“I know that many of you are wondering what happened. Around the second round, I got hit with my tongue positioned between my teeth. My mouth-piece is fitted for my upper teeth only. I bit my damn tongue almost completely in half. So then my tongue swelled up so bad, I literally couldn’t breathe, not to mention I was swallowing so much blood. I had been battling a cold, so breathing through my nose wasn’t working. I was suffocating, literally.”

On Sunday Mansour confirmed, after a five hour stay in hospital, that he indeed had a fractured jaw and his tongue needed 36 stitches. Cynthia Saldaña Photographer for Ringside Report was able to capture the shot that did the damage in the 2nd round.
