Interesting matchup.Strange that Manfredo would fight a puncher right after his first tko loss.I don't know who to pick in this one.Manfredo has had more fights and has more experience while Codrington is really still a prospect.I was high on the Chin Checker coming into his fight Allan Green.I had only seen him once but had heard a lot about him and when I watched him he impressed me knocking his opponet out in the first round.I was picking him to beat Green but instead he was exposed.Coming into that fight he had ko'd every opponet he faced since the Green fight he has went the distance in most of his fights.I think I'll go with Manfredo to win a decision.

Codrington has fought alot of guys that normally fight much lighter and are not exactly that good. It's easy to look good when you fight naturally smaller guys that have less talent than you.

Manfredo is looking to make a statement with this fight, he's still mad at that ref for ****ing him over. Wouldn't you be? Anyways he would have lost in my opinion, but who am I? I'm just the guy watching the fight, and saw one of the worst stoppages in boxing's history. I'm not taking anything away from calzaghe. It's just what the **** is he even doing in the same ring as calzaghe. Kessler is next hopefully, and if he fights froch instead... I'm going to be really upset. **** froch, froch doesn't deserve **** he only has like 20 fights he has fought. He doesn't deserve a shot before other opponents like Kessler.

I agree with you, though the whole coming off a TKO thing is a misnomer, since it was a lousy stoppage. It would have been a bad beating for sure, but its not like Manfredo was horizontal or anything. Manfredo just has more big fight experience, and against non-world class opponents knows how to land that fight turning punch. I think Manfredo by close decision.
Coddrignton winning wouldnt surprise me in that natural ability-wise he has more than Manfredo, he might just be one of those guys who never learns to utilize it effectively.
