The last three or four, he wasn’t even touching me. Unsurprisingly, Washington and Mansour had very different views of the fight: Fans in the arena also thought Mansour won the fight and booed the decision.
Unofficial online fan scoring had Washington winning the first 4 rounds and Mansour sweeping the final 6. With the fight up for grabs the two heavyweights traded hard shots in the 10th and final round that led the judges to rule the fight a 10-round split draw, scoring the bout 97-93 Washington, 96-94 Mansour and 95-95. Gerald Washington (now 16-0-1, 11 KOs) controlled the early action with his length and superior boxing ability but the smaller southpaw Amir Mansour’s (now 22-1-1, 16 KOs) relentless pressure began to break down Washington as he closed the gap by landing hooks to the body and overhands upstairs.
