    Some guys just have another guy's number and no amount of analysis will explain it. Forrest just owns Mosley. He beat Mosley in the amatuers also.

    Pretty obvious why. Mosley cant jab well and cant defend jabs and Forrest has a great jab plus hes taller and has nice reach and he can time Mosleys speed and make it a non factor.

    I'm a Shane fan, but this version of events is bullsh*t, plain and simple. What concussed Shane in their first fight was one of the most beautiful counter uppercuts I've ever seen thrown. Sure he was bothered by the cut, but concussed by it? No. I agree however that it was a demonstration of incredible will to stay standing the full 12.

    I saw nothing in their second fight that suggested Shane deserved the nod. Long armed fighters with sound defense are his kryptonite, plain and simple.

    What cut? Shane wasnt cut. I said he was concussed. Go back and watch the fight dude. You`ll see im telling the truth.

    That's easy, as Forrest has shown in his fight with Quartey he's bothered by even a minimal amount of pressure when he fought Mayorga he was facing a thunderstorm of pressure, with punches coming from every angle, not to mention Mayorga's physical strength at 147.

    ..But in their first fight he just elected to trade (dip****) with El Matador and got TKOed.
