What a joke...and unfortunately Manfredo will probably need a KO to get a win...because I doubt he will get a decision no matter what.

I don't know why JCC Jr. elicits so much hate on these boards. Sure he's frowned away from any real challenges so far in his career, but the kid did not have an amateur career and had to 'learn on the job.'

I do have some criticism of him: he's inconsistent from one fight to next i.e. he'll look good in one fight and then he'll bluff his way through the next fight; his conditioning has been suspect at times and he's been known to blow up between fights....

However, I do like watching his fights and for a high profile fighter, he fights relatively frequently. I thought he looked decent against Zbik and proved that he can go 12 hard rounds without withering....

Also I think Manfredo is a definite live underdog here. Manfredo is a seasoned veteran and has a lot of experience against some good fighters and has been fighting his way back into contention for awhile now. You tell that Manfredo is hungry and knows it's 'do or die' time for him at this point in his career. Having said that, I think we'll see an entertaining and competitive fight...
