http://www.boxingtalk.com/pag/article14938.html They are fighting at 171? Is it me or does Manfredo look like the smallest 168 lb you seen. I am a Manfredo fan but going up in weight doesn't really seem like a good idea. Before everyone blasts me for being a Manfredo fan, I am local and have seen him fight numerous times - even before the contender. So I find it fun to have a local guy you can support, even got my wife to tag along to a couple of fights and now she can't get enough. So now blast away but can anyone tell me about Benfield?
You arent the only one who is questioning the weight on this fight. The plan is for Peter to take this fight, then have his next fight around 165 and then closer to 160. They feel that within four fights, assuming four wins, that he will be ready for bigger fights at middleweight. Mike Host, 'Toe2Toe' www.TheKnockoutNetwork.com
