WILL PETER MANFREDO JNR BECOME WORLD CHAMP??????????

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

Agree with you Pride, as i usually do about Manfredo.. i'm an RI native and i've been watching him as much as any one of his fans have and last night was just not what i expected.. I know that banks was pretty damn fast but it seemed like Peter was at about 80% the whole fight. Besides his left hook when in close he had nothing to work off of.. Also, have you noticed how much he throws that straight right now after the spina fight? haha.. i kept anticipating it, and i think that Peter thought he would've been able to knock him out with that punch, he just didn't get a chance to throw it enough.. Also he really needed to jab more, he kept his left hand low as he was walking in and was just getting clobbered..
He definitely won decisively, but if Banks was just a litttlllee better and was able to absorb a little more punishment without abandoning that right hand that was landing early in the fight, peter would've had some serious problems. I think it's safe to say that if he fights anyone decent the way he did last night it will not be pretty.. he needs Freddie back BADLY.

I don't understand the stratigy he had... Banks is quick... Why not jab and keep him off... I don't know...

Pains me to say but he looked like shit.

He'll be back in october

Can't wait to see how he handles Green

Hopefully not like Jaidon

I think Berrio would be his best route if he was going to win one or back down to middle opinions guys please.

Maybei f he fought in womens division because he hasn't got a chance here.

[Trainer Monkey]

No
Last night he threw almost all of his punches in strict choreagraphed combos,he didnt drive a single one pulling the shots back after they barely touched,let alone the concept of counterpunching
If Banks had been able to keep up the pace he started,hed have tuned him.
People accuse Calzaghe of pitter patter shots,but that was ridiculous

a little harsh...

He has a long road ahead of him.. but he said it himself, he has to get out of RI and concentrate and train with Freddie to get back on track. I'm almost glad that last night went the way it did, it could act as a wake up call. I'm really interested to see how he fights after some intense training in the alleged Green fight.

Not really he just isn't elite he maybe be good at about ranking 15 or just below top 10 but he isn't ever going to win a world title.

Not the way he fought last night... I think 14 is right where he belongs at this skill level.

Hopefully he improves

And who was his opponent last night David Banks theres your answer.

The only reasons Banks didnt start countering those pitter pat combos was inexperience,and he gassed himself in the early going
Because those combos certainly werent hurting him,against an elite oponnent Manfredo is going to get tuned up trying that

[superheavyrhun]

Against most of the other posters, I think that Manfredo Jr has as much a chance as anyone to grab a title, because if the Calzaghe v Kessler fight is to come off, I can see a few fights for vacant titles in its aftermath. And in honesty there are not that many fighters in the SMW division who are that good, and bouts against some of the contenders (pun intended) could see Manfredo get one of the belts, but I guess it depends which one he gets.

I had to vote no as well....manfredo is a decent fighter but in the division he's in there are too many better fighters there...banks is definatly very inexperienced and pooped out early in the fight or that would have made things a lot worse for peter last night....man at some points i thought banks was actually sleep inbetween rounds..hey one bright spot for peter though when his eye swoll early at least they didn't stop the fight...if that was the calzaghe fight and assuming joe could actually hit him hard enough they would have stopped it if peter would have blinked to many times.
