I have watched this a few times and i still can't believe they gave Nelson a draw Nelson won first 2 rounds if i remember right then Nelson fought in the corner for almost entire round for about 3 rounds on the trot if i can remember then he looked really tired and his punches looked sloppy with no power and i thought after about 5th round Fenech dominated and won pretty much every single round quite easily imo.
Long time Professor Fan here But He stunk it up In the 1st.Listless and was trying the "rope myself dope".He shouldnt have even left the corner that night because he was staying there all night anyway. Fenech got Jobbed.
Later said He had Malaria after effects..........Good for both they went to Immediate rematch Sorry Jeff..respect but Rematch was great ;D
"The War In The Corner" as I like to call it, I had Fenech winning by about 3-4 rounds. That was a great fight tho. A few of those rounds they just went toe to toe in the corner the whole round , neither would back down.
I could see how a judge could be blocked by one of the fighter and that might have effected the score.
Thats got to be the longest time fought in one corner in history of boxing ;DQuote:

I've never liked Fenech. Seeing him get knocked out in front of his own people is a great joyQuote:

I didn't like Fenech either but i liked his fighting style but Azumah Nelson is one of my favorite fighters of all time.
I do like Jeff Fenech :)
loved his style and went to aus this year and met him which was good.
as for Nelson being better - he was a natural feather/super feather (he even won commenwealth gold at feather in 1978)_ Fenech was at his best at bantam and super bantam , so its unfair to judge him on these performances againest a great fighter in Azumah .
is me or would you guys liked to have seen Jeff againest Mcguigan ?
Why do so many people dislike Fenech?
Good fighter and seemed a decent enough sort in the few intervies I have seen/read
I heard he is a thug outside the ring but like i said i love his boxing style very exciting to watch.Quote:
