Re: Chavez Jr. vs. Manfredo Jr + the Pac - JMM III replay Saturday on HBO
More and more I think about this, the more I think Chavez Jr. will beat the Pride of Providence and maybe even stop him. In recent memory, I've seen Manfredo lose to Bika and Calzaghe. They had in common that they were bigger than him and they won by swarming him. Well, isn't that exactly Chavez Jr. just less skilled than either? Chavez Jr. is a huge middleweight. He weighs in at like 180 pounds for fights and he is a come-forward stalker with a decent inside game. I respect Manfredo but style-wise this could be all wrong for him.

Julio Jr. is a growing boy, and he figures to take care of business against Manfredo, in my neck of the woods, in Houston, Texas, I live about 150 miles north of Houston in East Texas. They might as well have held the fight in Mexico, because half of Mexico will show up in Houston tomorrow night. ;)

I think more people care about the replay than they do the live fight. Props to both for doing what they do but is there anyone that really cares if chavez can beat manfredo or the other way around . Chavez will probably be huge fast and beat the crap out of peter and by tuesday i probably won't even remember

Pac-JMM III has already been discussed/debated enough, I just want to see the replay mainly for my own benefit, and maybe add a brief comment or two on this thread. Aside from all the controversy, the fight seemed rather boring, neither pug was hurt or knocked down, and as near as I can tell, neither guy dominated the other. I imagine the replay will spawn another round of whining and bitching which I want no part of.
As for Julio Jr. vs Manfredo, it might be somewhat entertaining, at least it's not another lame ass PPV.
I'll probably see some people on HBO down in Houston tomorrow night that I recognize, so it'll be fun for me.
Re: Chavez Jr. vs. Manfredo Jr + the Pac - JMM III replay Saturday on HBO
I see Manfredo pulling the upset. Chavez Jr. can't box.
Re: Chavez Jr. vs. Manfredo Jr + the Pac - JMM III replay Saturday on HBO
I can't believe this day has come.......... I'm actually rooting for Manfredo. :o
Where is P.O.B.? He would have a heart attack if he seen this coming out of me. ;D
Manfredo needs a knock out to get the win, because no way will he get a decision in Chavez territory. The one good thing I will say about Manfredo, he won't chicken out of the mandatory fight with Martinez like Chavez will. Chavez will give up the belt before getting in the ring with Martinez to get his ass kicked.

Ain't that the truth, I do believe however that if Julio Jr. keeps ducking Martinez boxing fans are gonna get pissed. Team Chavez' strategy right now seems to be waiting until Sergio loses to someone else, or turns 40.
I think the chances of Manfredo winning in Houston tomorrow night are pretty slim, but i'll be pulling for him.

but seeing how he "has" the WBC Strap he'll never really be obligated to fight anyone who's a real threat, Sulaiman is pretty much his Godfather, and he'll treat JCC Jr as such by allowing him to hold his little trinket and fight bums, don't be shocked if Chavez takes on Alfonso Gomez at 160 some point next yr
Re: Chavez Jr. vs. Manfredo Jr chat/fight thread + the Pac-JMM III replay tonight on

Re: Chavez Jr. vs. Manfredo Jr chat/fight thread + the Pac-JMM III replay tonight on
I'm coming over all negative nancy, but who could really care less about this. It's a crap HBO fight. Chavez Jr is awful and is now on TV fight 5 year Calzaghe leftovers.....at lower weights.
I'm not watching, as I can't be arsed. But it is crap and I should always comment on what I believe.

True, Julio Jr. can't do much of anything right, but I fear Manfredo is even worse.
Re: Chavez Jr. vs. Manfredo Jr chat/fight thread + the Pac-JMM III replay tonight on
I dimly remember picking Manfredo to beat Bika :dunce: + :looroll: ....I'll go as far as hoping and wanting him to whip Chavez part deaux. I think Rubio beats Chavez right now.
Honestly suprised this steaming nugget is a HBO main event (?) Finally get to see JMM vs Pac!!!!

Spicoli, I'm pretty sure they're going to show the Pac-JMM III replay tonight first, a little bit after 10:30 PM EST or about 2 hours from now. If possible, HBO usually shows the replay of their PPV's the following week.
Re: Chavez Jr. vs. Manfredo Jr chat/fight thread + the Pac-JMM III replay tonight on
I actually quite like Manfredo. I became a fan after I watched that story on FNF about how he had to get a job working on the ground crew at an arena he used to sell out. He made a lot of money, invested it, and then lost everything when the economy went tits up. I can respect that. I hope he pulls off the upset tonight and lands one last big money fight.
