mora fought to his strengths last time and gave a decent showing.

    Forrest was a fav of mine for ages...I sooo want to believe he can beat Mora. But Im going to have to say that Sergio takes the rematch.

    Forrest will probably fight better, but there parts of Sergio's game that he can improve on too, and I think he will.

    I already put my money on Forrest when he was almost even odds, a few weeks ago.

    I think Forrest showed his age against Mora but he also fought a wrong fight. He looked too much for the right hand and didn't use his jab enough. I think he thought he could just wipe out Mora early on and underestimated him somewhat. Heck, come to think about it, i wouldn't be surprised if Forrest wins. I think it's 50/50 right now because of Forrest's age factor.

    I'm taking Mora in this fight. As most - didn't take him in the first fight - but I believe he can repeat what he did.

    It would be funny to see if Vernon can do what Paul Williams did in the rematch with Quintana. I would laugh my ass off.

    i think forrest badly under-estimated mora in their first fight,he will win a comprehensive decision this time.

    It wasn't just Forrest that underestimated him, I was shocked to see Mora pull it off.
