ЧТЕНИЕ, Пенсильвания (Март 18, 2017) – In a 12-round heavyweight war that lived up to the hype, Амир Мансур (23-2-1, 16 КО) was able to take a majority decision (114-114, 117-111, 115-113) over Travis Kauffman (31-2, 23 КО) in the main event of Premier Boxing Champions: The Next Round on Bounce from Santander Arena in Reading, Пенсильвания.
Во втором раунде, Kauffman buckled Mansour with a hard right on the inside. The two fighters started round four with bad intentions as they each landed hard shots on the inside. Kauffman switched back and forth between orthodox and southpaw stances in an attempt to befuddle the southpaw Mansour.
By the closing rounds, both fighters began to grind out a hard-fought battle on the inside. In rounds nine and 10, it was Mansour who had more pep in his step, landing several hard blows to close out round 10.
Круглый 12 was a classic heavyweight slugfest, as Kauffman and Mansour stood toe-to-toe landing leather on each other for the whole three-minute period, with Mansour doing just enough to get the win.
Televised coverage opened with Chordale Booker (6-0, 3 КО) Бруклина, New York getting a unanimous decision (59-55, 59-55, 58-56) over Moshea Aleem (4-1-1, 2 КО) Ричмонд, Virginia in a super welterweight bout.

В пятом раунде, Grayton floored Cintron with an overhand left. Later in the round, Grayton nailed Cintron with an unintentional headbutt to the right eye, which opened up the cut that led to the end of the bout. Action was stopped at 2:53 пятом раунде.
Вот то, что бойцы должны были сказать после их приступов:
Трэвис Кауффман
“I got robbed. It’s plain and simple. Это был хороший бой, but I thought I won by three rounds.
“He landed a couple of shots, but I clearly outworked him. I thought I landed more and did enough to get the win.”
AMIR MANSOUR
“They thought I was old and would tire down the stretch, but I am mentally strong.
“I give Travis (Кауфман) кредит. He stood in there with me tonight. But as I waited for the scores, Я знал, что я выиграл бой. These were honorable judges.
“Мне нужно (Deontay) Wilder next. I am 44-years-old. I want my shot. They should give me my shot and try to get me out of the way.”
KERMIT CINTRON
“Я выиграл бой. Then he started to apply pressure and he caught me when I was off balance.
“He kept coming in with his head, and he finally caught me good with it. I was fine and wanted to continue, but the doctor decided to stop the fight.”
DAVID GRAYTON
“Я выиграл этот бой. I think he could have continued.
“I was in control of the fight, but I was in his hometown, and you know how that goes.
CHORDALE BOOKER
“Это был хороший бой. I needed this fight to see where I am. And I wanted to fight another undefeated fighter. It was a step up on national television.
“I give myself a B- for my performance tonight. My movement was good, but I did not sit down on my power enough. It was a good learning experience though. I could not ask for a better platform to perform on.”
MOSHEA ALEEM
“I did not do enough. I waited too long to throw my punches and he outworked me.”
