    I think people are confusing Sellars-Cat with Sellars-Nelson

    Sellars-Cat was something else but you don't get Nelson fights like that.

    Are you serious!?!?!! :roll: Nelson was getting OWNED until he hit Sellers with that hail mary and his eye swelled up like a giant bee sting.

    His best fight was against Alexander Petkovic.Johnny i think may have been the underdog in that bout.Everyone was expecting the then unbeaten Petkovic to KO him at home.Johnny went to his home turf and put on a clinic with what should have been a wide UD.Naturally with german scoring it was a majority decision.

    exactly it was dreadful performance by both fighters, just because Nelson got knocked down and then stopped Sellars doesnt mean it was a good fight, I think it took place in Denmark? :huh

    the SKY commentary (if my memory serves me) didnt want to give the rounds to either boxer as neither was doing anything

    Nelson basically spoiled the fight.He wasnt doing much and was very defensive.I think he was more than relieved when he landed on the button as Sellars staggered him quite a few times in the right.
