Whats your opinions on todays other fights

Abraham beat El**** in the fifth
Khan took out Earl in the first
Duddy on points vs Eastman
Lacy on points vs Manfredo

All the favorites won I guess.

True, Khans first round knock out was definately a shocker.

Was really annoyed with Earl afterwards, said it shouldn't have been stopped, he wasn't replying with anything, it's going to get stopped.

****, like Mayweather, I was "Born in the USA", so I didn't see any of the fights you listed except for Jeff Lacy's win over Peter Manfredo Jr.

They had a pretty good night of boxing here, from 7pm through til 6am covering fights from 4 cards.

Duddy / Eastman was a bit like Lacy / Manfredo, terrible to watch when you know they should be doing a lot lot better

I was impressed with Khan, I must admit that shocked me !
And about the Lacy vs. Manfredo fight, I seriously feel Manfredo was robbed! Some might be like "What the **** is this dude smoking!" but Lacy looked weak and rusty, and I know about the shoulder injury but still. Also, Manfredo and Lacy are both done, Calzaghe ended their careers.

I fell asleep for a few of the rounds, 2-4 i think but from what i saw, neither of them deserved a thing. I just don't see what Manfredo has to offer

That's because he has absolutely nothing to offer. When people mention Manfredo they go "Oh, he's that Contender kid?" What if he never starred in the Contender? You'd be like "Manfredo who?" Manfredo is a bum! Only thing I respect him for is at least he took advantage of his stardom and fought a few big names.

Comepletely agree and he didn't even win the contender, didn't he lose twice to the winner?

I though Ponce De Leon looked like he has damn good power for a 122 pounder, and good determination and work rate. But not much boxing skill. I don't think he has much chance against Marquez or Vasquez.

Lacy and Manfredo looked pretty bad. Looked like a sparring match most of the fight. Towards the end, Manfredo didn't look like he really cared if he won or not. I think Lacy won, but pretty much only because of the knockdown. The judges scores were way to lopsided.

The first fight with Cherry and that dude that Roger was training, I quit watching after 4 rounds and missed the knockout. Looks like Cherry ended that dudes hopes.
