TALK OF MORA-MANFREDO III FOR PROVIDENCE BEGINS
By Rob Soucy
Old rivals Sergio Mora and Peter Manfredo Jr. are interested in a third fight against each other. Mora confirmed having discussions with Manfredo about making their two prior battles into a trilogy. Considering the controversial result of their second fight, the two former "Contender" reality show contestants have good reason. Mora won both of their 2005 battles, but many felt Manfredo deserved the verdict in the second fight. "I haven't talked to Peter in about six years and then got a text out of nowhere from him a couple of weeks ago," said Mora. "Peter asked me if I am ready for Mora-Manfredo III and I responded that we can do it in Providence [Manfredo's home town]." A third Mora-Manfredo fight would certainly draw up some interest in New England where Mora is less than loved by fight fans. Mora says he is a promotional free agent will be in Las Vegas for the Mayweather-Cotto clash hoping to meet with promoters. "I'm hungry and I want to fight the best," added Mora. "Martinez, Sturm, Golovkin, Chavez, Canelo [Alvarez], or K-9 [Bundrage]. I'll fight any of them, but I think Peter Manfredo and I need to fight once more. I's a fight I want Providence to see before he retires." Manfredo in fact announced his retirement after a knockout loss to Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in November. However, Manfredo could hardly be blamed for wanting one more fight in his hometown.
