    rewatching Fenech vs Nelson I made me eager to watch some more fights that took place outside. Any outdoor fights that stand out to you or hold a special place in your memory?

    Been to a few 'Stadium fights', they are terrible for the spectator, but no doubt brilliant for TV.

    But even I would concede I would have been thrilled to have been at the Azteca for the spectacle of the Chavez/Haugen bill, in front of 130,000+.

    Also would of loved to have gone to Luna Park.

    The second fight between Harry Greb and Tommy Gibbons was fought outside in a rain storm.

    That would just add to the drama, if you televised it!
