Both Oscar and Steve are warming up in the dressing rooms. De La Hoya, who overlooked Felix Sturm before his fight with Bernard Hopkins, assured that he would not let that happen again in his career. He is paired back up with Floyd Mayweather Sr for this fight, and Jeff Mayweather is in Steve Forbes' corner. Forbes, former champion and star of the Contender series should give Oscar a good tune-up fight before the rematch fight with Floyd Mayweather jr in Sept.

As the national anthems are sung, Oscar gets his gloves tied on , and is sporting black and orange gloves and trunks. Forbes is dressed with black gloves and black trunks.

27000 fans have packed the soccer arena. Forbes comes out first to the Erythmics "sweet dreams", and looks loose and ready to go. On a side note, thats a long ass walk to the ring. Probably a good 1/4mile walk

Unusually long waiting time, but Oscar now makes his way down the tunnel of the stadium and toward the ring. He comes out to a mexican song and I have no clue what it is. Oscar has a determined look on his face, I think he means business tonight.
Another side note- were those cornermen jackets designed by Queer Eye wardrobe staff?

Round 1: Oscar is finding a home for the left hook early when forbes moves forward, could be a problem later. Both men are flashing good accurate jabs. Forbes landed a nice combination near the end of the round. Oscar focused on jabbing in and then landing hooks to the body this round. I would say the round went to Oscar, but it was a closer round for scoring.

Round 2:
Oscar applied the pressure and landed effectively in the round. Forbes was mainly covering up during the pressure and then would retaliate with quick combinations of his own. Oscar is still looking for that left hook upstairs on forbes. This round goes to Oscar. He was also on his toes and looking comfortable this round

Round 3:
Oscar used his range to out jab forbes and land the cleaner shots here. The easiest round for Oscar so far.
