Forrest vs Mora

Mora won a Majority Decision. Forrest looked in command and had the boxing ability over Mora. Forrest slowed down and got caught with a couple of shots that seemed to unsettle him mentally rather than physically. He switched off. Mora was changing style constantly and looking for the right system that would breakthrough or unbalance Forrest's obviously superior technique. I don't think he really outboxed Forrest,it was more a combination of Mora drive and Forrest lack of output.

There were times when Forrest caught Mora bang on,but he didn't sustain his attack constantly enough to take over the whole fight. Mora was sloppy and untidy some of the time,while Forrest kept his overall defensive security in check. At no point did it look like Mora could trigger a downfall,or produce a flash knockdown or knockout. It was that kind of fight. I can see how the judges would score it for Mora. I thought Forrest edged it. It was a close fight.
