Good stripp the Mo FO and make Martinez the Champ.
Sounds about right.

Forrest have taken that bekt for hostage.

This is the first time Ive agreed with a sanctioning body in a while!!!!!!!

good stuff. i think it is forrests fault for taking advantage of the wbc being leniant. cant wait to see martinez as the wbc champ.

[larry x]

i agree as well.forrest put up or step aside

Woot-Woot time for the beginning of a new era. Martinez will run the JMW division. Time for everyone to see what a real champ looks like, not a fake or a hype job or someone that wants to fight smaller guys.

It's about time! Forrest is trying to babysit that belt.

The wbc should make forrest fight paul williams, so paul can send him into retirement!

[Eric Holder]
