SPRINGFIELD, MO - From ringside at The Shrine Mosque in Springfield, MO, where he was promoting Diego Corrales' super welterweight debut, against Joshua Clottey, Gary Shaw commented on super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe's third-round TKO victory over Peter Manfredo, Jr., the first alumnus from "The Contender" to challenge for a world title.

What do you think about calzaghe? It's weird in my opinion, it's hard to get what you want from calzaghe... He comes in some fights like he is a god at war, but other fights like this manfredo fight. I didn't see the same calzaghe who fought eubank, lacy, mitchell(*in my opinion he earned this stoppage some disagree talking about the mitchell fight not manfredo) but thats the sport*... It just seems weird how calzaghe can perform on some nights, but something didn't click with me last night. He didn't seem to land nearly as much as compbox wanted you to think. And for as big as a bum manfredo supposenly was, he blocked and weave pretty well. Just wasn't able to throw back... This fight is the worst fight I've ever seen of calzaghes career... As in the stoppage was ridiculous, I was surprised calzaghe grinned at the stoppage. I was expecting him to be angry because this is his 20th defense and it feels like the ref ripped his performance off.Last edited by EliteSoldier; 04-08-2007, 01:26 AM. -
Calzaghe was putting his punches together good and didnt have enough time to show what he was really capable of, but we all seen that in the lacy fight right?What do you think about calzaghe?

I can't believe Gary Shaw said this;
Lacy went the distance against Calzaghe when they fought last year, which is nine rounds more than Manfredo went tonight!
WTF? Because Lacy getting pummelled for 12 rounds, not winning one is better than the early stoppage Manfredo got? Not much.
To think he was saying Lacy is the SMW Tyson whom will definitely beat Joe, then say of Joe we underrated him, it was the best performance he'd seen, back to this on Hanshaw again!? What a tool.Comment
