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

[CFH]

I stand by what I said, that was a bad stoppage.

[Spicoli]

Heres an idea...how about facing your mandatory

Didn't notice at first how much Manfredo was actually hugging Cole back

[Hulk]

That stoppage was as bad as the Calzaghe one. Lawrence Cole is a fucking joke.

Yes, it was a quick stoppage no doubt.

I gotta hand it to Chavez Jr. for outboxing Manfredo. I didn't think he could box like that.

That said I still don't like Chavez Jr., maybe a lil more than red headed fuck Alvarez tho.

He is improving.

He was boxing well, but as soon as he got hit to the body he slowed down in a hurry. I don't know if he could have kept it up all night. Manfredo had won the last round (IMO) and was looking pretty good in round 5 until he got caught.

Julio Jr, looked good finishing off Manfredo, which was probably a good thing since Manfredo wasn't going to win a decision.

I'm glad I got a chance to see Pac-JMM III, all i've got to say is: I totally disagree that Marquez either dominated, was robbed, or even won the fight, but that's just me, everyone has a right to their own opinion.

G-night folks

Chavez Jr. is a huge middleweight. Honestly, he would be a good size super middleweight. They said he weighed close to 185 for fight night. That's wild.

Chavez Jr. and Andy Lee might be a scrap?

I think Jr. would hammer Lee.

I say if that was Sakio Bika in there last night instead of Manfredo then Chavez wouldn't have made it past the 4th round.

Anyone agree ?

I don't understand how it was a bad stoppage?? He was stunned, legs all over the place and was hit about 30-40 times against the roaps without answer!!

He wasn't badly hurt and Chavez missed all but a couple of punches. Manfredo was in the process of clinching when Cole waived it off. He might have gotten stopped, but he deserved the chance to continue.

It looked to me as though he clinched after the ref got in between?? Towards the end of the barrage he almost sunk through the ropes he looked done to me. He should have thrown one or two back if he wanted to to avoid being stopped.

Yeah, maybe I'm just being sentimental because I feel bad for the guy, but I thought it could have been let go for a bit longer. He likely would've been stopped anyways, but I just thought it was quick.

No, it's not just you. I agree that the stoppage was quick. Max Kellerman thought so too (though Lederman, Pappa, and Roy Jones all disagreed). Manfredo didn't do himself any favors by not hanging on to JCC Jr., but seriously, almost none of those shots on the ropes landed.

Andy Lee, Darren Barker, Craig McEewan, Peter Quillin. He should be reaching for that level next. I actually may agree with you about Lee.

The only way Bika beats Chavez Jr is by distracting him with pictures of his monstrosity of a wife.
