Yeah, Manfredo definitely got robbed. No idea how two different judges could've seen Mora winning 77 to 75. Even I would've only given him 3/8 rounds, at most.

I missed the first 3 rounds, but I'd agree. It looked to me like Manfredo got robbed.

Was the Contender title actually on the line? Or was it just a marketing thing?

regarding the anthony and manfredo fights again....you guys really have to watch the whole thing to see how patheic the results were....they totally got robbed...it was obvious tooo.....the fans knew it too...

You know it's rigged when the fans boo the decision in favor of the local boy.

I was actually there at the staple center and to me it looked like mora won. Pretty much the crowd was evenly plit. Half favored peter and the other favored mora...so yeah...that's my input.

The first fight with Gomez was probably the best match; perez took a couple shots, but that's boxing! No reason to stop the fight.

The second fight was a complete robbery - I don't know why people were cheering for Brinkley, but you got to feel for Anthony.

In the third fight, I actually liked Mora, Manfredo for all the hype around him isn't anything special. That and him raising his arms after each round was just too much.

Note: I have no boxing expertise other than Mike Tyson's punch out.
