    I honestly thought Forbes was about done in the fifth or sixth rounds, but he hung in there, continued with the ol' "up-jab", and went the distance.

    So I think it's good for him. But I do think there was a considerable size difference, Forbes should be fighting around 140-147, IMO.

    But on the same token, I thought Oscar looked fantastic, he was relaxed, good hand speed, movement.

    One problem- his face was a little bit busted up (not much) by Forbes. He's going to have to make sure he doesn't fight the exact same way he did last night against Mayweather, or he'll lose by TKO instead.

    Absolutely categorically untrue (unless MP and his management are as delusional as some of his fans).

    Pac has no business moving up from SFW, let alone to Oscar's minimum weight of welter.

    Steve Forbes KO3 Manny Pacquiao at 147. :nod

    This fight was really a warm up fight for DLH.
    Obviously having a scheduled fight after Forbes leads me
    to beleive DLH was looking past Forbes.
    Although I do beleive DLH has much respect for Forbes as a fighter!

    DLH is fighting 3 times in 2008 and will offically retire as a fighter.
    Personally think DLH needs to close this chapter and open up another.
    Boxing development would be great. GBPromotions is really in its prime!:hi:

    Agree!! Was a great fight for Forbes.
    He is looking past the loss to the greatest.
    Forbes has his eye of the tiger on his next oponet. Wouldn't you like to know who that is?!?!

    What do you think of NAS new leaked track??

    Album gets pushed back!
    Im patiently waiting the release:thumbsup:thumbsup
