    Sergio Martinez-Peter Manfredo in July?


    Promoter Lou DiBella has a lot of options when it comes to his sizzling-hot fighter Sergio Martinez.
    Alfredo Angulo? Perhaps in the fall in Mexico. Felix Sturm? Also a possibility for the fall. James Kirkland? That could happen next year if Kirkland continues to develop as an attraction and remains on the straight and narrow.
    For now, after five highly demanding matchups in a row over two years, DiBella has another idea: Peter Manfredo, who DiBella also promotes.
    DiBella is working on a fight between Martinez and the former participant in the Contender reality series in July at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center in Providence, R.I., Manfredo’s hometown. Martinez has an HBO date that month.

    I remember Martinez saying he didn't wanna fight Pirog because it would be a step back compared to his recent opposition.

    Its probably the only choice that the promoters and networks will agree upon, so i expect it to happen. O well, Martinez will make some cash, and so will Manfredo, who apparently really needs it. **** it, let them fight.

    Manfredo seems like a nice guy and let martinez take on a easy fight in the middle and finish off with a tough opponent, I dont mind it.

    Major step backwards for martinez and HBO won't buy it. Pirog is more
    deserving and has more interest from the network than does manfredo,
    and at least has a chance against sergio whereas peto has none.

    Martinez should be chasing a megafight at the moment, if he wants the $$$ he is going to have to come down to at least 154 for a megafight...
