Chavez Jr. vs. Manfredo Jr chat/fight thread + the Pac-JMM III replay tonight on HBO

[Mars_ax]

Chavez Jr. vs. Manfredo Jr. figures to suck, but up first, the Pac - JMM III replay will be worth a 2nd look, i'd like to score it on my big screen in HD.

November 19
At Houston (HBO): Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs. Peter Manfredo Jr., 12 rounds, for Chavez's WBC middleweight title.

As for the main event, Julio Jr. should prevail, that's the reason they chose Manfredo, but who knows, stranger thing have happened.

Battle of the inferior Jnr types? I think I am going to give boxing a miss this weekend. A crappy result followed by a crappy matchup. How they are spoiling the boxing public with their generosity. I can't be arsed with it.

Fuck you, Bob Arum!

I can't blame you there miles, but you might want to check out the forum's comments after the Pac-JMM III replay, it'll probably be more of the same shit, but WTF..

I wouldn't mind seeing Peter Jr. light up Julio Jr, but unfortunately Peter Jr. can't crack an egg.

Keep in mind miles, you need to watch all "big" fights, however boring they might be, or you'll lose your status as a "purist", true fan of boxing or a heavyweight armchair expert on this forum.

I've seen Manfredo KO people before, he had a sensational stoppage of Joey Spina a few years back.

Well hopefully Peter Jr. will fight like he's got a pair Saturday night, i'd love to see anybody light up that pampered asswipe Julio Jr..

That makes two of us !

Lets just hope that its not a repeat of Manfredo vs. Bika.

Though I don't see how it could be as Chavez Jr. is nowhere near the puncher or animal that Bika is.

I don't see how Arum is at fault here? He matched Pacquiao TOUGH against Marquez. He is willing to match him up TOUGH against Marquez again. What is wrong with that?

Chavez Jr. doesn't really deserve to be on TV, but the problem is he sells...A LOT.
Do you know how many tickets and the viewship numbers are for Chavez Jr.? They're above most other boxers.

Yep, Julio Jr has a huge Latino fan-base, and Arum has had him headlining PPV's starting 3 or 4 years ago, way before he was even a trinket holder.

I don't really dislike Julio Jr, but i'm gonna love it when he finally steps up and fights a pug with a pair, like Sergio Martinez, and gets exposed and annihilated.

[Rantcatrat]

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.

24/7 Cotto/Margarito comes on HBO @ 10:00 PM EST tonight, followed by the Chavez Jr. vs. Manfredo Jr card on HBO @ 10:30 PM EST. The Pac - JMM III replay should be shown first.

November 19
Pac - JMM III replay
At Houston (HBO): Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs. Peter Manfredo Jr., 12 rounds, for Chavez's WBC middleweight title.

The entire telecast should be worth watching, so ice up some Cerveza and lets check it out.

[Mars_ax]

Alrighty, HBO is going to show the the Pac-JMM III replay, coming up right now.

[Ant Live]

I hope Jr lose!!!

[Hulk]

Manfredo is the bigger man and far more experienced.

For fucks sake he got a draw with Jeff Lacy a few years back !

But, like I said that was a few years ago, and I fear Manfredo may be a bit past it now.

I'm picking him to pull the upset though and expose Chavez, who is all heart, but very short on skill.

At least Jr vs. Jr isn't a PPV, the highlight is going to be the Pac-JJM III replay, I believe we need to have a replay. "scoring thread" saturday night, and see how everyone scores it this time.

As for Chavez Jr. vs. Manfredo Jr, Julio should take care of business.
