Peter dominated the fight and all Sergio did was steal rounds at the end. Sergio is terrible thats all he has done the entire show. The ending was a discrace. Peter you won, no doubt about it! As for Sergio be a man and fight and quit running your mouth. This fight showed how much class you have which is none. I hope you burn in hell!

Sergio was a huge disappointment. He would get SCHOOLED in a real title fight. Peter was much classier. Actually the entire show was disappointing. Brinkley/Gomez was a better fight.

What you really need to do is stop filing your nails as you try to judge a boxing match. Leaning in "ALL NIGHT" and tying up, and not being able to hit or at least hitting once and receiving four back is "NOT" dominating a fight. Peter on several occasions was dead on his feet, while Sergio looked like he could dance the Samba. You must be a friend of the family or from the East Coast. With those body shots Peter was receiving and grunting from all night, I'm very surprise he didn't go down. For that, Peter did show he deserved to be there. But about him "Winning The Fight", PLEASE!!! And I guess you think O.J is innocent.

Are you nuts? Sergio DOMINATED, especially in the end. The only thing that I'm amazed about Manfredo was still standing. You are absolutely wrong. You must be a close friend of Peter's.

Remember, a lot of the time it looked like Manfredo was winning because he was tying up Sergio and forcing him into the ropes (which was, by all means a good strategy). But he failed to really capitalize on that. He concentrated too much on tying Sergio up and taking away his movement, and forgot to unleash any hard combos.

Whoever said that Sergio was a pussy for leaning into the ropes, let's recall a fight of a much greater magnitude with Ali taking punches against the ropes to exhaust his opponent. Maybe Sergio didn't have that in mind but he deserved to win that fight 100%. Even the cheap shot by Manfredo after the bell couldn't help him.

LAST EDITED ON 05-25-05 AT 05:51 AM (EST)I watched the fight again. It is very hard to judge. It was a good fight. Don't blame Sergio for the Manfredos corners tactics. That was the plan they decided to use. Why? I have no clue. Did the Manfredos corner think that Peter could not stand toe to toe with Sergio? Obviously they didnt he could. Cus Manfredo kept leaning forward with his head and body and pushing and trying to tie Mora up. Mora said ok let's do it. I will still beat you. Sergio has studied Sugar Ray Leonard films. He loves them. That is where he learned how to steal rounds. It wins fights. If Manfredo could not capitalize in the 5th round where Sergio decides he want's to have a verbal war with Manfredo Sr. And Peter Sucker punches Sergio 3 times before Sergio gets back to taking Manfredo back to school, Peter deserves to lose. Truth be told.....Watch the fight again. Manfredo was a pubic hair away from getting knocked out. The ref had to carry Peter to the his corner. Sergio is a better boxer, with more brains and balls than you haters give him credit for. A new belt is born. A new breed of champion has evolved. Live with it. On another note. I wanted Bonsate to beat Ishe. Now should the fact that I wanted Ishe to lose cause me to say that I think Bonsante was a better fighter, and begin to make up excuses change the fact that Ishe out boxed, out hustled out shined out everythinged Bonsante. Hell no. Ishe won and that is that. Go watch the fight again. And then come back. Mora spanked Manfredo. And if you did not see Mora just unleash here and there in between rounds then you are not watching the fight. You are just seeing what you want to see. Peter ran out of gas in seven. Had it gone 8? Nite Peter go to sleep. Mora just wanted it more.

LAST EDITED ON 05-25-05 AT 12:51 PM (EST)Mora spanked Manfredo. And if you did not see Mora just unleash here and there in between rounds then you are not watching the fight. You are just seeing what you want to see. Peter ran out of gas in seven. Had it gone 8? Nite Peter go to sleep. I'm not a fight fan, know almost nothing about boxing or what is considered a good fight. But I've been watching The Contender from the beginning of the season to last night's $1 mil fight. And thanks in part to the editing by Mark Burnett, but also to the real heart I see in many of these fighters, I was rooting from early on for both Sergio and Alfonso. I think a lot of these fighters are "underdogs" in that they came up from nothing. But Fonso and Sergio seem to come from especially tough beginnings. I think Manfredo is a very good fighter too. But I watched and re-watched last night's fight and what I saw was Sergio landing more hard punches, throwing more good combinations, and overall he just plain out-boxed Manfredo. Peter did run out of gas in the 7th round, and he was basically carried over to his corner. I know this doesn't have anything to do with boxing, but how can you hate a guy who is doing this all so his mom won't have to work at her factory job anymore?

id agree, it was a close fight at the beginning, but there was never a round in the first three that was one sided. sergio took advantege of the closeness of rounds by hitting big combos at the end of rounds. dont be angry at sergio for taking advantage of a situation, blame peter for not talking advantage

I TOTALLY disagree with you! Sergio was the one holding Peter's arms all night, and then throwing cheap shots while he was holding him! Sergio was the one who kept tying up and resting and holding Peter back. Sure, Sergio had a few good shots, but he's not a REAL fighter -- we never really got to see him fight since he was too busy holding Peter all night! By the way, after taxes and buy a house, he really isn't going to be able to support his mother for the rest of her life! That was a big, sad sob story so everyone could feel sorry for him!

