NBC Sports: Amir Mansour vs. Steve Cunningham RBR

arreola above chisora is a coin flip. above thompson is a crime.

 

This is another example for a fight that its usually not the "chin" that decides the fight but overall boxing skill.

 

Top 10 heavyweight Adamek who was on a great run of
getting ko'd by Vitali
beating Nagy Aguilera
getting outboxed by a one armed Eddie Chambers
getting dropped by Travis Walker
getting outboxed by USS Cunningham
looking poverty vs Dominick Guinn

 

Very nice win for Cunningham showed great poise and heart. Hopefully this leads to another solid fight for him. Cunningham vs Glazkov would be a nice fight! As for Amir he should shop his talents to a trainer, I know he is old but he still has ability, he has fast and heavy hands a bit more technique and patience and he could of won. Hopefully he gets a decent fight too, to stay in the picture.

 

Agreed.

 

This was about USS' technical and incredible recovery skills winning him the fight more as it was skills overcoming chin problems.

 

I've seen the fight in replay (thanks to YT)
Great heavyweight, really. This was the beste heavuweight fight i've seen this year.
I had it 94-93 for Cunningham. He was the deserved winner, but Amir showed a lot of heart.

 

uss was motivated by his family especially his daughter who has a bad heart. i had steve by decision. i knew he could pull it off. amir tires out in the mid rounds. rafael as usual had amir by ko atsch

 

I was a bit emotional last night seeing Mansour lose, he dosen't have age on his side and may not get the chances winning this fight would have given him.

If i was scoring honestly, i had it 6-4 in rds to Cunningham and 94-93 with the Knockdowns so i take nothing away from Steve.

My big problem with the fight was the ref Steve Smoger, for the second week in a row the guy blew it big time.

Cunningham took 11 seconds to rise from the first KD and it was a total of 22 seconds from the moment Cunningham hit the ground till the fight was resumed.

22 seconds for a KD is bull****, it not only gave Cunningham enough time to recover some of his senses but it also mean't there was less time for Mansour to finish Cunningham.

The second KD count also lasted 11 seconds long and again he had 21 seconds to recover by which time the bell for the end of the round rang.

That mean't for the 2 KD's, Cunningham had a total of over 40 seconds recovery time and took away from Mansour's time to knock him out.

I'd much rather have British ref's who follow the rules of boxing then refs who just make up their own rules as they go along.

One last thing, Mansour proved he is one of the most exciting Heavyweight out there and deserves more exposure on television. I did think he should have stuck to his jabbing that proved so good in the 1st rd and he did get too wild later in the fight so hopefully he learns from this fight and comes back stronger.

 

:blood wtf

 

What do you mean 'wtf'?

What exactly is your problem?

 

:roll: look at what you wrote :roll:

 

I had a feeling Johnson was a good fighter he was an olimpian and had a good amateur pedigree, he also used to train with Cuban olimpic team my only doubt about him coming to this fight was his chin and he showed he could take a shot and even though he lost i think his stock rose in defeat and me and others now look forward to see more of him.

 

i thought he could pull off an upset against curtis. ref seemed to stop the fight rather quick. tureano didnt have a chance to retaliate. he got hit by with some big shots from stevens before. ref to me looked like he was trying to save curtis from a definite loss. tureano was winning on most peoples fight cards

 

Tell me what part you mean exactly and don't give some vague answer again like you actually know something because you clearly don't.

Also stop with the silly emoticons, are you fecking 12 or something.
