Pro boxer Vernon Forrest fatally shot in Atlanta | ajc.com
Pro boxer Vernon Forrest fatally shot in Atlanta | ajc.comIt kind of really sucks that we lost Gatti to a murder and now, Vernon Forrest. Vernon was a genius kind of fighter who could figure out the other guy and make him pay. What else could account for his two wins over the great Shane Mosely? Also notable is the way he took on Mayorga and made him look rough (which he is) and unschooled (which he was, last time I looked).
To me, those were greater accomplishments than his win over Sergio Mora, which brought him more notoriety because of Mora's participation on Ray Leonard-Sly Stallone Contender Series.
My condolences to Vernon Forrest's family and friends, as little as that may help.

In Memoriam: Arturo Gatti
Late in his ring career, Gatti was soundly defeated by Floyd Mayweather, Jr. but exhibited the highest standards of courage and determination in his three battles with the legendary Irish Mickey Ward. Gatti was one of a kind, and while the media has not paid as much attention to him as it has to football stars like Michael Vick or the late Brian McNair, the boxing world mourns the death of this great champion.
