The official: manfredo vs calzaghe.....

brutal stoppage. joe was over anxious sloppy. pete was ducking them at the end waitin to plant that shot as he was getin gassed.. waste ot time and hype. a night i hope to forget.. what a joke.

Yeah it seems Frank Warren ruins a lot of these guys. I mean Calzaghe has great talent, and it's finally when he is at the end of his career that he gets worldwide recognition. Amir Khan's opponent tonight was ridiculous. i have to give credit though to manfredo for traveling so far

Warren slags off calzaghes decent opponents, then he tries to sign them!!! Frank Warren is a disgrace to british boxing with his piss poor one sided fights. He allways avoids top contenders because of money only ie wont earn if they get beat. I like Terry Marsh, he was an excellent fighter. he will prob get calzaghe in the ring w/ winner of pavlik vs miranda less risk than winner wright vs hopkins

It would be nice if Calzaghe's promoter could get him a good fight. I'm sure Calzaghe is not happy with the outcome of the fight.

i agree on that, we need real fights not mis-match fights.....like williams vs margarito Actually i hope thats a fight HBO shows. I don't think that one is a mismatch.

Come on lads u should know this has fcuk all to do with boxing.. Its gormless little yanky fossys that are bitter cuz an american got sent home with nothing but a mark on his nose sorry lads this guy is full of it :bottle: im a yank and i was rooting for calzahe and im pissed cause i didnt get to see anything worth dragging 5 of my friends over here to watch.. its a disgrace, has nothing to do with calzaghe, but anyone who says that wasnt premature is full of shit... id have to watch it again but im prety sure the last clean punch that was even landed was clearly on the back of the head... at not point did manfredos body language indicate he was badly hurt... obviously calzaghe was gonna win the damn fight but it should not have ended then and there. if a standing 8 count was in effect that would have been a perfect time for it it hurts calzaghe and helps manfredo that the fight was stopped like that... :banana: yeah man, us yanks were all packing together jamming 50 people per living room to root for out hero peter manfredo!! Whatre we gonna do now that our savior has been vanquished? :banana:

You know, I really find it fascinating that a referee's premature stoppage translates to the winner being shit and overrated and everything else anyone can think of (who already disliked him before the fight, of course). The REFEREE erred. Not Calzaghe. Calzaghe dominated Manfredo as if he were a child. Exactly as advertised. He's still trying to punch as the ref is seperating them. When Steele stopped Ruddock, was Tyson shit? NO! Steele was the focus, Tyson was just a fighter doing his job. LOL Think about it, seriously. I'm amazed at the stupidity from some people on here. Bash the ref for a premature stoppage, bash Manfredo for a shit showing and going fetal, but bash Calzaghe? For what exactly? LOL

Manfredo landed the cleaner shots in this "match?" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- final stats total punches calzaghe manfredo landed 61 16 thrown 210 73 perct. 29% 22% power punches calzaghe manfredo landed 40 15 thrown 114 44 perct. 35% 34% so to answer your question yes he did....if he would of use some movement he would of been ok but he didn't

Manfredo landed the cleaner shots in this "match?"

There was nO suprise in the result of this fight!! It should never had taken place...I knew it and so did many others, Dont believe the hype..

i agree on that, we need real fights not mis-match fights.....like williams vs margarito

Manfredo was in the fetal position, thats why he took them, plus if they weren't hard shots (and I dont think they were) why didn't Manfredo throw back? This isn't about Calzaghe this is about a crap referee and a poor display from Manfredo. BTW he was representing America tonight and fought like a girl, why not pick up on that? lick some more joe c balls. stoppage was premature, its that simple.

roach is prob. thinking damn thank god i wasn't there, lol

what a terrible stoppage.

After this fight it proves Joe needs to step up and just fight the big names. This was a total mismatch and even though that stoppage sucked. Manfredo would have kept getting his ass kicked. I don't care if Calzaghe doesn't come to the U.S. I just want to see him in there against real fighters not reality fighters. Emmanuel Steward is right the best and probably the fight most of us want to see in the SMW division is Calzaghe/Kessler. Joe is wrong when he says he will expose Kessler like he did Lacy. Kessler is a lot better and should give Joe the fight of his life. As an end note. HBO needs to stop showing these mismatches (Calzaghe/Manfredo, Wlad/Austin). Hopefully the Showtime card tonight with Corrales and Clottey will be a lot better.

Manfredo allowed himself to take around 30 unanswered shots??? shots? yeah if it were tyson you could say that or any other person whos not a limp wristed osteoporis inflicted reject, this guy could not knock down a toddler guaranteed, please can we ban boxing from the uk if they are gonna pull this crap, my grandma can take 500 unanswered shots from that slapper, good strategy from this fucking useless turd, just overwhelm people with a million punches that will never ever hurt and hope the ref stops it, this dude sucks hes the weakest human ever to walk the earth Manfredo was in the fetal position, thats why he took them, plus if they weren't hard shots (and I dont think they were) why didn't Manfredo throw back? This isn't about Calzaghe this is about a crap referee and a poor display from Manfredo. BTW he was representing America tonight and fought like a girl, why not pick up on that?

I will give u a prop to stick up ur arse m8 hehehe sounds like a bunch of females up in here! Playa Hatin Hate the game Bro...

Taylor: Would be a repeat of Calzaghe- Lacy, except with more hugging from Taylor. Hopkins: Would not be able to keep up with Calzaghe's pace. Wright: See Above ^ Right...A more seasoned/talented fighter would know how to stop that pitty pat shit that he was doing. No way he would he be able to get away with that shit with the fighters I named above. Just in case...I'm in no way saying that Manfredo would've won anyway. You're giving him too much props.
