I watched Fenech-Nelson 1 at the old North Sydney ANZAC club - the place was standing room only - everyone there knew who really won that fight

neither was roy jones after he won the heavyweight title. he had climbed his mountain. he was never the same after that. the subconcious mind is more powerful than the concious one.

Ive watched this one quite a few times over the years and no way did Nelson win.

A lot of money was made on the second fight.all round the promoters and fighters.

i thought jeff won...my mate who watched it on closed circuit in a movie theater(in the usa) said that ppl started throwing drinks and food at the screen when the decision was announced...nuff said...
