LAST EDITED ON 05-01-05 AT 11:05 PM (EST)I read the same thing -- and immediately reviewed the fight tape. But as we've discussed before, it's so hard to judge a round with all the editing! From what was available (via yahoo), the round looked to be Peter's .. and quite easily, actually. Even Joey's corner gave the round to Manfredo when the round was completed. Additionally, at the start of the fifth round .. Joey's father yells, "It's tied 2-2. You need this round, Joey!" Or something to that extent. Peter then appeared to land quite few good shots in the the last round .. and the fight was stopped with about 30 seconds remaining.
I wonder if Tommy made a mistake in his analysis .. because it just doesn't make any sense. His post-fight comments (with Stallone and the rest of the "counsel") don't mention anything, either. Interesting. I'm looking forward to the score cards.
