Chavez Jr.-Manfredo Jr. card

HBO will show Pac-JMM III first, apparently

 

Clottey with the big 2nd round KO victory

 

kellerman simply does not blink

 

I'm going with an upset. Mafredo on points.

 

It's a cruiserweight fight

 

lmao at that qwerty quote. We need to start an official qwerty thread.

 

Im taking Manfredo..Chavez is THAT BAD!!

 

I should clarify my stance. I think Manfredo will deserve the decision. Obviosuly he won't get it in Texas.

 

Joppy lost because of the ring!

 

That's the best one, but there are so many.

I have a soft spot for the totally unintelligible, illegible, nonsensical ones like the one in DJ's sig.

 

I might eat my words.Chavez looks better

 

manfredo looks soft, and is getting beat up

 

Manfred slow and short...just the way Chavez likes em

 

Manfredo trying to come forward and apply pressure, but he's eating most of the clean shots. Surprisingly, Lederman does not have him ahead.

 

The big goofy mong really does look a lot bigger. Looks like a super middle vs a junior middle.

 

Manfredo won that one...4th

 

Horrible stoppage

 

manfredy should have ripped that rug off coles head

 

Nice right hand by chavez

 

Pity, Manfredo was getting into the fight too

 

He didn't hold because he was moving his head wtf!

 

No it wasnt

 

It was a pretty bad stoppage actually, Manfredo wasn't punching back, but he was avoiding almost every punch.

 

Thing to remember - question isn't if manfredo was hurt obviously he was. Question is did the fight need to be stopped. It didn't. It was a bad stoppage. 5 seconds later maybe its not a bad stoppage. At that moment though it was.

 

Yeah that was a quick stoppage in my mind.

Also the fact that Manfredo worked his way into the fight and was competitive makes it even more so.

Chavez Jr was gonna win it anyway I think. But the fight was unfolding.

 

Didn't Manfredo get stopped in a similar fashion before? His Sakio Bika fight? (I didn't see tonight's fight, but the way it's being described - that he was getting hit with a barrage and didn't do anything to fight back even though he didn't look like he was on his way out - sounds familiar.)

 

He lost to calzaghe in stoppage on the ropes.

 

Yeah you're right it was Calzaghe...just rewatched that on youtube.

 

Calzaghe AND Bika (& now Chavez).
All unanswered punches stopages.

 

I honestly don't know one person at ringside who thought it was a bad stoppage. The worst anyone in the media (excluding HBO, didn't hear them although Max admitted he jumped the gun) said was that it looked a bit premature, but Manfredo was on his way out.

Manfredo got nailed by a right hand and made a facial expression like "Oh shit, there goes my focus". Chavez Jr knew he was hurt and wisely jumped on him. Sequence went on for a while and Peter was too hurt to even thinking about clinching or taking a knee until it was too late.

Personally, I thought Chavez looked great (relatively speaking).

Oh and Karl was at ringside! Actually a nice fella, cracking jokes throughout.