You have got to be kidding me? Which fight were you watching? I'm pretty sure when Manfredo's arms were wrapped around Mora's that meant Manfredo was doing the holding. Halfway through the fight it wasn't even holding anymore, Mora was holding him up because Manfredo ran out of steam. You can disagree with the decision, dislike Mora for a few foul words you couldn't even hear but how can you take away a clearly superior boxer's victory because you are a Manfredo fan? You may not like the decision, but watch the fight again and you'll understand that Mora plain and simple outboxed Manfredo.

I wanted Manfredo to win but he fought the wrong fight. He wasted more energy holding Sergio against the ropes. Sergio rested on the ropes and hit Manfredo when he saw the opportunity, especially with the flurries that impressed the judges. I'm sorry but Sergio was the better fighter last night.Because the board was locked..I'm responding here to the comment that said..."Ishe was maybe the best fighter coming in and still may be the best fighter in this entire Contender show. Ishe would have floored Sergio if the fight had been even a 7 rounder." Time will tell how good Ishe is but I don't think he's that good especially not the best figher coming. If he was, he would of been in the final four. I don't think he could take any of the fighters in the final four. Time will tell.

Ok, so Ishe beat Alfonso but he did it back in June of 2001. They both were younger and less experienced (and Gomez was 19). It would be a much different fight now. Also, who cares if he smoked Anthony...he has good boxing skills so he should. Time will tell for Ishe, I just don't think he's the best going out. Mabye down the road he will get a rematch with Sergio to prove himself.

Um hello the whole show was about his mom. Did you ever think the whole series was for show? Sergio's story centered around his mom. He was fighting so that his mom would not have to work anymore. If you ask me I think it was pretty classy/ strong of her to sit back and let him prasie his mom pay respects to his mom. COuld you do that for your man? If you watched more closely, yu'll notice that his girlfrined was always in the picture, at the fights and she is not his wife nor do they have children. Every other girl there was a wife or mother of the boxer's kids. I think it is pretty apparrent that Sergio's girlfrined was there for a reason. HE WANTED HER THERE. Stop hating. She is the one who is going to reap any benefits from his winnings not you chica.

REALLY? I didn't think it was apparent at all. She looked like a normal every day mom to me and probably worked just as much as most working moms. I guess since he has 2 trucks now, he really can invest and possible make some money, but I still think he lived up to his name of being a snake.

40. "RE: Sergio=BS" |
LAST EDITED ON 05-25-05 AT 04:04 PM (EST)Here's what I base my assessment on, which has not been proven anything but true to my knowledge: Sergio and his brother have been raised by their single mom, I think for most of their lives. She works in a factory in Los Angeles, hard physical work, per Sergio's own statements. She has to take the bus to work every day. I don't personally know what factory workers earn, but I'm guessing it's not very much. I'm also pretty sure it's rather demanding, physical work. As to your statement, "worked just as much as most working moms." Most of the moms, single or otherwise, that I know (myself included) - work their butts off to provide for their kids. Any one of my single mom friends would certainly be deserving of never having to work again in their life, and if that came about because their child loved them and was able to provide for them - fantastic. I'm not sure why it irritates you so much to hear Sergio say he wanted the money so he could provide for his mom and brother, but whatever floats your boat I guess.

Oh, but I think he did! I think Manfredo dominated at least the first 2 rounds. He did enough to open Sergio's eye, and I truly think that Sergio held Manfredo's arms so much that even a child could have won.

I have watched the fight 7 times and each time I say ok Peter should win it this time but everytime I watch the fight Sergio Mora wins. Watch the fight again. Listen to Peter Manfredos dad tell Peter going into round two. Keep doing what you are doing. Hold him and then work the body and with left try and punch over hand. That was the Manfredo strategy to hold Sergio. Blame the Manfredos. Hey Sergio is not done he will be a millionaire yet. Endorsements and a few more fights. He will be handing his mom yet a bigger house with a maid.  hehehehheheee If Peter won the fight why did they have to carry him to his corner? Joe Cortez had to pretty much call a cab. And did you see how Peter had no gas. My grandmother could of punched with more speed and power in the final round. Peter was spent. and not to mention he was going down. He got saved by the bell. Sergio should of sucker punched him after the bell rang like Peter did to Sergio at the end of round 2. Peter would of went PLOP! LOL
