Forrest Sounds Off Against Mora! |
|
According to a report from
the fightnews website WBC super welterweight champion Vernon Forrest went crazy
during a teleconference when upsets by Contender stars Alfonso Gomez and Brian
Vera were mentioned. "I'm no Arturo Gatti nor am I Andy Lee. You've got to
realize who you're dealing with. I'm completely another level....there won't no
upset come next Saturday, so trust me on that one. You can forget about that
sh*t!"
Forrest does have a good
point.
Vernon is a proven fighter, he beat Shane
Mosely twice and moved up to win a title in another weight class.
But this is also a
testament to what Sergio Mora is willing to do to win a championship. He is finally stepping up to the plate after
very weak competition recently.
The question is: Does Vernon
Forrest have the tools of a Miguel Cotto or Joe Calzaghe, to make Sergio Mora look like a Pretender instead of a Contender? There is only one way to find out and that is why it
will be in the fantasy league this season along with the other fight on the
same card Carlos Quintana vs. Paul Williams.
The fights
takes place on June 7th on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING (live at 9 p.m. ET/PT,
delayed on the west coast) from the Mohegan Sun in
Uncasville,
Connecticut. Get your predictions in before fight time!
