Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2015-05-08, fight not particularly exciting between Amir Mansour and Joey Dawejko: it gets two stars.The 42-year-old Amir Mansour (18 years older than Dawejko) entered this fight with a professional boxing record of 21-1-0 (16 KOs=76%) and he is ranked as the No.27 heavyweight in the world. He fought twice last year losing to Steve Cunningham (one of the best boxing fights of 2014, Mansour vs Cunningham) but then he came back to win beating Fred Kassi (=Mansour vs Kassi).
His opponent, Joey Dawejko, has an official record of 14-3-2 (7 knockouts) and he entered as the No.47 in the same weight class. He suffered his last loss in 2013, against Charles Martin, but since then he has won six consecutive fights defeating Enobong Umohette in his last bout. Mansour vs Dawejko is valid for the vacant USA Pennsylvania State heavyweight title. Watch the video and rate this fight!

Very good matchup!
Mansour’s got some good skills, but I don’t like his stance and footwork. Especially his right foot in front. Instead of pointing toward his opponent, it is parallel to his other foot. With that stance he can throw jabs and right hooks with no problem (which is what he does all the time), he doesn’t give his opponent a lot of targets to hit… but his backhand becomes less powerful and he is totally off balance when he’s done throwing combinations. Also, Teddy seems to be concerned with Mansour’s weight loss, but age might be the issue.
Good fight indeed.
Dawejko did way better than I guess by looking at him. To bad he doesn’t have Mansour’s ambition.
Mansour, even though up[ and coming, seems to be a good gate keeper.
glad my man mansour won the young guy only tried conter puches most of the time. when we watch this fight we can thing that he is mansour the 24 years old guy and dawejko the 42 years old guy. i still think mansour got robbed against cumminghan because he dropped him 3 times and cummingham dropped him one or 2 times
