I haven't seen the fight and i'll take everyones word that it was stopped prematurely but it really doesn't matter. He had his chance to step up while he was a highly rated (i hate using this word right now because of the show title) contender and he blew it. Season 2 had a much more promising cast and i think maybe 1 or 2 of those guys might become something one day.
I disagree that they are bum's. They are contenders, not champs. I truly feel if there wasn't so much managed match making in boxing we would have a lot more upsets. Manfredo is a solid pro. He's in shape, got some skill, and a little power. He's not gonna be an all time great, but he's fighting up to and maybe a little past his physical abilities. I think people expect every up and coming fighter on tv to be an all time great. It's just too high of expectations, not that these guys suck.
