Like someone already said - Manfredo has to score a knockout to win. It's impossible for him to win a decision against Chavez ****in' Jr. I also expect Chavez to look good in this fight. Every fight he looks better and better, especially since Roach took over. Chavez' bodywork on Zbik was excellent as well, even if Chavez did outweigh him by 50 lbs. on fight night haha.
chavez and peter manfredo are fighting for a title once held by carlos monzon, marvin hagler, ray leonard, thomas hearns, roberto duran, gerald mcclellan and bernard hopkins. consider that.
Definitely not counting out Manfredo. Should be seen as a 50-50 fight. Both he and Alvarez are in fights they can lose.
manfredo needs a ko to win. he wont get a decision in mexico over chavez jr if its close. I know he can do it. i hope it comes to fruition.
i dont see it that way myself. chavez may not be marvin hagler but he's a much better fighter than peter manfredo. he wins this all the way for me. i think cintron has even less chance than manfredo of causing an upset. maybe the cintron of a few years back, but he's done nothing in the last year or two. but, thats just my opinion. i could be way out. as we all know, in boxing, anything could happen.
Chavez will edge it. His body attack will wear Manfredo down. Even if Manfredo does enough i think he will get robbed.
i'm trying to think of a time where chavez has had his chin tested. manfredo is not much of a puncher either. he's not paulie mallanagi but he's certainly can't put you to sleep with one punch.
I can't stand Jr. but had him beating Zbik on my card. I hope your hunch is right and Manfredo pulls of the upset.
Wouldn't be that much of an upset, I give Peter a good chance to win unless he hurt himself making weight
