I Can't believe you guys.....

[Dorian]

some of you guys thought Manfredo was gonna win and were hyping him up

lmao the guy didn't even deserve a shot at Joe C. He's not even in the same league as him...

but I do agree with you guys that the stoppage was abit too early but he would've finished him anyways

You're an idiot, why did my favorite boxer Joe Calzaghe even ****ing fight this ****er in the first place? To add another bum on his record and brag about his lacy performance.... ya know

[AKATheMack]

Hes not in the same league as Joe everyone knew that which is why nothing was proved. If you're gonna sign a contract tho at least let them finish the fight, the ref only hurt Joes chances of someone going across seas to fight him. If he wants a big fight he definitely has to come to America now.

I know i agreed that the stoppage was too early Calzaghe's shots at the end wern't all on target but Manfredo didnt fight back i guess so he just stepped in

he beat an espn fighter!!! Thats so amaaaaaazing! Joe your my hero!
Joe better fight someone with a name next whos good, not a tv-show boxer. Or my respect will sour.

No one on here thought Manfredo would win but..COLD!!!
Well maybe a few others. I guess since he is 35, maybe he wants to make a few bucks(quid), and then fight Mikkel. I can't blame him as the Brits get taxed more(I think). If he is serious and comes to the U.S. and fights Taylor/Hopkins/Winky, then we should welcome that.
And we can't say he wanted to stay in europe like that ****stain Sven Ottke, who has an assload of defenses that mean as much as Joes. At least joe wants to fight here

wwasnt given a chance..

HBO has been showing too much of these kind of fights(Wlad/Austin). I like HBO and grew up watching many of fights on the network. I heard somewhere that the new owner or CEO isn't a huge boxing fan so not as much money goes into HBO boxing like in the past. Also certain marketing plans are not the same.
