Vernon Forrest withstood a late rally by Carlos Baldomir to win the WBC super welterweight championship in a unanimous decision Saturday night. The 6-foot Forrest stood five inches taller than Baldomir and had a 6-inch reach advantage. Forrest (39-2) used left jabs to set up body and head shots with his right. Encouraged by his corner to aim for the body, he kept up constant pressure on Baldomir (43-11-6) with body shots as well a few shots to the face.
Baldomir, known for his tough chin, took a number of tough punches but didn't take shots to the body as well as he took the shots to his face. The Argentine used a plodding style in an attempt to wear down the more agile Forrest.
"Baldomir pushed me to the limit," Forrest said. "He kept coming and never stopped."
The judges scored it 118-109, 118-109 and 116-111 for Forrest.
"Carlos is no slouch," Forrest said. "He brought everything for 12 rounds."
