Since there has been so much Sergio Mora action on this site, I thought I would post an update with Sergio’s post fight comments round by round…Enjoy and keep the comments coming…

ROUND 1
I feel this round was close, he was the aggressor, but I landed the better shots. His punches felt hard and he was strong in the inside; but after the end of the first round I knew he would not beat me.

ROUND 2
This round looked like most of the fight. The rounds looked close, but in reality they weren’t. I was landing great body shots, which he didn’t expect me to do, and I feel I surprised him on how strong my punches were.

ROUND 3
This was a really good round. I feel this was the last of Manfredo’s chances to win. I was getting stronger, not to mention the Latin Snake began to come out, and it felt he was getting discouraged. When he caught me with that solid punch after the bell and didn’t faze me, I think the fight was won there.

ROUND 4
I would like to clear up something. When I decided to pick a verbal fight with Manfredo’s corner, I was addressing Peter Sr. and his chief second. They said some stuff, I said my piece, and that was that. It was totally impromptu, and although I don’t regret it, I wanted to clear air.

ROUND 5, 6 AND 7
I feel I won these rounds convincingly and watching them on TV was exciting. The only thing on my mind at this point was Sugar Ray Leonard and Marvin Hagler when Ray would shoeshine off the ropes. I wanted to be the “Latin Sugar” at this time. When the bell rang ending the bout, I knew I had it won. And if I would have had another round I truly feel I would of stopped him. When the decision was finally announced, I felt like a million bucks!

Right after my fight with Manfredo, I went straight from the press conference to the hospital. I received two cuts, both caused by head butts, and both cuts needed 6 stitches each. Needless to say, I have never been so happy being in at the hospital.
