Shelton, Washington (October 14) – Premier Boxing Champions uzwane-TO-uzwane ngoLwesibili on FS1 futhi FOX Deportes amabombo Northwest PacificTuesday ebusuku Little Creek Casino Resort kanye iziqubu ezintathu okuthakazelisayo ukuthi umvuthwandaba nge amadlingozi wesibhakela umdlalo up ukuthi zigcine draw uqhekeko.

Gerald Washington (Manje 16-0-1, 11 Kos) elawulwa isenzo esemncane ubude eyisikhulu sayo futhi ephakeme wesibhakela nekhono kodwa southpaw ezincane Amir Mansour sika (Manje 22-1-1, 16 Kos) ingcindezi esinonya waqala ukuba ngivule Washington njengoba wayivala igebe by kokufika overhand lefts. With the fight up for grabs the two heavyweights traded hard shots in the 10th and final round that led the judges to rule the fight a 10-round split draw scoring the bout 97-93 Washington, 96-94 Mansour and 95-95.

“I think it’s a terrible decision,” wathi Washington. “I nakanjani won ukulwa. No doubt about it. I won the first four rounds for sure. I rested up a little bit in the middle. The last three or four, he wasn’t even touching me. He was chasing me around. He wasn’t landing any shots at all.

“My corner was telling me to just jab and throw straight punches. Ngase kokufika zonke isibhamu okuhle. Akazange nomhlaba yimuphi isibhamu okuhle. Ngingafuna ukwenza rematch uma uzokwenza kimi sengathi? Bheka ubuso bakhe, ukubheka indlebe yakhe. Bheka ubuso bami, Angizange ukuthatha noma yisiphi isijeziso. I Boxed kuye smart. Wayengagwegwesi nolaka, kodwa ngase kokufika zonke isibhamu.”

“Washington esesifundazweni ezinye isibhamu okuhle lapho, kodwa mina lawela iningi isibhamu. Ngaqhubeka ukulwa asebenzayo,” Said Monsour. “I wanika isixuku into ukuthi bafuna ukubona. I wanika isasasa isixuku. That’s why they’re cheering me and they’re booing him. I’m a boxing fan’s boxer.

“Washington was a bit awkward, I was just trying to gauge the height difference and after three rounds tops of gauging the distance between him and I, I felt like I started pressing him, forcing the action, landing the most shots, and tearing his body up. He couldn’t take the body punches, he was running out of gas. He didn’t give the crowd a fight. He didn’t give himself a fight and that’s just a poor way of winning the fight or even getting a draw.”

The eight-round co-main event saw Cairo, Egypt’s Ahmed Elbiali (Manje 11-0, 11 Kos) control the fight from start to finish as he faced Mariano Hilario(Manje 13-4, 5 Kos) in a Yimpi ekukhanyeni sosondonzima. Despite two-way action throughout the entirely of the bout, Elbiali remained more active, pressing forward while Hilario attempted to land counter punches unsuccessfully. Elbiali remains undefeated after the judges scored the match a unanimous decision in his favor.

In the iziqubu ukuvulwa kusihlwa, Michael Hunter (Manje 10-0, 7 Kos) outclassed fellow cruiserweight Jason Douglas (Manje 11-6, 4 Kos) dropping him in the second, third and fourth rounds. The first knockdown came at the end of the second round via a strong right hand. The third round saw a barrage of punches again at the end of the round that sent Douglas to the canvas. Ekugcineni, in the round wesine, Hunter battered Douglas until the bell, dropping him for the fourth time via a strong left hook.
