It's not the most exciting matchup, but a Mora play presents a good money-making opportunity. Forrest is past his prime, and he was consistently beat to the punch in the first matchup with Mora a few months ago. Forrest seemed to be having a career resurgence when he won a wide decision against Carlos Baldomir in July 2007, but that may have been a bit of a mirage as Baldomir proved to be a shot fighter when he lost to Saul Roman later in the year. Prior to the Baldomir fight, Forrest won a very controversial decision over a faded Ike Quartey. I see Forrest as being at the end of his rope, and there's no reason to think that his performance against Mora was just an "off night." Instead, I expect Mora to have greater confidence from the get-go, and he'll take the fight to Forrest in what should be a wide decision win for the Latin Snake.
