A good fight until the quitting. I guess a broken jaw is suspected
It is ugly:
“Heavyweight Amir Mansour pressed the action for most of five rounds Saturday night against Dominic Breazeale, but quit on his stool following the fifth round after he bit through his tongue and was choking on his own blood, unable to keep a mouthpiece in.”
Very sad, as Mansour’s high-risk style is very exciting. Let’s hope for a recovery.
Amen to that.
Arrgh. What a nasty way to end a fight he was dominating :( Thanks for the info. Breazeale is far from being impressive. I would see him as a very soft first defense for Martin to milk the title a bit. What do you think? Breazeale has the record but not the skills.
You might be right, Matt. I’ll admit I don’t know enough about either guy to say. But in this fight I do think Mansour had Breazeale, or soon would have had him, if not for the injury.
Yep, Mansour was doing a great job hitting hard to the body, with a Breazele mostly receiving punishment without an answer. On ESPN web they mention Amir having a broken jaw and the tongue bite. I guess thats part of why he looked so tired in the last round.
what a dissapointement, mansour could have recovered from his opponent’s punishement. i wonder why he gave up? i was doing great until rd . i am so pissed tonight because my second favorite heavyweight gave up too easily
Look at @arjaycee:disqus description below, Axel. :/
Good fight.
Yet another heavyweight vs super heavyweight. Feel bad for these guys.
Breazeale is to Fn lazy.
He doesn’t have the drive for boxing.
nice fight. Breazeale needs to adjust but he was able to deal with a boxer who hits hard. Mansour has discovered boxing too late. Lacks stamina and his boxing style doesn’t suite over 30 boxers.
A fight that shown an abysmal physical difference. However, Mansour put a very good fight and was winning before abandoning. He miserable missed the golden opportunity he has in round 3 because was not persistent in his attach after sending Dominic to the canvas giving him enough time for recovery. In some portions was a kind of street fight with low techniques and Dominic didn’t impressed me at all.
mansour needs mike tysons 11/2 ” heel boxing shoes: and a killer instinct!
