Mansour recorded a TKO against Kelvin Price in New Jersey.
Rather than scoring the early knockout, a feat that he has grown used to, Mansour treated Price like a stubborn stump that required several hundred whacks before eventually going down. First loss
Mansour cut Cunningham above the left eye with a short right hook in the 2nd round.
In the 5th round, Mansour knocked down Cunningham with a double right hook, then knocked him down a second time with a series of shots. Cunningham benefited from some very ponderous officiating by referee Smoger who counted very slowly then spent several seconds checking Cunningham after both counts, with the bell sounding to end the round after the second count.
Mansour would swing wildly for the rest of the fight and Cunningham eventually made Mansour touch down with his gloves after a series of clean blows in the 10th and final round.
The scores were 97-90 and 95-92 twice, all for Cunningham. After losing the fight, Mansour immediately spoke to the press and instead of complaining about the judgement, he talked about his opponent"s (Cunningham) young daughter who needed a heart transplant. As a result of the publicity, more than $20,000 was donated to a special fund for Cunningham"s daughter.
