Manfredo looked horrendous in that fight. Bull-rush and try to pin the guy against the ropes, followed up by eating about 3 punches for every one he threw. No leverage on any shots - it looked like he absolutely forgot how to box. Plus I thought he was a little dirty with his head constantly up under Sergio's eye. I think Sergio was getting choked with the constant head butts.

Same thoughts here.
Manfredo had a terrible fight plan, especially in a short fight where there was no hope that he'd simply wear Mora down.
I loved the series, but I'm not sure any of those guys would last against the true middleweight contenders.
Anyone else give them a chance against Wright, Hopkins, or Mosely?
Manfredo is clearly too slow. Mora reminds me to much of Naseem Hamed.
Gomez might have the best chance, and maybe Brinkley simply because of his punch.
Good series anyway.
