    Azumah Nelson, then about ten years later Ike Quartey, maybe there was something in the water around this time. Ghana was truly blessed to have these two. Edit: Kotei too.

    Was this in connection with that Tabiti-Dickson card that crapped out on DAZN?

    A good man and a great fighter much respect to Azumah Nelson.
    As an Aussie it makes me proud that a fellow Sydney sider like Jeff Fenech was able to move up in weight after a 2 year lay off and dominate him.

    It gives me great pleasure to see how he dominated and destroyed the great Jeff Fenech in his country in front of his countrymen. BUKOM FIRE.

    The rematch was a good performance from Azumah although Fenech phoned it in due to disappointment from being robbed in the first fight you can’t fault Nelson he did his job but prime for prime Jeff was the better man IMO but that is not a knock on Azumah he is also an ATG.

    I'd rate Fenech higher in the ATG rankings. Fenech did some crazy ****, IBF champion inside 7 fights which I'm pretty sure was the fastest ever at that point in time. 3 weight champion in a very short period of time, whipped a lot of good fighters. I still think Fenech got too cocky, in the sense that he thought he couldn't lose. He became way more reckless in the ring. That day in Vegas ****ed him for good unfortunately.

    Decent fighter. The Fenech trilogy where Fenech went 2-1 against him was the highlight of his career

    Truly great fighters are larger than life characters like Uncle Azumah Nelson. He is such a great man that despite knocking out their local national hero in Australia the Aussies could not help but love him. Even the Thunder from Down Under Fenech ended up loving Azumah Nelson. I have the highest respect for Jeff Fenech because he fought Azumah Nelson twice unlike some other cowardly types who refused to fight him once. We all know who I am referring to the chap he called a girl.

    Nelson destroyed Fenech at Fenech’s peak. Truth is Azumah fought and defeated greater fighters than Fenech such as Salvador Sanchez and Wilfredo Gomez to name a few. When Nelson had malaria Fenech could not win, when Nelson was fully fit he put his lights at home in Australia. However keep living in denial so we can all laugh at you. I shared your comments with Uncle Azumah because as he said even his boy Fenech does not believe your crap.

    Fenech was always reckless in his fighting style he never had Duran’ s defensive skills.
