    @147. Two tall rangy boxer punchers with a very good amateur background. Forrest was technically the better pro but Breland still had enough power to hurt Forrest. Who ends up getting stopped here?

    Forrest should be the favorite, but I wouldn't pick him with 100% confidence. Breland's a live underdog in this one. The safer bet is on Forrest though.

    I think Breland was supremely talented, but lacked the intangibles. Forrest has better power and I do think he can seriously hurt Breland when he lands his right hand.

    Forrest via UD or possible late stoppage.

    Forrest wins but I think Breland edges him in power especially with the right hand. Sadly his chin usually failed him even when he had his opponents hurt.
