PHILADELPHIA–Amir Mansour won a 10-round unanimous decision in a much anticipated Heavyweight bout at the sold-out 2300 Arena.
The action was spirited early as the two looked to land heavy shots. In round two, the two clashed heads that opened up a nasty gash around the right eye of Mansour. It seemed that Dawejko could capitalize on the cut as became more agressive and was able to land effective blows. That advantage was short lived as another clash of heads opened a cut on the forehead and left eye of Dawejko.
As the fight played out, Mansour came forward and landed some mostly ineffective blows and he also missed alot but that was enough to win the rounds as Dawejko waited and waited and waited some more to counter Mansour. Those opportunities were few and far between as Mansour mixed up his game between boxing and slugging while Dawejko did not attempt to throw many punches in return.
In the last minute of the fight, Mansour landed the best punch of the fight as he landed a hard left and right that had Dawejko holding on.
