Manny knew before he got in the ring, probably before he signed the contract that he was fighting a completely shot fighter. He had zero respect for matthysse's power from the first bell and he'd at least have given it a round or two before he started walking him down if he wasn't certain he was fighting a tomato can.

I really hope he was fed Matthysse as a way to go out with a win and he doesn't continue but he's probably skint and will want to fight on. Almost certainly he fought Matthysse to set a bigger fight up.
