    Fenech and Tyson became friend because they fought on the same cards under Don King. Nelson Fenech 1 and 2 were on the Ruddock undercards I believe.
    Fenech was a horrible trainer for Tyson.

    Nelson V Fenech II took place in Australia but their first bout was on the Tyson V Ruddock card.

    He made Snowell & Bright seem like genius trainers in comparison, what with his awful arm-punching advice. :verysad

    To be fair to Jeff it wasn't really his fault. Tyson completely didn't give a **** by that point.

    Tyson could've had Angelo Dundee,Manny Steward,Kevin Rooney and Jack Blackburn in his corner against McBride and it wouldn't have made a whit of difference. He didn't want to be there and didn't care if he won or loss. No trainer can do anything with fighter with that mind set.
