Sergio Mora......a champion?!?!?!?!?

Question

so i was so glad to look on yahoo for some boxing results and low and behold to find out that Sergio Mora had defeated Vernon Forrest to win the WBC Super Welterweight title!!!! Would you consider this win a upset and do you think that Sergio has solidified himself from 'pretender' to an actual 'contender?'

Answer 1

He won't last there for long

Answer 2

It is an upset and it is arguably the "upset of the year" so far.  I really hate Sergio Mora, but I must give credit where credit is due- I thought Forrest would dominate this fight and show the world that Mora's nickname should really be "The Latin Fake."  Forrest didn't do that and Mora got a deserved majority decision.  He is now a world titleholder and I can't really call him a "pretender" after beating someone like Vernon Forrest.  Even if Forrest was 37 and didn't fight his fight, Mora still did what HE was supposed to do.  I still think that he is an overrated fighter and it will eventually be proven, especially if he moves back up to middleweight like he said he was going to do.  Right now, the junior middleweight division has no real talent or young blood in it, so Mora winning a world title is a good but not great accomplishment.  If he tries that at middleweight against someone like Kelly Pavlik, I guarantee you that he'll get wrecked.

Answer 3

I think he might pull off the upset of the year by Ring Magazine at the end of this year. Sergio Mora fought a boring fight to me and Forrest was just winded and should seriously take the time to think about his career after this loss. Wow!!! Sergio Mora also said he would vacate the belt to move back to 160. If he does stay the 154lb division would be the most tainted division ahead of Heavyweight. AGAIN WOW!!!

Answer 4

LATIN SNAKE!!

yea, he fought an awesome fight tonight.

Answer 5

He knows how to choose his fights so he will always do good. He has a h**l of a career coming up.

Answer 6

Is it an upset?  Absolutely... Forrest should seriously consider retirement.  Mora is STILL a joke.  He now has 21 wins and just 5 KOs...

His fight with Forrest was not so much Mora looking good as it was Forrest looking bad.  

As far as contender for Mora... he is pretending to be a pretender...he is easily the worst boxer hoilding a belt now.  He is even worse than the heavyweight belt holders.

Answer 7

I'm watching the replay of the fight now (well,was) and became bored so I went online to see who won. If its true and the Latin Fake,er,Snake won the fight,can anyone say,"Buddy 'the curse' Mcgirt?" The dude is a jinx.
