What The Hell Happened To Fenech?

He should have got the verdict against Azumah,but Nelson was not 100%he had a family bereavement and he was not in top shape ,he put the record straight in the rematch.
Fenech was a guy who relied on a frantic workrate ,and 100% fitness , he had brittle hands ,so allthough he threw tons of punches they were seldom devastating,such types of fighters usually have a short shelf life .imo.

 

I remember reading an interview where he blamed his losses on having sex the night before the fights. :roflatsch

 

Yes he did, I forget what it was.

 

The things Angelo had to do :-(

 

Yeah he rashed up with Fenechitis. It was all over him. :good

 

He must have been innoculated for the second fight ,because he didnt catch it again!:good

 

Malaria he said he had

:rofl:rofl

:rofl

 

You son of a *****, you owe me a new keyboard. I just spit tea all over mine after reading that. :good

 

Dont forget Fenech was a titlist at 21 and that was at bantamweight..I think like mcvey said he was a fighter with a short shelf life, even still he was at the top for most of his 20's.

He most definitely had issues with a party boy lifestyle...Im very good friends with his first wive's neice, who would have been his neice when they were together..the one before Susie. Apparently once he got big he liked to put on parties and go to all the a-list ****, even when in training.
She says her mum, Fenech' sister in law, used to consul his wife about all the persistent rumours about him being like a rat up a drain pipe...she doesnt really know about all that 5 woman a day bull**** but he certainly was unfaithful to his first wife.

 

He claimed he had malaria. I doubt it though, as I've seen what malaria can do to someone.
If he had malaria, he'd barely be able to walk, let alone fight.

 

He didn't blame it on having sex the night before the fight, in his biography DVD he blames it on just having a terrible camp from start to finish which included having sex with anything with a pulse at the time.

Jeff was the first fighter became aware of and got me into the sport.

In my opinion one of the main reasons he retired was because he had TERRIBLE hands. They were always broken after fights and there is classic footage of him taking the gloves off and showing more pain than at any time in the fight.

He was an ATG at cutting the ring off and putting on yet more pressure, his condition was amazing. He won an Aussie title in like his 3rd pro fight and a world title in his 7th from memory.
