    A pointless fight I know, but sometimes it's fun to see a top class pro in there against the average fighter. Mustapha to his credit was throwing some decent looking punches in there but folded the moment he got hit.

    I just got through watching it, actually. Quite a change of pace for Nelson, who played the cutie role for the most part. In part this fight showed his versatility, but in larger part I think it just showed the liberties a truly elite fighter is capable of taking against that class of opponent. He could've ended things even sooner if he'd wanted. The right over the top was waiting every time Mustapha threw that uneducated jab. Nelson was too busy playing around to sit down and capitalize. Still, a fun performance.

    He did something similar against Marcos Villasana in the last round:
