USA is the Mecca of Boxing

Manfredo was just doing the Rope-A-Dope and was biding his time, looking for the perfect shot.

We all know of his monstrous power and Calzaghe's glass chin.

Because in America not many people are nationalistic compared to other countries so you will be less likely to get nepotism...the fighter wont win just cause they are american. Like in Britain that ref stopped the manfredo calzaghe fight for no real reason his only reason was he was scared joe c would gas out and then manfredo would spark a comeback and pull the upset so he stopped it.

to save the welshman.

I felt sorry for when peeps taking the piss out of you but i've finally seen the light, you're a certified idiot.

Just stick to making threads about how Marquez and Pac wont sell more than 250,000k or some bull**** like that.

He had him where he wanted him.

He was letting Joe punch himself out.

He waited.

The Manfredo decision wasn't great, but it's not like he was going to last 12 rounds anyway. Calzaghe was hitting him at will. When it's that easy to hit an opponent a referee has a duty of protection. Consider Lacy's face at the end of his bout. If Manfredo had taken 12 rounds of similar (probably greater) punishment they'd have taken him out of the ring in a box.

I didn't like the Manfredo stoppage, either. Hey, I was the first one to jump up and yell BS! when Mitchell was stopped (watching it on a delay), but that's what happens.

Then you sit and watch the replay, think like a ref, and you see a fighter taking dozens of unanswered punches, not fighting back, and yeah, you still would like to see the fight go on, but you realize that you have to blame the fighter, not the ref. Many stoppages that everyone hates, if you're being honest, it's the fighter's own fault more often than not.

In Lee's case, he WAS fighting back and CONNECTING. That's why I mentioned that one.... I really disliked that stoppage.

with the Andy Lee stoppage I think it was more so maybe they didnt like Manny steward, it had nothing to do with him being Irish....
