Rodriguez said he fought the last 10 rounds with injured shoulder.

Manfredo looked good against a bigger stronger opponent.

Huh? Manfredo is the bigger man.

Anyhoo, the fight changed after that punch.

poor edouard wasnt the same after manfredo nonchalantly cold ****ed him on the break in the forth.

The k.o. in the Manfredo Jr vs Edouard fight is a nomination for k.o of the year. Edouard made a habit of putting his arms down leaving him open after that k.o. Aaron Pryor Jr needed to more fighting on the outside.

That was a KD, not a KO. And AFAIK there isn't an award for Knockdown of the Year.

I thought Manfredo looked decent, but I don't think Edouard was a real test at this stage of his career. I do root for Manfredo to get another real payday fight though. I disagreed with Teddy's scorecard- I thought Manfredo won 2 of the first 3 rounds that Teddy had as a sweep for Edouard.

I'm not going to say that Pryor got robbed because there were enough close rounds to help justify a Rodriguez win, but I think at least 1 or 2 of the judges' scorecards were completely out of line, and I thought Pryor definitely deserved to win. I had it 96-93 for him. Burgos should be suspended for that awful point deduction, too. I don't know if it was an ethnic thing or a house fighter thing or what, but that was a complete joke.
