    This is, on paper, a very good heavyweight bout for a Tuesday.

    Washington is undefeated in 16 pro bouts. He's a big guy, 6'6'', 82'' reach, usually comes in around 250lbs (almost exactly Wlad's features). I've checked a few of his fights and I didn't see anything impressive. He looked like a more physically fit version of Dominic Breazeale to me.

    Mansour, on the other hand, looked very average vs Dawejko until Dawejko gassed. I guess it will be a matter of whether Washington's chin will hold up against Mansour's bombs or not. If it does, though, coupled with the fact that Washington is signed with Haymon, we might see a controversial decision on the cards.

    It will be a big win for whoever wins and we can see the winner in an eliminator level fight soon.

    How do you see this bout?

    Dawejko is underrated, yet Mansour won easily. He will be at a better weight for this bout, and I can see him winning by early KO.

    Mansour KO2.

    Same. Mansour will be a bit too much for Washington at this point. I don't think it will set Washington back too far though. Maybe he'll learn and grow from this if he loses.

    I hope Washington has improved since the Aguilera match.

    Surprised to see this tough an opponent choice for Washington

    Breazle is an Olympian and they'd never put him in this tough

    Washington has good size and skill. His stamina seems to be wanting at this point though. That should come with experience though, I hope.

    Kassi has much better skills than Washinton yet Mansour cathed him and KO'd him cold. Washington is Seth Mitchell #2

    Washington is a fraud. Should have lost to Nagy, Mansour is going to destroy him.

    Good fight.

    If Mansour gets the victory, he might get that big fight he's been wanting.

    Its now or never for him

    Washington bears a bit of a resemblance to Jorge Luis Gonzalez

    Washington has poor stamina and he doesn’t really have any talent: he's just a decent athlete.
    Mansour by brutal ****.

    Like Mansour, if he wins he should get a title shot soon.

    He should, but they won't let him even near Wilder and Wlad will be tied up for a while with big names and mandatories.
