Peter Manfredo Jr. Stops Donny McCrary in Two-Rounds

Published

In his third ring appearance of the year, super middleweight contender Peter Manfredo Jr. (31-5, 16 KOs) picked up an impressive win when he stopped Donny McCrary (24-8-2, 13 KOs) in two-rounds at the Twin Rivers Events Center in Lincoln, R.I.

“I feel like I can be in there with anybody and everybody at this weight (168). I’m enjoying boxing now. I’ve put the Lacy fight behind me. I blew that one. We wanted to get this fight out of the way first and now I’ll be calling out a lot of people. I’d love to get Biko if the offer is right. If I have to fight guys like Froch or Pascal to get a world title fight I will. I kept hitting this guy with rights and then got him with the big left. I knew he was going to come out and bang with me but I’m too sharp for him. I kind of got robbed of the knockout, but I’m glad he didn’t get hurt,” Manfredo said.

After Terence Crawford Feud, Are Sanctioning Bodies Bad For Boxing?

In today’s episode, the crew breaks down one of boxing’s biggest debates after Terence Crawford went on his Instagram to complain about the WBC. Are sanctioning bodies simply part of the game, or have they completely lost control of the sport? We also take a hard look at the Ring title and ask whether it can still be considered legitimate if champions are not required to defend it.

Thats good to hear. Manfredo is a less the world beater fighter trying to make it against the whole world. I have respect for anyone who can lose as many as badly as he has and keep on trying.

manfredo isn't he the guy who got brutally ko'd by calzaghe? didn't even get hit and the ref saved his life. cortez should have stopped the fight after windmill boy got knocked down in the first. at least he would have a reason unlike the manfredo ref. would have been sweet justice.

That's pretty shocking... Bika, Bute and Green are pretty good fighters... I can't believe douchebag one-upped all of them.
