Yes it wasn't nowhere near a draw your right, but i heard Azumah Nelson was ill and had malaria or something. And he faded down the stretch, which was very strange considering Azumah Nelson always had good conditioning.
Whatever it was Azumah Nelson certainly wasn't 100 percent, and i think he fought one of his best fights in the rematch. He was alot better in the rematch, but also Jeff Fenech had been affected mentally from the 1st fight. And he was never the same.

Whatever the reason, Nelson was poor in that first fight but the rematch he was awesome and convincingly beat Fenech in his own back yard and if he had that form in the first fight he would have beaten Fenech there too.
Azumah was also ill for the Whitaker fight and he desperately wanted a rematch which he was never allowed to have.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

I had Fenech losing the first 3 Rounds, if you watch closely Fenech lands a thunderous right hand in round 3 and Nelson did not fully recover changing the fight completely. It was a great fight, i had Fenech winning 117-111 amazing decision! Nelson in the 2nd fight caught a mentally drained Fenech and won by KO. Nelson often had nights where he wasn't always at his best.
