The match up will be televised live by HBO’s World Championship Boxing beginning at 10pm ET / 7pm PT.
Even if Steve Forbes is a former champion, his ring record is not that much impressive so he is the underdog here if we are speaking of probabilities of a win.
On the other hand, De La Hoya is very hungry for this seemingly tune up fight against Forbes because there is something cooking between the Mayweather camp and Golden Boy's camp so I am betting my bottom dollar that Oscar will have all the edge over Forbes here in this fight.
but even if this is the case, I would love to see the underdog win this fight.
