Crooked hometown referees for Joe Calslappy.

Don´t worry Kessler will knock him out.

 

apart from the manfredo stoppage, give me some more examples of premature stoppages and dodgy decisions in calzaghe fights.

 

mitchell was out on his feet, wasn't defending himself, wasn't throwing back and was only held up by the ropes when he went flying backwards.

 

Some might mention Sheika. I don't think that was a particularly bad stoppage, just that he was throwing punches unlike Peter "deer in the headlights" Manfredo. (Calzaghe was the biggest victim of that premature stoppage imo)

 

common, give us some examples.

 

:good don't se him loose this one either, no matter what ref it's going to be :bbb

 

Ffs! Your not gonna tell me you thought that the Mitchell fight was a premature stoppage are you!?:admin

 

The assault on Calzaghe here is more effective than any attack anyone has mounted against him in the ring.He slaps, he this and that, yet no one has come close to beating him.Maybe Kessler will end his run , but to me , Joe earned his bones by reducing the much feared Lacy to a speed bag.

 

Oh people have come close, and I feel Kessler will come closest of all.

 

The manfredo fight wasn't even premature.

If a guy is sat on the ropes taking many punches and not fighting back then the guy deserves to be stopped whether the punches were clean or not and whether they are hurting or not.

DEFEND YOURSELVES AT ALL TIMES

 

In my opinion he was defending himself, and despite taking so many unanswered shots, he wasn't actually "taking" many at all. They were shitty pitty patter punches and in no way was he hurt.

If you want to get technical the ref had the right to stop it, but really it was so soft. Weak.

As someone else said it did Calzaghe more harm than good, as he would have just smashed manfredo anyway. But you cant just assume every fight.

 

Yep, Calzaghe would likely have knocked Peter flat out very soon if the referee wasn't an idiot.

 

Hate to break up all the wild speculation and posturing but have they announced the referee for this fight?
