honestly...i thought forrest would walk until i realized,"hey,the guy`s 37 years old"....thankfully,these odds were so steep they even precluded forrest from being any kind of helpful parlay fodder.....
and imo,that was the difference...forrest was having his way early,and around the 5th or so,he hit the wall .......he was complaining in his corner that he was winded....father time does that to old folks...
i`d like to go back to the glove issue...i noticed it right off the bat...forrest wearing pillow-like "grants" while mora was wearing compact little everlast gloves.....at first i thought it was the green and white 2-tone color of forrest`s gloves that gave the illusion of being almost sparring type gloves...
mora`s were tight,round and compact...forrest`s were almost square looking and were more heavily padded...i thought it was an illusion,but,now i`m sure it wasn`t...i`m sure they must`ve both been using 10 oz. gloves because this was fought at jr middle and not welter....
if anybody taped the fight,take a look...i`m not shittin` you...
i`m not sayin` mora won because of the gloves..forrest`s age did him in imo....but,being the puncher in the fight,i don`t think his wearing those pillows was a very smart move....
just sayin`...
heres a comment i pulled off a boxing forum awhile back after another fight i watched had me questioning the glove brand...
""""Grant gloves are comparable to having goose-down pillows strapped to your fists, they are way too wide and were designed for defense moreso than for offense, Reyes gloves are still built for power punchers, they are more sleek and can cut thru the guard easier than Grant's....YES, Grant's do look better than Reyes or Everlast or Winning brand gloves, but I'd rather see KO's than flashy gloves"""....
