Fenech V Nelson 3 RBR

[THE THIRD MAN]

Fenech 68.5kg
Nelson 69kg
This is a super Welterweight fight for these former Featherweight champs!
Azumah enters the ring and looks good for 49 years old, 10 years since the Professor last fought.
Fenech 44 is in the ring and he is cut, good abs. Both guys are fit.

[THE THIRD MAN]

After a biased intro by the ring announcer it's on after 16years!
Round 1 : Slow start by both fighters, tentative in fact, Fenech lands left hooks and a big right hand, Nelson in the corner and fires back with a left.
Fenech looks good and wins the first round

I can't believe this is going to be on Azumah's record.
He's a different man.

Cheers Third man. Can't get out - too sick tonight - can't see the fight at home too poor this week....

Round 2: it's all in slow motion here but they are doing their best, a lot of leaning on the ropes and not much happening in this round, Nelson wanted a 12 rounder and Fenech wanted 8 rounds, they compromised on 10.

Round:3 Unbelievable, this is 1991 in the phone booth again, both guys now going at it!! Nelson lands a big one, Fenech now cautious, he recovers and they are back in the corner again going right at it.

Obviouslu I'm not watching, but do they look like they could box against prospects?

IU hope they don't do too well as they may well return to the ring properly

Old George style? If mundine got a smell of a chance of a fight between him and Fenech; he would be all over him like a spider monkey.

Round:4 Fenech landing the cleaner punches and connects with a huge right hand but the Professor just smiles and says "is that all you've got" I'll give them this much, this fight is for real!

Round:5 Fenech is landing his right again and has done so easily so far, still fighting on the ropes, Fenech is definitely the more aggressive fighter

[THE THIRD MAN]

Round : 6 Nelson lands one right on the button, here we go again back on the ropes, Fenech forces Nelson back to the ropes and Nelson is getting impatient with Fenech. The exchanges are furious and both fighters still have plenty of go left.


Round :7 Nelson lands again with a huge right hand but Fenech turns it around and gets him back on the ropes, this referee is a prick and keeps breaking them up, let them fight you moron!

[THE THIRD MAN]

Round:8 Fenech is resting this round and not doing much, Nelson coming on strong with a couple of good body shots. As i say that Fenech comes again in the corner. Both fighters are blowing hard after 8 rounds but it's a better fight than i thought it would be.

Gotta credit these two, from the sounds of it they put in the work in training camp.
