    Two warriors. 12 rounds at featherweight. Who and why?

    Jeff Fenech meets his match in Erik Morales, who would prevail over 12 rounds of intense action.

    Azumah Nelson seemed the only one that could match a peak Fenech.

    I am taking Fenech in an upset.

    I wouldn't call it an upset even.

    Wouldn't Fenech have a huge weight advantage?

    Fenech was a solid world champion at 126 and right at home. Beat a very decent underrated guy in Callejas to win the title then defended 3 times to be unbeaten at the weight. He near shut out the experienced Villasana who had drew with the very highly acclaimed Esparragoza the fight before. Fenech was possibly the best he ever was at 126. He was struggling to make Bantam and Jr Feather all the time.
