    Even with all the shenanigans and temptations trying to seduce him beautiful woman, Azumah stood strong and knocked out Gomez in his hometown of Puerto Rico to take the belt. What a man and warrior.

    Barry McGuigan or Baroness McGiggle as Azumah Nelson called her was such a girl petrified to face the terrible terror of Azumah Nelson the boxing professor.

    Similar to the way Tank had to handle Issa Cruz as some guys cannot be knocked out and just keep coming so you box them.

    Gave tough guy Mario “Azabache” Martinez a lesson and stopped him in the rematch.

    LOL. In the second fight Nelson was getting a boxing lesson before Martinez broke his hand even one handed Martinez was working him. The first fight was a robbery according to most too.

    Azumah beat him twice end off. 2nd time he stopped him. Though a lot of mutual respect him between them He always said the Mexicans were toughest opponents because they keep coming referencing Martinez and Villasana’s toughness.

    Pffft. Context matters. Armando Castro also "lost" to Khaosai Galaxy. 2nd time you can literally watch Azuhma having his ears boxed off till suddenly it was close and what's available of fight 1 shows me nothing I didn't see in the early rounds.

    McGuigan had just made his first defence against a mandatory, as well as dethroning a great champion in the months prior to this overrated blowout. How would he have had time at this point to be ‘petrified?’

    Unseemly. You can do better than this.

    I hope.

    The first fight Martinez clearly won IMO.

    Azumah Nelson was one of the best. Fine boxer and a great puncher.
