Manfredo's boxing skill and busy left hook were the difference in a fight that saw both men doing damage and exchanging often to the delight of the sold-out crowd. Gingras had Manfredo stunned and in serious trouble in round three but after that Manfredo upped the pressure and was never in trouble again as he broke Gingras down with hard body shots and chopping combinations.
