Calzaghe Too Good for Manfredo

Post by Jaime »

Boxing legend Joe Calzaghe extended his incredible record by moving up a gear in the third round to expose a gulf in class and force a controversial stoppage of Peter Manfredo.

no surprises here.
here on the other side of the pond we knew manfredo was a 3rd-rater, puffed up by being on a "reality" tv show.
he shouldn't have been in there but i suppose they were trying to capture the non-fans for the pay per view.
calzaghe-kessler is the one real fans want to see or at least calzaghe-taylor.
