Comments Thread For: Amir Mansour: I Couldn’t Breathe in TKO Loss to Breazeale

[Eff Pandas]

Boxing nowadays is so soft and PC...fighters back in the day would have continued..

Yea boxing has been downhill every since the first boxer quit on the stool in 1998 Stop it.

Mansour's trainer didn't give a dam about him. Mansour tells him he can't continue and the trainer is telling him just move to your right smh.

I think the trainer was just in the moment & knew Mansour was winning & might could still win the fight. Believe Ali wanted to quit in the Liston fight, but Dundee threw his ass back out there. Did Dundee not care about Ali or just wanna win a fight his guy was winning? I think a similar argument could be made for Mansour's trainer. Whatever the case I don't think the answer has to be he don't give a damn about Mansour.

I think fans are too hard on guys who's bodies give out for whatever reason in boxing. Mansour put on a good show & there is no reason to think he can't come back & give more entertaining shows. I mean no one loves it when a fight ends without a conclusive ending, but there is so much more going on in the ring & in guys' bodies than anyone can see. Sometimes your **** just comes crashing down & your window to win closes because of your bodies limitations.

It's boxing, man. It's the hurt business. Mansour was dominating the fight. His trainer wanted his man to win. Boxing is a rough sport.

There's a bit of self interest involved too, but mostly, he wanted to see Mansour take home the victory, and it was so close to happening. It was a tense moment.

I feel bad for Mansour, the guy is a hardcore fighter, but this is how a 40 something year old is supposed to look w/o PEDs. They gas and take big shots as a result. The size difference was pretty crazy, I'd like to see Amir get another good fight against someone closer to his size like Povetikin. He kind of looks like a HW Marvin Hagler.

He probably gassed from throwing nothing but haymakers the entire fight, while swallowing blood.

Boxing nowadays is so soft and PC...fighters back in the day would have continued...nowadays..the aggressor gets no credit if he doesn't hurt the runner badly... scoring is all messed up..hardly any fighters have any heart...dude quit plain and simple..had it been Pacquiao or Rocky Marciano..would have continued.. Amir WoMansour, you quit, plain and simple..don't try to use the "I Can't Breathe" line to gain sympathy for your quitting..you don't have the heart old man.. go retire...

Here's a pic of the last guy who refused to quit in a fight.



Hardcore enough for you?

]Breazeale was out of shape

Yeah he is garbage, does anyone have a picture of the right side of monsour face? He had a huge dent like it was sunken in, his jaw got fracture clearly, this why never open your mouth wide when fighting if you get hit hard with the mouth wide open you are going to get it broken

Damn man, that's sad. That pic is a harsh reality of the risk these guys put themselves in everytime they step into the ring for our entertainment.

The man was whipping Breazeale ass, it is not like he was getting picked apart and quit like Martinez did. The man couldn't breath, WTF is wrong with some of you? Grow the *** up!

[ShoulderRoll]

The loss won't affect Mansour's marketability. A lot of people will want to see him again after that performance.

Breazeale have a good account of himself too. He showed flaws but he also showed heart and some punching power.

Sure the trainer was in the moment but when your fighter is telling you he can't go on any longer as a trainer you should listen. Just move to your right is the advice of a trainer begging for his fighter to get hurt.

The point I was trying to make was you live to fight another day. Mansour was ahead on the cards but the fight was at the halfway mark. He had a long way to go. Now he'll be able to recover from his injuries and come back strong.

I hear you man. I just think the trainer should listen to his fighter as well. If a guy tells his trainer he can't go on, it's usually for a good reason. Mansour has been through a lot. I'm sure he would've continued if possible.
