It was early...but so what? He was doing nothing & had done nothing for pretty much the whole fight.

Calzaghe clearly owned his a**...just as was expected.

Let it go.
There wasn't a "whole fight" for Peter to have done nothing. Seriously. Bhop didn't start fighting until the 7th round against Taylor, and most of us think he won. PBF does that type of thing all the time, letting fighters swing away as he does his shoulder roll and eventually moves out of the corner. It's garbage and the only reason there's not outrage is because Joe was heavily favored. Any other situation and everyone would be pissed.

Seriously, Joe broke his hand. In 3 more rounds this could have been a whole different fight. Clottey was owning Margarito till he broke his hand. Who's to say that wouldn't have happened in this fight. Never know, and I doubt Peter would have won but he still should get kissed before he gets fooked.

The ref owes Manfredo a kiss.
Surely you didn't even remotely bring comparisons between some twot who's claim to faim is blowing it on reality television to matches of Hopkins, Floyd, or Taylor?

Come on now...let's keep it real. No matter how much one dislikes Calzaghe, you must save face & acknowledge that Manfredo didn't do S***. He was getting hammered...no matter what he said afterwards.

Joe's fought 12 rounds with a broken hand & beaten much better men than Manfredo. Joe's owned everyone he fought...injured or not.
I don't dislike Calzaghe. And I think Peter is a decent fighter. I think everyone calling him a reality tv character is ridiculous. He was a fighter before, has a strong amatuer background and is a literal contender. I think every fighter is human, and just because they beat someone better yesterday doesn't mean they will do it today. Tyson lost to McBride, Nunn got ko'd when he was dominating a fight. It happens all the time. Corrales got off the deck twice and ko'd Castillo.

All I am saying is the ref never gave the challenger a chance. Joe winning the second round clearly, hardly constitutes Peter doing nothing. The first round was hardly any action, 2nd joe won, 3rd got stopped after a flurry of hardly any punches landed.

How can you disagree with that? I could care less who wins, I just like competetive fights. I am all for stopping a beating, but give the guy a chance. Corrales took a beating and if it was anyone but Corrales I think they would have stopped it. Manfredo get's tko'd without a bruise, without any blood?

Just a sorry excuse for a fight and it's ALL the ref's fault. It's offensive to a professional to give them NO CHANCE, and NO RESPECT. That's all....
