    Fascinating fight. Jirov would have a hard time at least initially pinning Nelson down, JN was one awkward, elusive fighter who was never beaten once he reached his prime at Cruiser (retired as a world champ).
    However the relentlessness of Jirov could quite possibly unnerve Nelson once he got the timing and distance down.

    Jirov UD
