There he lost his first fight on points against Alfonso Gómez , but then defeated the later WBC / WBO World Championship challenger Miguel Espino, the undefeated Joey Gilbert and in a rematch Alfonso Gómez.

Five months later he was also defeated in the rematch at "The Contender Special" against Mora by split point decision.

In 2006 he prevailed ahead of time against future IBF World Cup challenger Scott Pemberton and the undefeated Joe Spina.

Manfredo lost in the fight at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff but was controversial due to the referee dropping out in the third round (TKO).
