You guessed it...It's Just Another one of Wacko's DRBR's! Calzaghe vs Manfredo!

I don't think it has anything remotley to do with the fighters themselves.
Each mans promo team are far from stupid and will "hang this out" for as long as possible.
If i had a cow that produced good milk for me week in week out then i'd milk it for all it's worth rather than send it to the slaughter house before i'd milked it ;)

*the word best is solely used as the best at this time, by any means Am I using best as best of all time.

Yup too right....but if this fight gets made and one fighter is proved to be the quality operator...what are we going to debate? Once Calzaghe v Kessler is debated to the full after the result, I reckon the number of posts per month drops by 5% as there is no subject more contraversial. Or good to talk about. (Calzaghe UD is my pick on that fight, maybe by 6 or 7 rounds, depending on where it takes place.)

Speed will be the major factor on Saturday night,I mean in comparison to Joe,Manfredo is gonna be about as quick as a spastic trying to escape from a magnet factory ;D

I would dare to say Calzaghe on KO within the first 4 rounds O0

bye Manfredo A long way home without the belt.

I am looking forward to the next opponent for Calzaghe 8) ( go Kessler )

Thanks alot Memphis :(

oh by way have :sadclick:

j/k ;D

instead :coolclick: Mr Memphis since im in good mood today :)

I am still thinking it will go the distance with Joe getting a wide UD. If Joe does get a stoppage it will be late. I think Manfredo will make a good accounting for himself in the first half of the fight but then Joes volume of punches will turn the tide in the second half.

Its time for a comeback..........

The Miles kiss of death......

Calzaghe to stop Manfredo within 6 rounds :o :-\

Thanks, Wacks :coolclick: back

IceCold is right, Im on a bad run with my picks. I never realised I was at 13 in the posters list until Ice Cold pointed it out last week and it explains a lot. Northside must have been at 13 for an awfully long time!!!! :-\

Calzaghe, UD, 117-111. I'm the picks competition leader and declare this will happen.... ;D

oh, I'm also a Manfredo nut-hugger, so don't believe me. That might be too optimistic. OK, Calzaghe, 119-109. :-X

That's a ballsy pick Sean....I hope that you've put in the UD on the prediction comp....I got about 150 points to catch up with you on, so I need every point I can, and I got Calzaghe by a KO in 4 or 5 I think, can't remember off the top of my head.

LOL. I haven't put in my picks yet, but I'll be taking Calzaghe on UD. My only fear is that the Manfredo corner could stop the fight late. That's a realistic possibility. I can't see an early stoppage. Joe's too much of a "slappa."

cc wack i'll be watching this 1 and i know it will be an easy night for jc ;)

:coolclick: right back babe.

Here's the thing...I want Joe to win like a muthafwocka...but then again...I don't.

I'd love to see Kess beat Manfredo to pieces if Manfredo beat Calzaghe after hell froze over...mainly because Kess vs Joe might be a wash out in Joe's favor.

A motivated Calzaghe is a devastating Calzaghe.

No one ever listens to me on that note...but it is fact.

I like Manfredo and that is why I want him to lose this fight. I want to be able to keep liking him. However, if Manfredo beats Calzaghe I will drown inthe flood of praise he showers upon himself.

So, Calzaghe please do what is expected of you and whip my boys a** for him.

This fight is tricky for me. Joe Calzaghe has long been my favourite British fighter and Manfredo has started to annoy me in recent times, showing no respect to Sergio Mora and both Manfredo and his dead jumping into Joey Spina's face when he was knocked out, which to me was a pretty low act.

HOWEVER Manfredo is such a big underdodg for this fight, and Calzaghe's team have been SO manipulative in choosing a sacrifical lamb to be destroyed and offered up to the HBO viewing American masses that I still kind of want him to come unstuck.

To my mind it's an unsafe fight putting Peter Manfredo into the ring with one of the most dominant champions of the past decade, in a weight division in which at 5 ft 9 he doesn't really belong.

It's another potential Vic Darchinyan fight from last month where his completely overmatched opponent ended up in a coma after a savage 12 round beating.

I think that HBO, Team Calzaghe and even Manfredo's own people are guilty of putting easy bucks before fighter safety and for that reason I really hope Manfredo can stun the world and knock Joe Calzaghe out.

He's 35 and still hasn't fought anybody aside from Eubank 10 years ago and an overratted Jeff Lacy. He's avoided the obvious mega fight with Kessler to fight the boxing equivalent of Gareth Gates or Allister Griffin.


I'll be rooting for Manfredo......

Joe Calzaghe is wasting his time fighting Manfredo in Wales. It might be worth his time in the States, but a win over a reality tv star in Wales will mean nothing

Wow afters years reading i've finally signed up and can post.

Joe vs Peter is a waste of time just another of frank and joes travelling money making easy option carnival fights. Come on Joe leave Frank and take some proper fights your deffo good enough

Welcome on board mate, have a :coolclick: to start you off on your collection. As for leaving Frank, I'm not convinced that he really has anywhere to go, unless he does a ODLH and sets up Italian Dragon Promotions, or something along those lines.

In Britain at the moment FW is the dominant promoter, and despite it's good that Clinton Woods and David Haye are with another promoter, it is FW that makes the big bills in the UK. I don't think Calzaghe would go over to an American promoter, and that leaves him back at square one. It is an easy option fight....but FW promised the next one's going to be big....so it definitely will be.....right?

thanks for the click.

You are right of course frank is the only one that promote his fighters to fill large arenas nationwide and a move to another promotor in the UK would probably be a step backwards. But Frank must be smiling cause for some reason he has convinced both Joe and Enzo to go the Bowe way and take easy fights for money.

And as for a mega fight after Lacy he promised joe would have a mega fight within two fights, which one is mega bika or manfredo. You only have to look at the british heaveywieght scene and how he has jerked that around for 2 years to see how very little sway he hs in the states.

:coolclick: mate welcome aboard

hey Wakco,

are you doing the rbr on the tape-delay (the tape-delay starts at 10 pm ET the same day of the fight) or on the actual fight (show starting at 5:00 pm ET). Sorry if you've already discussed this.

Also, I wouldn't mind getting some british radio coverage of the fight. Is there any such thing on-line that any of you know about that is free.

Thanks.

for radio coverage you probably wanna try www.bbc.co.uk, as i think this fight will be covered on five live. (Its availble from the radio tab at the top)

However, even if that should happen, I still think Joe Calzaghe's worst will be enough to get the "W" against Manfredo's best. From what I have seen, Calzaghe is a completely different level of fighter and Manfredo is simply out of his league in this one. Joe really is getting a lot of S*** for taking this fight and it is well-deserved. He should be taking on top level competitors and other world champions of boxing, not rookies like Peter Manfredo, who in all likelihood, is headed for a good old fashioned a** whuppin. Still, I give the guy props for having the guts to go to Wales and take on an undefeated world champion like Joe, who, from what I understand, handpicked (meaning he already smells blood and sees some kind of weakness in The Pride of Providence that he can take advantage of...whatever it was, there was something that made Joe think this would be an easy fight...oh what am I talking about...it probably WILL be an easy fight for him) Manfredo from a list of potential contenders. Knowing that, it takes balls to go over there and get in the ring with the dude. Prior to this fight, I really didn't think too much of Peter Manfredo. I have a lot more respect for him, and since he's American plus a huge underdog, I'm gonna be rootin for him.

---

To be honest with you, after I saw the way he was after beating Joe Spina, I have no respect for this guy whatsoever, and I really think this is going to be a case of teacher coming in to give the naughty boy a hard caning for his previous indiscretions.

---

what was he like after beating Spina?didnt see it myself

---

Manfredo looked decent finishing Spina off with some big shots, but as the ref waved it off, Manfredo practically leaps over the ref to try and have a go at Spina, and he's yelling at him as Spina's team try to get to their man to check that he's okay. The ref was having to push him back, as Spina was leaning against the corner trying to regain his senses, it looked nasty to me, and not what you want to see after a fight, even if there is bad blood.

spina is a bitch and i support these actions

---

...says the MMA fan. :-*

---

i have liked boxing longer then MMA, and i am more of a fan of certain MMA guys then the sport itself, but i support the actions cuz spina deserves to get sonned up


...

honest question...

if it was announced that ODH was gonna fight B-HOP in MMA would you watch it? ??? ??? ;) :D :D

I'm covering this match the only way that I can & that's via HBO's tape delay...

Remember everyone...NO SPOILERS!!!

That happened on the Kessler fight just last weekend.

Some of us are down with the element of surprise.

:coolclick: s are being dished out right now...so thanks for riding the Wackoland express once again bwoy's & girls.

Cheers & koneecheewah bitches.

Hey Wack.....good luck feller, I'll probably be returning to my house about the time that you'll be doing your delayed RBR, so hopefully I can equally delight and horrify with my posts as I throw my opinions into the ring about the fight....I'm heading off to the Stadium now, to get liquored up and yell at the fighters....so lets hope it's reasonably entertaining at least.

wow, thats bullshit, i didnt know there was a tape delay >:mad >:mad >:mad


if calzage wants to be a star he needs to fight at 2AM >:mad
