""""that sanchez /bojourqez line looks insane to me...sanchez should have beaten verno phillips....
and every time i see him,bojourqez is looking more and more like damaged goods...and lord,he`s god-awful slow....
sanchez has been fighting very well....
maybe bojourqez can hurt him and get him out...but,i like the way sanchez has been fighting....
wrong guy favored here?.....could be....getting better than 1.5 for 1?...i like it...wish i`d seen it earlier...
.............................................................
and i hope to hell that calzaghe is a little irked at that fantastic kessler performance last week....
`cause he`s got the perfect foil in front of him next week....a relatively light punching,smallish,straight forward plugger that`s fighting way out of his comfort zone in wales...
i think other than the contender(which was vs mostly much smaller guys),manfredo has fought outside new england once....
he`s been talking smack...and i hope that calzaghe realizes that it would behoove him to whack this con(pre)tender in front of an american audience....
manfredo called calzaghe a (slapper) and he`s full of himself after k.o.ing two bums as a super middleweight(pemberton and spina...both dogs).....
we have height,reach,speed,power,...venue.....the lefty/righty advantage......
he has a guy that`s easy to hit in front of him....a guy that`s used to fighting almost exclusively at home.....
you have his nemesis coming off a huge int` national t.v. win....
this should be a blow out...if calzaghe wants it....he may just dance his way to a win...if he does,shame on him....
he doesn`t have to k.o. manfredo...he can just batter him into submission....the talent/class gap here is enormous....
what more can you ask...i wish the under were 9.5 instead of 7.5......
so,i parlayed under 7.5 with mayweather by 12 rd decision.....and got better than 4-1 odds....
if calzaghe gets it done(and it`s not calzaghe`s style to go for broke early),we have a nice hedge to play with in the dlh fight....
a nice longshot wager....
theres a calzaghe inside the distance at -280(-225 now).........i wouldn`t lay a flat-280.....but,this could be used in another parlay.....i will be shocked if calzaghe allows a ham n`egger like manfredo to go 12...
if calzaghe doesn`t toy with manfredo(who deserves a title shot about as much as larry holmes does),he`d better not get in with kessler....
i can`t imagine calzaghe not showing off here in his hometown....his last fight vs bika was uninspiring....
how is manfredo a top 10 super middle after wins over spina and pemberton?....
but,you never know...he may go through the motions"""""...

i posted this awhile back...this may be(hands notwithstanding) the safest 10-1 shot in history,imo....
this is an utter mismatch...try and imagine joe calzaghe fighting some of the riff raff from the contender...
it all depends on his motivation....and manfredo,(who won`t have freddy roach with him)has done quite a bit of talking....
look at this picture...
calzaghe looks huge compared to manfredo...his fist is as big as manfredo`s head....joe`s a very big super mddle...manfredo`s a mid-sized middleweight...
every advantage calzaghe....i can`t think of one manfredo advantage..
i know manfredo`s chin is pretty good...but,i recall seeing him stunned on the contender...he hasn`t fought many big bangers...nothing like calzaghe..
fight ends inside the distance-300
calzaghe inside the distance-225....
????????...they saying that manfredo has a shot at stopping calzaghe?....
you could parlay joe inside the distance with khan under 5.5 and get better than even odds..
looking for the best companion with the joe inside the distance prop....
