Dont know if this thread has been done before, it most likely has so apologises. How do you see this one going anyways? the Jeff of the Payakooron fight vs the Morales of the Junior Jones fight. Fenech would obviously play the relentless pressure fighter, and Morales would most likely try to use some of his superior boxing skill. Fenach would obviously draw Erik into a fight for long periods and this would have been one of the all time great fights. I think Fenech's superior workrate would garner him a close but clear UD along the lines of 115-113, can see Erik giving him a lot of trouble but I can see Fenech having the right style to beat him. Opinions?
Fenech was relentless, he wouldn't let up. He wears Morales down and stops him late. Fenech is criminally underated, the way he dominated Azumah Nelson in his 4th weight division the likes of have only been replicated by Pacquiao. He was the first man ever to win titles in 3 divisions while being undefeated and none of these fights were close. He destroyed everyone he met until getting robbed in the Nelson draw took away his heart to fight.
Okay......Fenech because of his workrate, body punches, and Morales never was a good defensive fighter.....Fenech had better defense.....
Fenech won the first fight but that was a competitive bout tbf. don't think Nelson was truly dominated.
I voted Fenech pts but very well could stop him. He's too strong. Re Nelson 1, 117-111 Fenech is about right.
Fenech would take shots getting close early but Morales would get involved in a phone booth war and drop a decision but in a series of three fights you gotta think Morales would win one
At his best, Jeff Fenech was on another level to Erik Morales. At this weight in particular, Fenech would smother Morales and brawl him to a fairly one sided UD as far as scorecards go.
