POST FIGHT QUOTES


Peter Manfredo, Jr.: "He had never been stopped. He was tough. I hit him with a lot of good shots, but he wasn't up to my talent level. His head was like a cinder block. He said he learned watching Vinny Paz fights. I hit him with some big shots. I didn't look my best, maybe a 6 or 7 on a scale of 10, and I should have taken him out earlier. I was coming off a fight (loss to Jeff Lacy) that I left a lot of people down. You'll see a lot better things in the future. I'm trying to make 160 but, if the money's at 168, I'll take it. I'm taking a serious shot at it (world title). This was a comeback fight and I'm headed in the right direction."
