    So, does indomitable Aussie spirit prevail, or is Hamed just too good?
    Featherweight, 12 rounds.

    Unless Hamed takes him out early, which he never did at world level, he'd get absolutely battered once Jeff got going.

    At Featherweight I think Fenech's hands let him down.


    A less damaged Fenech would fancy his chances with Naseem at both 118 and 122.

    I think Hamed could stop him early, he had the power for sure. But I'll say, if he doesn't get him out then he risks losing a decision to Fenech.

    Fenech would beat him up. Take him to deep waters and drown him.

    I think you are over looking the fact that Hamed could move very quickly and he isn't going to stand in front of Jeff.
    Mix in the weird angles and one punch power and that's bad for Jeff.

    Let me make it clear, I'm no Hamed fan but I can't see the classless little bully losing here.
    Have a look at the Barrera fight. Hamed wasn't out worked or out hustled, he was out boxed. Marco was a throwback. He feinted like a guy from the 40's and Hamed bought it every time. Because he relied on his reflexes and against all Boxing teaching, leaned away and upright rather than getting inside a punch, Barrera feinted him on to heels time and again then pinged him.
    Fenech doesn't have that artfulness. He's just going to try and walk Hamed down. He loved that.
    A painful, wide, decision for Yorkshire's most disagreeable export.
