I thought manfredo was doing alright up until Calzaghe really opened up.
Manfredo just wasnt mature enough to handle the speed, wasnt good enough yet. He froze and he really didnt know what to do.
But i think it was a real wakeup call and maybe a good learning experience.
Anyway, i think a LACY-MANFREDO fight on maybe HBO BAD would be sweet.
Manfredo had some good defense in that fight. Until the end when he was basically just moving his head and not even looking at the punches.
Its a way for LACY to try to get back into the spotlight and a way for Manfredo to redeem himself.
I think Lacy would win by KO, but i think it would be a great fight up until that point.
I havent seen nearly enough of Lacy to really analyze the fight though. I saw him in his Pro Debut, him getting beat up by Calzaghe, and that fight where he injured his shoulder.
So could someone who HAS seen Lacy fight a bunch, say what they think this fight would be like, and how Manfredo would fair?
yea was early. couple rounds of feelin eachother out tryin to counter punch. and joe came hard in 3rd. pete was waitin for him to get gassed so he could unleash on him cuz joe wa sobviously anxious. but ref stopped it.. mind blowing still kinda in shock.. Ive sene brutal knockdowns guy on dream street and no stoppage. what happened tonight was straiht up f#cked.
regardless.. fight should go on and we dotn know what it could lead to.. it was ridiculous.. ive seen wars where a guy goes down 3 times and come back to win.. you cant stop a title fight ike that..
manfredo was doing alright to begin with cause Joe was just finding his range and working his jab, as soon as Joe turned the heat up Manfredo looked lost
Maybe this fight will happen. I mean who is Lacy going to fight? He lost to Calzone, then wins a close fight with Tyspho (however that name is spelt) lol.
