    On that night, Fenech was much busier than the under the weather, Nelson. But, a lot of what Fenech landed was garbage that had little to no effect on Nelson. I have no problem with someone scoring it for Fenech, but, a draw was not really out of the question. They had a rematch to determine whether or not Fenech deserved the title. And, he got destroyed. I don't believe there was a rematch clause. Therefore, Nelson had no obligation to give Fenech another crack at the title. But, Nelson WANTED to show who the better man was. And, his victory in the rematch removed any doubt.

    In Fenech’s backyard no less.
