I feel sorry for Manfredo

[BennyST]

Man, Lacy, with what he has left, will still blow Freddo out.

Just on a side note...someone earlier in the thread said Lacy was real tough and took his beating like a man against Calz without quitting. What the hell was manly about that?! His corner should of stopped it WAY before the twelfth round. If they had he would not be in the **** mental state he is in. He took way too much punishment when he didn't need to. It was obvious he was not going to get the KO after seven or eight rounds and they should have stopped it so he could stay fit and healthy for future work. Instead they may have just ruined the future career of another great prospect.

I really hate this "Take your beating like a man" ****. Its so ****ed up. This ain't some Neanderthal fight game ****. These guys are serious athletes who need top mental and physical conditioning to compete. One or two beatdowns like he took take every ounce of that away. It's unhealthy.

I agree with this, I just think Lacy's corner was so shellshocked their brains fell out of their arses. No if's no buts the yliterally thought Calzaghe was not only **** but that he was also shot. The only guy who showed a semblance of wanting the fight to be stopped was Gary Shaw, even his gf was screaming at him like a ****** little *****.

Without a doubt. They were expecting Lacy to walk through the hype job European fighter with 20 title defenses like it was a Sunday stroll. Next thing they realise is he's getting the beating of his life. This is what I can't understand though...After six rounds I can certainly understand them thinking he might still get a KO from behind but after that Calz just got stronger and stronger while Lacy wilted and was hesitant in throwing punches and even when he did he was very timid with them expecting to be countered viciously. At this point someone, anyone, should have stepped in and stopped it.

Corners should be accountable to some kind of review board if they let a fighter take a serious beating after it's obvious he can't do anything and they let it go on too long. Obviously this would be a near impossible thing to put in place though. Much too subjective.

His girl was screaming at him? Haha what the hell was she saying? "Don't stop it you prick! I wanna see this guy get hammered!" or "Hurry up and stop it. I can't stand it anymore!"?

Nonetheless that fight was a pure masterpiece and should not become an underrated performance just because Lacy is broken now. That fight is the only reason he's broken. One of the best boxing clinics I've seen in many a year.

Put it this way.. if manfredo comes out like he did in his last 3 fights.. he dont have alot of hope.. But the 3 fights that he had roach training him and wokring his corner he was a whole different fighter.. He may not necasarily win, but I truly think this will be a better fight than yall think.. Still picking him to win.. but to get screwed on the cards..

I have no idea what she was saying, some kind of warped encouragement. To be fair if you were a boxer wouldn't you just want your girlfriend to just sit quietly by the side of the ring worrying about you,might be slightly sexist. Something disturbing about a girl like that.lol.

Mora is crap... but try to give Manfredo some credit.. Not at a world class level.. but still can contend..
