Kevin Lerena W10 Scott Forrest ... South Africa’s Kevin Lerena got back in the win column with a unanimous decision victory over Scotland’s Scott Forrest on Saturday, November 7th at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg. After ten rounds, the judges returned scores of 97-92 (twice) and 98-91, all in favor of the former bridgerweight champion. Now 32-4, Lerena was coming off back-to-back losses to Lawrence Okolie and Ryad Merhy. Lerena used his considerable experience and southpaw stance to create openings against an opponent who remained competitive and withstood his best attacks. In the ninth round, the South African dropped Forrest with a right hook, but the Scotsman rose to his feet and made it to the final bell. The bout headlined “Knockout Chaos 3: The Return” and marked a successful return to cruiserweight for Lerena following campaigns at heavyweight and bridgerweight. His prior campaign at 200 pounds included the IBO crierweight title.
