Calzaghe-Manfredo Stoppage Comments

[-Hyperion-]

Well Lacy was at least still trying to fight. He was active enough to not stop the fight. manfredo had frozen, and I don't think he had the strength to go on much longer or the power to land a lucky punch.

man, give it a break, most guys(even calzaghe fans like me) accept it was a bs stoppage, live with it...especially when no one is bashing joe....

It was a bit too soon to stop the fight, but Manfredo gave the ref an excuse to stop the fight by not doing anything, whereas Lacy didn't give the ref that excuse. And I still maintain that the ref did Manfredo more favours than Calzaghe by stopping things that early.

yea just the fact that peter was just fine shows he was waitin for joe to gas out.

Just like Muhammed Ali, right? I can't think of a fighter less like Ali than Peter Manfredo Jr...

manfredo and ali are nothing alike.

It's funny that so many people are suggesting Manfredo was using rope-a-dope to beat Calzaghe.

Calazaghe Is Joke

I just watched the manfredo fight and that was a serious joke, manfredo didn't have the best game plan but did'nt really pay for it either, calazaghe punches have no intent to hurt he wants to score and run away. And that little flurry he put on to end the fight was hillarious i've never really seen a world champion throw so many ***** slaps in a flurry, that stoppage was so bogus manfredo was'nt hurt at all and when the fight was stopped he slipped about 5 6 in a row then the ref stopped it. Never really seen that in a championship fight. JT, WINKY,BERNARD,DAWSON will **** this sucker.

Hopkins has been dodging calzaghe for a long time now, it's only recently he has said that he'd fight calzaghe if calzaghe comes to America. And something makes me think you're the same clown who said Jeff Lacy would kill Joe Calzaghe. hahaha, Jeff Lacy fans are so clueless. Joe Calzaghe has a higher percentage of throwing then any of the fighters you mention, thats why he gives every fighter a problem he fights. They're not use to that kind of work-rate. People can call calzaghe a slapper, but Lacy sure was bruised up and cut up at the end of the night, with not a scratch on joe.

Manfro did get popped couple of times in that fight and he was looking timid...you cant just clam up and except them not to stop the fight...yea bobbing, weaving, and blocking should help but he couldve done more...you could also punch back or taunt from a distance...it's part of the game...when Morales looks like he's about to go (except for the PAcman fights) he punches back immediately...Pacman raises his hand as if to say "is that all you got or bring it" .....you gotta look a live...Manfro should know this...he's a vet...he's starting to get on my nerves...like he's not for real...if he was bout it bout it he'd be asking for a rematch....
