MANFREDO JR. CLOCKS PEMBERTON
I was very impressed with Peter Manfredo Jr.'s third round stoppage of
the formidable Scott Pemberton. Now that Peter is with Freddie Roach, he
looks terrific. There is talk of a third match with " Contender " champion
Sergio Mora in Peter's back yard of Providence, Rhode Island. I hope it
comes off. I feel that Sergio won their first fight but Peter was robbed in
the rematch. These two need to settle their differences. I believe this bout
will draw well. Roach has really done wonders with Manfredo Jr. Freddie is
really one of the top five trainers around today. If Manfredo Jr.- Mora III
is made, my pick is Peter.
With all that said. I hope that the Manfredo Jr. camp has no intention
on taking on Jeff Lacy after he defeats Joe Calzaghe. It would be a big
money fight and a real fan attraction but there is no way Peter hangs with
Lacy. Jeff would be way too strong for Peter and he hits like a ton of
bricks.
Manfredo Jr. would be better off going after one of the other 168
pound titleholders and steering very clear of Lacy.

.. Calzaghe is not staying in smw anyway, and Lacy could do better, even for a comeback.. Last champ might be the strongest of them all: Kessler, now that would be murder.
