Consider this a public service, compliments of the Hall of Fame promoter Russell Peltz.
Boxers, listen up.
Do the right thing, and get yourself an A grade mouth guard, fitted by a pro, before your next bout.

Amir Mansour moving forward will heed the advice. The 43 year old heavyweight couldn’t continue after round five of his PBC on Fox bout Saturday night, because he was feeling the effects of a fractured jaw, and a ripped tongue which required stitches inside and outside his mouth.
Whoah…Trainwreck inside his mouth…maybe that affected him and his stamina? What happened?
“Because he couldn’t breathe right and was swallowing blood when he ripped his tongue in the second round,” Peltz told me, “when he bit it through his cheap-ass mouthpiece which he had no business using.”
From the mouth of one who has earned the right to dispense advice. File this under the: Save a few bucks now, pay later category.
