Yet he still beats all they put infront of him, including Eubank, no mean feat even at his age, also at the time p4p number 4 Hopkins, America's next big thing Lacy, who Toney was bragging about, and of course the excellent Kessler, You'd think after 46 fights, he'd have been found out by now, or maybe he really is that good?
All this joe hating is getting seriously boring, granted a bad stoppage, but by this stage joe had already showed he was classes above that joker manfredo, and landed numberous combos. I am a calzaghe fan and equally a roy jones fan, but all this joe hating and not giving him his credit makes me want him to beat jones well.
problem is we see jones sitting on the ropes exactly like lately this taking shots, it plays right into joes hands.
Manfredo doesn't look at all hurt, but he wasn't throwing any punches in return, and had the fight continued, he would have probably got legitimately KO'd within the round.
Personally I think the Byron Mitchell stoppage was worse because he was OK to continue and very competitive in that fight. Manfredo was just scared and wanted to get out. Watch the first 3 rounds he never tried throw any big punches.
uh no. If you are throwing punches that are being blocked and forcing your opponent to cover up against the ropes and making him unable to throw punches, that is effective agression.
