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.
