Interesting story

Hope he succeeds but fear he won't !

Mansour is a bad man. Some of his KOs are devastating. It'll be interesting to see how he progresses. Even though he's southpaw, you only have to watch him for about ten seconds to see who his major influence is.

You'd have thought he'd have come up with a better example of someone with a short career than 16-year-pro Oscar de la Hoya though.

He actually is not a southpaw, he just fights out of a southpaw stance. He seems to feel more comfortable throwing overhand rights and doesn't use a right jab as much as he should. Kind of like Michael Moorer was.

But that aside, Deontay Wilder would probably KO Mansour within 2 to 3 rounds.

His story reminds me a little of Ricky Womack, albeit Womack had an outstanding amateur career prior to running into trouble with the police.

I hope Mansour's story has a happier ending than Womack's did.
