Peter Manfredo Talks Recent Win, Run at Middleweight

[BG_Knocc_Out]

I don't expect anything much from Manfredo, he is pretty average really.

Agree'd. He could barely compete with "Limited Lacy" who had lost his left hook before that fight.

I disagree with this. I think Manfredo was competitive but wasn't 'on' that night. And even though Lacy was limited, in order for Manfredo to win he has to be 'on'. He wasn't feeling well, I believe. He was worn out by the sixth round, looking up at the clock to see how much tie was left in the round.

My thing with Peter is and has always been: He is to good to fight prospects. He is too good to fight has-beens and journeymen. In the gym he looks sharp and solid. When he is in the ring with opposition that he is supposed to put away, he looks solid. But his only true tests came again Calzaghe, Lacy, and Bika. No one at 68 wants to fight Bika. And Calzaghe was in a class by himself. There really has been that inbetween opponent.

Against Sergio Mora, he was game and battling in the first fight. The second fight was also a war and he got robbed of a decision.

Let me put it this way: People are very high, or at least high on Allan Green's ability. To me, Manfredo wins that fight. I know Allan is at 68 and Manfredo is making is way down to 60, but to me, Manfredo wins. Although, I think it would be a very good fight to watch.
