NBC Sports: Amir Mansour vs. Steve Cunningham RBR

lol im still up, go on cunningham! might watch it

 

Big test for Mansour

 

Mansour SD. Cunningham will finist stronger and take the final rounds. Mansour will peobably knock him down.
Cunningham competely outboxing would not be a shocker.

 

Fancy Cunningham here

 

This is the fight that proves Mansour is legit or not....at his age,he needs to move fast,and to be fair, he has a pretty decent resume for a guy with 20 fights

 

What time is this likely to start ? Is it straight onto the Mansour Cunningham fight or is there some undercard fights first ?

 

Hopefully no distasteful ending like Frampton-Cazares

 

As long as Cunningham and Mansour can count we will be fine.

 

Mansour looked amateurish last fight...he was swinging like a caveman...he did get the ko but against a substandard opponent

Cunninghams gonna make Mansour look amateurish again

Can Mansour catch up and ko him? I dont think so

 

Exactly.

Feck, should refs start counting slowly now until a boxer recovers in time? It was actually great to see a ref actually give a 'real' 10 Second count for once.

Counts nowadays are becoming a joke, the downed boxer gets a good 15 seconds to rise from a slow count and then another few seconds whilst the ref is asking the boxer if he's okay so by the time his opponent can hit him again he's already recovered which takes away the point of scoring a knockdown.

 

these guys are grandpas 37 vs 41 lmao

 

It's a big test for Amir but one that 'HARDCORE' will pass with flying colours and hopefully his victory tonight will ensure a big fight on HBO or SHOWTIME as he deserves the biggest stage possible to fast track himself to a World title shot.

I've spoken to Amir a few times and have found him a good person who just wants to become the World Heavyweight Champion.

I personally think he's got the skills, power, heart and hunger to accomplish his dream.

Tonight is his biggest chance to showcase his talents to millions and all his fans and supporters who have followed him for the last few years will be hoping he scores a spectacular KO on Cunningham.

My prediction.

AMIR MANSOUR wins by KO Rd 1.

 

W. Klitschko is 38
