Washington, Mansour lash out at decision
Neither Gerald Washington (16-0-1, 11 KOs) or Amir Mansour (22-1-1, 16 KOs) was satisfied with the result of their ten round draw in an entertaining heavyweight clash on Tuesday night and both strongly criticized the judges’ scoring afterward.
Amir Mansour: “I knew what it was before I came over here, you know, Al Haymon territory. I knew if I didn’t blow him out, I wasn’t gonna get the decision…I’m actually surprised they gave me the draw…I gave the crowd something that they wanted to see. I gave the crowd excitement. That’s why they’re cheering me and they’re booing him. I’m a boxing fan’s boxer!”
Gerald Washington: “I think it’s a terrible decision. I definitely won the fight. No doubt about it. I won the first four rounds for sure. I rested up a little bit in the middle. The last three or four, he wasn’t even touching me. He was chasing me around. He wasn’t landing any shots at all.”
