He didn't get knocked out. His corner pulled him between rounds as he was gassed.

I guess Calzaghe knocked Manfredo unconscious in devastating fashion.

Mismtach from the get go.

I think the kid Blackwell deserves a bit of credit. He took on a powerful experienced champion with eight fights of experience, at short notice and giving away anywhere up to (and possibly beyond) 14lbs! He was busted up pretty bad in the last round and yet he carried on swinging.

He'll learn from this and may go on to be a pretty decent fighter.

Yeah, pretty bad match-up for the kid.

Hope he got paid well.
