I'll be rooting big time for Joey.

Me too.

[The Great John L]

We’re getting close. Maybe after tomorrow night we’ll get to see Joeys name in an alphabet top 15 so he can get a shot.

[Baby Face Finster]

I'll be rooting big time for Joey.

Me too.

X3. Go get him Joey.

[handsofstone]

Agreed ,when I noticed this fight last week I recognised Dawejko's name from here

I'll be rooting for you Joey all the way over here in Scotland

I saw the Matin fight in Hollywood. I thought Joey gave a good account of himself I never thought he was hurt by Martin in the fight. If this guy would have come in in better shape I think he could have made it real interesting against a guy who might be fighting for a title in the near future.

That's some beard Joey's rocking!

ESPN2 telecast should be starting soon.

It's supposed to begin at 9 PM Eastern time.

[Dennis]

Good fight thru the first 5 rounds.

[Freedom2013]

Dawejko has held his own through 6 rounds, I have it 3 rounds each.

[Dennis]

Joey is not active enough. He's losing some rounds that he would win if he threw 5 or 10 more punches in the round.

[diddy]

Mansour way ahead on my card.

[Dennis]

Joey gave away the 8th & 9th. Fight hasn't been scintillating in the second half of the fight.

[rmz]

Joey gave away the fight in the last 3 rounds. Sad.

[Freedom2013]

I scored it 97-93 for Mansour.

I had Dawejko up 3 rounds to 2 after 5, but he was too inactive in the second half of the fight.

[Dennis]

I had it 97-93 Mansour. Judges had it right.

[diddy]

He got tired. His conditioning is just not good enough. Went into survival mode last half of fight.

[hurricanemitch14]

Was shot by rd 7........mansour won last 4 rds easy

[crusader]

Yep, Joey tired down the stretch and didn't have the energy to sustain the solid work he did in the first half.

[Dennis]

Yes conditioning definitely played a big role in the outcome of the fight as it often does

[reggaereggae]

Right. Joey is very talented and I wanted him to win, but his conditioning is very disappointing.

Sorry, but fat fighters don't make it; they always underperfom

[handsofstone]

Awful fight,I had Mansour winning 99-91,apart from the horrific cuts and Amir nearly touching down in the 4th,nothing happened,both guys work rate was terrible but at least it looked as if Mansour was trying to make something happen

I was disappointed in Dawejko,I was rooting for him but his condition wasn't great and I'd be surprised if he threw 100 punches the whole fight,neither guy really seemed willing to take the fight by the scruff of the neck and it made for a horrible, horrible fight

[Bobbyptsd]

I like how Atlas and Tessitore spent ten rounds trying to make it sound like Frazier/Ali on a lower level, because Atlas had made such a big deal beforehand of what an action fight it was going to be.

Aside from that, yeah, I also had Mansour winning comfortably. As has been mentioned, Dawejko's conditioning is not really good enough at any higher level.

I use to defend Atlas because I find his analogies to be humorous.

But anyone who said, "This should be a very exciting fight," regarding the 14(5)-3-1 vs 24(8)-6-3 first fight, can NOT be taken seriously to tell the truth about anything.
