    Mansour got robbed of a TKO win vs Cunningham, should be undefeated. Exciting to watch.

    I don't know, I'm a big fan of Amir's and hope badly that he gets the win here, that being said Gerald Washington gave him a lot of problems for the first rounds of their fight with his immense height and reach advantage. And Breazeale has a bigger height advantage and basically the same reach, I could see if Dominic fights hyper cautiously for the first 5 or 6 rounds and uses his height and reach to his advantage pulling out a SD. I'm not ruling out a KO win for Dominic either, Mansour was dropped by Steve, although that had more to do with Amir being gassed than anything.

    Mansour is old and just a spoiler/gatekeepr at this point. Why get on a train that's about to end? He's treading water and cannot lose and he'll likely lose this fight.

    i'm personally more annoyed at mansours hype, than breazeales hype. i've never personally observed one bit of hype about brazeale. i must have missed it, he rarely even gets televised.

    I haven't heard the Mansour hype. I just see a guy who comes to fight and is trying to give it one last hurrah and earn some $$$.

    Even at his advanced age, Mansour has more to offer than hype train Breazeale ever will

    I've been looking forward to this fight - have followed Mansour, as I like to see someone turn their fortunes around - a tasty story to root for. Breazeale I have never been convinced by - and the scoring in the Kassi fight told me a lot about his protection level. Seems like a nice guy though.

    What I REALLY wanna see though, is Breazeale vs Price - which on paper to me is a very intriguing matchup. 2 flawed punchers, in a make or break tear up.

    he is definitely a worthwhile watch. just the whole " he's a killer, everyone is ducking him" bs got old quick. it was plainly evident from the first time i seen him, he was nowhere near top ten material.
