    Im in complete shocked right now, I cant ****ing believe it. The Viper was one fo my favorite fighters, man ****!!!! What a way to start the week day.

    RIP Champ, you will always be remember as a true champ.
    I can recall going to some amateur boxing cards in mid 90s and Vernon was on the card, a reporter approched him and ask who he was, "Vernon responded Im Tito Trinidad jr" lol..The funniest thing ever....

    What can you say , damn that is rough . Always liked Vernon , even after his injuries he still was elite and represented boxing very well. He had a lot more to give.

    This is crap news....it sounds like after he was robbed he then pulled his own gun out and chased the guy for some time shooting at him before Forest then got shot in the back.

    Maybe others were with the robber?

    Its sad when a guy needs to pack a gun to defend his own stuff :-(

    Man, I've been working away for a few weeks and didn't hear about Gatti. That news and now this are both tragic.

    I went to Vegas to see Vernon beat Mora last year on the undercard of Casamayor vs JMM. Seeing him so happy and jumping into the crowd to celebrate with his family is the image of him that I'll keep forever.

    Rest in peace champs.

    Arguello, Gatti now Forrest. Did someone anger the Boxing gods or something?
