    Forrest by UD is the safe bet, and most likely outcome. Surviving a few scares along the way. Mayorga gave Forrest so much trouble because he was so wild, and unpredictable in his attack, that it threw Vern off. Lopez was a measured, economical puncher who liked to pick his spots, and that plays more into Forrest's hands.

    Lopez does have a puncher's chance, and like I said would give Vern a few scares, probably even have him on queer street at some point. But I think he misses out on finishing the job, and spends too many rounds waiting, while getting outboxed in the process.

    Lopez would be much better suited stylewise fighting Mayorga. Lopez would have beaten the dog shit outta Mayorga.
