Fenech V Nelson 3 RBR

[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!

[Salty]

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.

Spider Monkey.....Beautiful simile!

haha i tend to have a way with words

[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.

Whats your scorecard mate ??

[THE THIRD MAN]

Round :9 Fenech is ahead after 8 rounds and now they are going at it again,
Nelson using all of his skills to keep Fenech at arms length, Nelson showboating? Fenech is now auditioning for dancing with the stars now, he doesn't want to get hit again. They are both looking to go 10 rounds.

[THE THIRD MAN]

Nelson looks stuffed in the corner!
Round 10 Fenech's hands are shot, he hasn't landed a punch for two rounds, he keeps dancing around like Fred Astaire, his hands are gone and so is Fenech he got nailed big time, he is wobbly. he will make it to the end but it may not be enough to get the decision.

I have it 96-94 Fenech

Judges have it 96-94 96-94 95-95 Fenech wins

[donnydarkoIRL]

Quite disappointed for Azumah.


Was it a good fight?
In entertainment terms?

[THE THIRD MAN]

Fenech admits his ribs may be broken which explains the dancing!

[Salty]

I'm suprised that 44 and 49 yo's were able to fight for 10 rounds and there was no knockdowns. Fenech finally gets his win, but for what point?

[ICB]

A great fighter like Nelson doesn't deserve 6 losses, Nelson shouldn't of fought Leija in there 4th fight let alone fighting Fenech at 49. Nelson at his peak destroyed great fighters like Wilfredo Gomez such a shame to see the legend with 6 losses.

Yeah who knows? Maybe he now has a win against Nelson on his record is enough and his mind is eased by that.

[CutMeMick]

I feel like I'm 11/12 allover again...

Feels like 1991/92.


On a more serious note really sad to see this fight go through.
There was really no need for this.

[No Contest]

Azumah let him win because he knew it had been eating up Fenech his whole life. I just hope Azumah got paid good.

[Kenneth B]

I guess thats why Azumah wanted a 12 rounder. But this fight should never have been made
