i'm new here, but I'd have to disagree with "Forbes" winning. You miss a lot of boxing with all the edits ESPN does to show the power shots. But you don't need to know a lot about boxing to know when you get knocked down in a fight and don't knock down or knock OUT your opponent, you better damn well dominate a good portion of that fight. My statement is ten fold when you are talking about a MERE FIVE ROUND fight. That's exactly what Brewer did to Bravo after he got stunned and knocked down early on. Bravo was a very formidable opponent.
Brewer is stronger then Forbes, and I assume this fight will be 10-12 rounds as it's the championship. It should be a great fight, but Brewer, I feel will win.

I know you miss a lot of boxing with the edits, but if you just watch the speed of those 2 fighters throughout the show, Forbes is much faster. And Brewer was lagging in many of those final rounds too. I watched Brewer vs Bravo and I actually think Bravo might have gotten a bad deal losing in that decision. But watching that fight all I could think of is that Forbes would beat either one easily. And yes, this fight will be longer than 5 rounds. I don;t usually bet boxing, especially my own opinions, but having watched the show I think Forbes is the side here.
I hear ya'. I just think it's tough to say "Bravo" got a raw deal when you agree you only see the edits. Remember, Bravo lost as a unanimous decision. It wasn't even split. If you watched the last 2 rounds, even the edits, Bravo got hit with twice as many power shots (at least) and definitely lost that fight. Brewer outworked and out punched him for 4 of 5 rounds. Again, to win a unanimous decision in a fight where you were knocked down, and it's only a 5 round fight, that's damn impressive.
I think Brewer in a longer fight may have a great opportunity to knock Forbes out. I don't bet boxing that much either (too many fixes) but i'd bet Brewer here (+)

I see Forbes is -230 and Brewer +190. I've watched the whole season and I'm 'rooting' for Brewer, but I just can't see him beating Forbes. Too much speed on Forbes side, one thing Brewer has on his side is his reach though. I didn't think Brewer could beat Bravo so who knows what'll happen. I don't know what/if I'll play something here. Maybe parlay the o9x with something, I don't see a KO here.
Agree with a lot of what Blitz is saying. Watched the whole series and just can't justify this line, Forbes is very likey better than Brewer but not -260 better in my mind. I'll take a small chance on the dog here.

Brewer is NOT stronger than Forbes. I like him, but his punches are fairly week. The thing about Forbes is he can turn it on whenever he wants. If hes motivated, he can throw a fury of strong punches and take over a round.
I like Brewer as a person but Forbes is the superior boxer and its not that close.
Brewer has a decent upercut, if you are going to take him, take him to win by KO.
