**** the ref

[Hitman932]

is there a standing 8 count?

if it was in effect this would have been a perfect example of when is should have been used...

if the ref tooka good look at manfredo he would have seen he could continue and he could have stopped it had calzaghe just come right back and pinned him again....

like merchant said though, it just takes from from calzaghe

i wanted to enjoy him taking manfredo apart slowly

its not like that perfromances is gonna make a believer out of anyone who wasnt already

Many of the shots were getting through though, you could tell because his head was snapping back. You people are all just haters.

Im a Calzaghe fan,how am i a hater?Calzaghe would have ended it soon but that was a TERRIBLE stoppage

**** the ref

Yes it was a pre-mature stoppage but calzaghe was just going to beat up on Manfredo anyway.

The difference in class was apparent after the first two rounds and then Joe started to turn it on in the 3rd.

If the fight went on then it would surely have finished in the 4th or 5th, imo.

Of course the UK boxing fans have no problem with the stoppage.

Well, since everyone thought Joke would win anyway, I guess they should have never fought to begin with...

Stop making threads about the same subject...

...can't everyone just post in the same ****ing thread? Yeah, yeah, it's ironic that I'm making a thread to stress this point, but it's like posters are boosting their self-esteem by getting as many people as possible to post in their threads. I count almost ten threads about Calzaghe's win over Manfredo, all with a slight variation on the same point.

i haven't seen anyone really criticize calzaghe yet. it's all about the ref. calzaghe should have been given the chance to take him out like a real fighter, so it's unfair to joe too.

what round?

**** the ref

Exactly! let's not turn this thread into a Calzaghe hate thread.

The ref was in the wrong.... not Calzaghe.

that was such a terrible call. there would be 1000x more stoppages in boxing if every ref was like this ****. there was hardly a mark on manfredo's face! granted he was losing, but a ****ing third round stoppage was a terrible call.

this fight gives phony calzone no credibility. this fight might as well have never happend with such a bull**** ending.

let me guess,,,you were a jeff lacey fan?
