Manny Pacquiao watch out because Ledwaba’s back

Lehlohonolo “Hands of Stone” Ledwaba was reborn on Saturday night in Brakpan, South Africa, putting on one of the finest performances of his career and clinically dissecting and out-boxing the classy Cassius Baloyi over 12-rounds in an IBO junior lightweight world title bout.

The evening, which should have been filled with celebration, was instead ruined by the most incompetent judging I have ever seen. Ledwaba was not robbed in this fight; he was raped by three men who have no business being near a boxing ring.

That the decision was given to Baloyi was a sick joke. My advice for Ledwaba would be to forget about the IBO and Baloyi and to resume talks with Manny Pacquiao.

Ledwaba’s back and he’s spitting fire!

He's back? I didn't even know he was gone(?!) Anyway, he's the least of Pacman's concern at the moment - with JMM, EM, MAB in line. :cool:

You are not serious, I am not asking you I am telling you...you are not serious. I very rarely feel bad for a fighter in the ring...when Pacman fought Lehlo I felt really bad for the guy, he was getting murdered, broken down, ripped apart etc. I felt bad as well for Vicky Sosa when he fought Cotto, that was brutal as well but not quite as brutal as pac and ledwaba.

You may want to see Lehlo get another crack at the pac but I no of one person that never wants to see pac ever again...that would be none other than Lehlo Ledwaba.

It's still amazing to me that Pacquiao brutalized him like he did.
Ledwaba is a really skilled, classy fighter.

The news article was actually by Deon Potgieter (www.thesweetscience.com).
Personally, I am not in any way interested in a Pacman-Ledwaba II. It's just not worth anything, and Pacman has a lot of much better prospects ahead of him.

I had no clue who this manny guy was when I watched him fight lehlo, I had watched Ledwaba like three times systematically break people down, he wasn't very powerful altogether but he was very skilled you are right, watching him in between rounds I felt like he was slowly dieing. My friends wanted to know who this pacquaio was and I had no answer for them, the only thing I could say was this manny guy must be pretty ****in good because Lehlo is a damn good fighter to have this done to him.

Most boxing fans didn't give Pacman the odds to beat Ledwaba. Ledwaba was one of the most promising jr featherweights at the time. These same people can't still believe that Pacman pulverized him and sent him into oblivion.

Never heard of this cat but it sounds like his fight versus Manny was a war or at least a one sided beat down. The first time I say Manny was again Sanchez

You need to see the fight, Ledwaba was pretty highly regarded and after the seond round you could see that he wanted no part of this **** anymore...It was much more of a beatdown then the one Barerra recieved but MAB after the third wanted to quit against Pac too.

Thanks for the info bro. Ima see if I can find the fight. Is Ledwaba Filipino also

Ledwaba is an African who got a beating of his life by Manny.

Ledwaba is a South African.

in the fight, larry merchant was talking about how he's from a village in africa called soo-way-too (that's how he said it. i'm not sure how you spell it). yeah, that was a hell of a fight. after a few rounds, looked like ledwaba didn't know where he was. also, manny was a late sub. ledwaba was supposed to fight another opponent. talk about bad luck... :(

Of all the possible subs in the division, he had to pick Pacman. Ledwaba never knew what hit him!

I am sure that Manny Pacqaio is REAL scared of Ledwaba.

I mean, fighting JMM and calling out Barrera again? He is CLEARLY ducking Ledwaba.

lol, that's a funny one, I think for now before anything else the PAC should take care of the 3Ms (Marquez, Morales, Marco) first.... :D

f.f.sake ledwaeba might have been a threat 5 plus years ago.

who started this thread? theres plenty of threats to manny but ledweba aint one of em.

Ledwaba? Give me a break. This is a guy coming off another decision loss to an unknown fighter before that. Baloyi is a good fighter, but like Philip N'Dou, he was untested and unproven and coming off another one of his trademark layoffs.

I live in Johannesburg, South Africa and am able to help with info. Larry Merchant should have clued himself up before making a jackass of himself. Soweto, stands for South Western Township. In the old days, when SA was under the National Party Government, all Africans living & working in cities, stayed in what was referred to as townships.
Rural Africans lived in their own villages, dotted throughout the country.
The townships in all major cities exist to this day and are occupied by millions of lesser off in financial terms, people.

I watched the fight. Ledwaba fought an extremely off form Baloyi. Even then, he was unable to capitalise. Both he and Baloyi are not worth feeding! Manny would KO either of them within 1 to 2 rounds. Yes, the judging on the night left a lot to be desired. Rematch on the cards next year? They say so. I for one, will not even waste my time watching that crap again. He is totally washed up! Even if he beats Baloyi, I certainly don't think that he relishes a rematch with Manny....No matter how good the purse is!

Ledwaba, a few years ago, looked great against mediocrity, until the Manny era transcended.

I agree with Silverfox, I don't think Ledwaba is in the league of Manny Pacquiao now. Three years ago, yes but the way Manny has progressed by leaps and bounds, Ledwaba is lightyears away (so to speak) from even getting a fight with Manny let alone beat the guy who is reaching the peak form (physically and mentally) in his career. The writer who is probably from South Africa only wanted to get some attention of sort from the boxing readers for Ledwaba who ironically lost his recent fight against Baloyi.

All I can say is dream on, but nice try! :D :confused: :rolleyes:

Yes totally agree to silverfox,this is not the right time for ledwaba to deal again w/ manny or else he got suffered in second time arround...

He should keep his eye on the ball and watch out for JMM. He is the top man on his list right now. And also the featherweight champ, and the one he has pending business with.

I am sure that Manny Pacqaio is REAL scared of Ledwaba.

I mean, fighting JMM and calling out Barrera again? He is CLEARLY ducking Ledwaba.

lmfao!!! :D :D :D

Lebwada . . . is not a factor or a force to reckon with in the featherweight . . . he needs to earn his right to face Manny again.

Or it could be that of a star's tune-up opponent. Manny should have considered him... :rolleyes:

manny might actaully kill him this time :eek:

manny might actaully kill him this time :eek:

Pacman may not actually kill him, but he runs the risk of getting clobbered again like the first time, or like 3K. Anyway, Ledwaba has to wait in line. Long, long line! Pacman has bigger fights in sight in 2005 - JMM, EM, MAB. :cool:

I can visualize Pac salivating,licking his chops!
