Let him face Miller, Washington, Threy Lippe, Wesley Nofire, Shannon Briggs, guys like that.
I've just watched the fight and think he wasn't as bad as many here suggest as he is, but he's clearly not top material, laying on the ground three times against a 40+ year old who's like a head shorter as he is himself.

very disappointing end.

is this dodgy?

I don't know

certainly I thought Haymon's boy Conseugra may have thrown the two fights after Breazeale (Szpilka and Nofire).

Mansour always seemed like the last boxer to retire like that in such an even fight?

but if its a broken jaw....theres nothing much you can do.

Early contender for FOTY,its just a shame about the ending but it did seem 2 massive right hands landed flush on Mansour's jaw,maybe he's not made of championship material like say Ali,Abraham or Burns,no disgrace in that,some boxers are just freaks of nature and have no quit in them

Breazeale showed some massive heart but there's tons to work on

Stop the fight but for whom? At first I thought Mansour won. Bobick and Sean O'Grady had padded fights like that. You'd be back from commercial and they'd say the fights over, and you'd have to ask yourself who won?

Too bad it had to end like it did. Both were gassed out. If Breazale had that much trouble with an old guy much smaller, he will have a lot more of it in the future. Did someone say FOTY?

Fixed? Lmao, that's putting a hell of a lot of faith in breazeale's chin! He almost bit his tongue in half.

Yeah it was a disappointing finish, but it wasn't fixed

Jesuit Priest!
Where is this influx of supposed boxing fans coming from lately?
It's gotten bloody ridiculous. Every time there's an obvious injury that causes a fight to be stopped or a fighter elects to retire in his corner, these folks scream "fix". Or, they bellyache about said fighter(s) being heartless "quitters" & so on.
I suppose these "fans" would have preferred that Mansour got off his stool & both choked on the blood from his split tongue & suffocated on it as it continued to swell. Never mind the mild nuisance of whatever sort of jaw injury that Breazeale's massive uppercuts had done...

C'mon, give both men full credit for giving us such a great scrap. Mansour came close to upsetting the unbeaten former Olympian & Breazeale displayed heart by climbing off the deck & putting his opponent out of commission.

I had Mansour winning but I thought he was getting winded and thus that lead to him fighting with his mouth wide open and we all know that once you get tagged on the jaw and your mouth is wide open your jaw can be broken easily. We saw it when Lopez belted Ortiz.

They probably wrote that as an instant reaction, not knowing what was really going on.

Doesn't make it less stupid. Hey, if you think cintron diving out of the ring against Paul Williams was fixed, more power to you. No fighter takes that kind of punishment on a fixed fight. I bet on mansour, the end was disappointing but clearly legit. 36 stitches in his tongue.

I said the same thing when the fight ended and same thing with the Martinez-Vasquez fight why would Martinez throw a fight he was already losing.

Past that, how in the world could they know Dominic wouldn't get ktfo? Shit is comedy.

Poor guy suffers a broken jaw, quits, and half the viewers have that knee-jerk reaction----A FIX!

Most guys do throw in the towel when they sustain a painful split mandible.

Not everyone is Ali who went 10 rounds against Norton with the break.

Give Mansour some credit. Fights aren't neccesarily fixed just because the guy YOU want to win, fails to.

Or maybe its the underdog was winning and then all sudden he retires and most people wanna believe no way the gay winning can retired. He did without a fix

And maybe some guys just value their health more than winning.

Vitali got all sorts of hell for quitting against Byrd because of a torn shoulder.
Klitschko was easily winning the fight, but his well-being was his priority.
No scent of a fix.

Klitschko showed his grit when he railed about his fight with Lewis being stopped despite suffering a cut that may have been worse than the one Quarry received in his first bout with Ali.

Oh it was definitely a worse cut than the one Quarry suffered against Ali. Probably the worst cut I've ever seen.

I think mansours nearly severed tongue is as bad as a cut can be.

Can't say the first thing that sprung to mind was a fix.
Mansour was expending a hell of a lot of energy and doing well, I actually thought he might gas out the longer it went.
They could rematch this fight.
Breazale got a little exposed to say the least.

Mansour has very crowd pleasing style. Pretty good skills too. I wonder how far he would have gone without all that time spent in prison.

On another night he would probably have won this one. I heard he had flu before the fight and was not in 100% shape.

I hope he will comeback and give us few good scraps before retiring. I would pick him over some top 20 guys like Szpilka and Scott.

That Breazeale guy seems like nothing special.
