Fenech V Nelson 3 Tuesday June 24th!

[ICB]

I did manage to download a few Fenech fights even a rare one where he first won a world title, his style was as exciting as any boxer who ever laced em up, he did deserve the decision in the 1st fight against Nelson no question, but Nelson was suffering from an illness at the time wasn't he ?? whatever the case Nelson proved the doubters wrong in the rematch and amazingly it was named Ring Magazine Upset Of The Year ?? did people at the time really give Nelson no chance in the rematch ?? was it really that much of a major upset ?? As i said in the other thread im not sure which fight with Nelson ruined Fenech the 1st or the 2nd, but it doesn't really matter what fight it was because Fenech never produced any great performance's after that and his career was basically over.

[THE THIRD MAN]

I think he underestimated Nelson in the 2nd fight and he did not handle the Drawn decision in the first fight very well. One flaw with Fenech was his temperament, he never recovered from the KO and his hands were a mess as well. He had a long lay off before the Grove fight and although winning this fight he got nailed and that was the end of his career. Holiday then made a mess of him a couple of years later.
