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

Over on Peter Manfredo's website, they were promoting a party where the fight was going to be broadcast on close circuit television. Admission was 50 dollars. Everytime I think of all those people sitting in their chairs at the monet lounge, I can't stop laughing. :D

I bet they were really pissed. :D :D :D :D

That wor a complete farce. But that's what generally happens when you put in a tv personality in the ring with a world champion boxer. Stoppage was a farce but i honestly couldn't see Manfredo getting off the ropes.

It's not Calzaghes fault that Manfredo is hyped up. It's Calzaghes fault he took the fight when there is Kessler, Taylor and Wright there to fight but i guess this fight made good business sense.

I understand that this was a frustrating night and a huge anti climax but it borders on stupidty for Manfredo, HBO commentators and pissed off americans to say Kessler will kill Calzaghe simply because they are pissed off for wasting their time watching this farce!!

I honestly think Kessler will get exposed by Calzaghe and when he does Calzaghe will be back to where he is now.......'supposedly over rated'

SPOILRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1




























THIS IS A SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

In the US people are just learning who Calzaghe and Kessler are so it makes sence Calzaghe wanted a showcase, I think he is gonna wait for Kessler to fight a popular US fighter before he takes him on so that when they fight each other the hype will be there. Good business move, bad move for a champion

This fight looked to be a huge mismatch from the beginning. Peter Manfredo has done absolutely nothing that qualifies him to step into the ring with Joe Calzaghe. But I don't blame Joe, it makes sense to step into the ring to fight people you know you can beat, and as long as people are willing to pay huge bucks to see you regardless of your opponent than why not take these types of fights. He added a "w" to his record, notched another title defense, and put a lot of money into his pocket and barely had to break a sweat to do it. All in all, a good night for Joe Calzaghe.

People have to realize if you don't want to continue seeing match-ups like this, than don't buy them or talk about them, otherwise they are going to keep happening. If people are willing to spend 50 bucks to watch the pay per view and spends hundreds of dollars to watch it live, than they're isn't any reason for boxers to step into the ring with true challengers. Why take the risk of fighting a guy who could possibly put you on your back, when you can make the same money fighting a glorified powerpuff girl?

LOL I bet more than one folding chair sailed through the air

:D :D :D :D People have to see the comedy in it all. When you really think about Manfredo and his in ring accomplishments or should I say lack there of for him to be in the ring with Calzaghe is just hilarious. They might as well gave me a pair of gloves and let me get in the ring, we had about the same chance. This just gets funnier and funnier by the minute. :D

That's why it would be nice to have one belt and mandatory top ten ranked boxers that fight the one champion.

Hokie cokie pig and a pokie...I'm as druink as a Welshman hould be.....Joe C says::

Totally agree. I`m going to stick my head on the block here and say JC should get it on with Carl Froch. Froch is up for it, there`d be little problem getting it sorted. It would be a fight that if JC won (I don`t think he would) he`d gain more respect and creditability than tonight ie slapping a total underdog round the head a few times earning a premature stoppage (he wouldn`t have that LUXURY with Froch). However, my suspicion is that JC is fully aware of the threat Froch poses and this may stop the fight ever happening.

Can I take my head of the block now? !!!!!!!!

I don't give two shits what Joe or the promoters want...if they don't make the Kessler fight happen...anything else would be pointless.

The look on Frank Warrens face was priceless.....That should be a new credit card commercial

so they are looking for July and maybe Jermain Taylor ;)

Manfredo said it was my first time in the ring ??? ??? ??? and didnt rate Joes power.

---

he told HBO that calzaghe isnt powerfull and he said that taylor, kessler, wright would all dominate him

---

Manfredo is also a clown who will never amount to anything in boxing. His opinion has little bearing on my way of thinking! ;)

July is short notice for a super fight to betaken on. If the Kessler camp honestly cannot make a fight for July then Warren should consider August or even September. Just get the fecking fight made anyway possible!! For christs sakes!! :-\

ha ha ha

What a crap stoppage, shame Manfredo will have to look back and think what if....

Cause you never know in boxing, you really never know, and i do think caslzaghe would have TKOed him 999 times out of 1000 but still, you gotta give the challenger a chance.

just saw the fight on youtube. pathetic stoppage. now let's hope for a real fight with Joe C before too long.

Joe Calzaghe is very good. Though he barely ever had to fight Peter Manfredo Jr. he did defeat him. Fair and square? Aaah, who cares. He made history in Wales. For a fight to be stopped in such a manner disgraces the sport but, aah who cares Joe defended his Title successfully for the twentieth time. Did Peter Manfredo Jr. ever have a chance maybe not but we'll never know. Joe Calzaghe will move on to bigger and better competition. We should've been watching Calzaghe vs. Kessler and everyone knows it. Including Calzaghe, but he would rather talk about Manfredo being a legitimate opponent and how he thought that he was really hurt than address the prospect of a truly deserving opponent. Meaning us as fans deserve to see a real fight. Peter Manfredo Jr. was not hurt. He was definately out gunned but the fight far from being over. I believe boxers should always strive to fight the stiffest competition and the promoters, referees, and everyone else involved that doesnt actually fight should strive to facilitate such. So we can demand better and more entertaining fights as fans. Joe Calzaghe is a great champion and no one has been able to take that away from him. But let the best fight the best. And let the fight be fought fully

Poor stoppage BUT if the opponent is not fighting back,and JC is throwing punch after punch,the ref has no choice does he? I mean he looked confused!!! Wasn't a great fight but everyone knew that,it got JC's name out to the Amreican audience,thus achieveing it's purpose. What did everyone think of Khan?

hello

I was going to go on some long rant about how Joe is the shiz & everyone should just STFU & deal because the man has proven himself no matter what...but you just summed it all up.

Congrats. Also...welcome to the forum. Have the Obligatory Wacko Welcome Wagon :coolclick:

Agreed. Joe fought his ass off for the small amount of time that he had to throw. He did his job...the ref half assed his job...not Joe's fault.

Painters were in my business today talking about how many times Calzaghe landed & how fast & smooth he was...so America in general got the point...which is what was supposed to be the what.

Calzaghe has & is the goods...anyone that is a boxing fan & refuses to admit it...well...then somethings wrong.

Thought Khan did well.

Khan fought a fucking pedistrian.

well I'd add that those punches have to hit the target and the not back and shoulders of a guy who is ducking those punches.

while we're about it I'm glad I didn't pay to go see this 'event'. Someone making a killing of the backs of these shows.

of the top contenders we had an out of shape barenuckle boxer
1 guy (24 wins? how! 5 ko's- so he's a real threat then) who threw 1 punch per round, ran like a rabbit and crumbled at the first meaningful attack. Fighting people you walk through won't help Khan in the long run.
and Manfredo, yes he wouldn't have won but the fight should not have been stopped at that point.

Why does it seem that in the UK there is a trend starting where they build a up career to one big fight then look to retire when I see world class fighters looking to fight the best and stay at the top. $£

So what? He still hammered him out & the guy had some skills.

I'm curious as to why everyone wants to rush a prospect before he's ironed out all of his kinks.

Speakin of pedestrians...how bout that cat Joe fought? ::**

Frank Warren everyone...let's give the man a hand! :-X

Anywho...it's time to wash the sticky offa this thread & let the Oscar Mayweather DRBR rule the roost...seeing as how the mega-match is just around the corner & Wacko's gonna be sky high all the way to Vegas...let's hug it out.
