    As great as Azumah Nelson was at 126 / 130 pounds, he looked his age of 49 against an old foe in Jeff Fenech at age 44 this year... Nelson spent too much time on the ropes, while Fenech applied the pressure... Not a great fight at all, but not bad, either.....:hey

    A complete bull**** fight, should have no impact on either fighters legacy.

    Though it was actually an alright fight for their age, at least for the first 8 rounds.

    Did you catch the fight before it between Gairy St Clair and Willie Kickett?

    Fight of the night easily that one.

    How you score it kona?

    I am yet to watch it again but at the time, in a loub pub I thought St Clair won it. Though it was one of those fights where many rounds were scored on depending what you liked.

    I wasnt suprised when Kickett's arm was raised but when I found out the scores later on, which were unanimous and wide in his favour, I was shocked.

    I respect them for coming into the fight in pretty good shape all things considered, but no way should it count for anything.

    Fenech handled 154 better than Nelson did. Fenech looked solid / okay, while Nelson had "Love Handles.":verysad
