    That was going to be my pick! I remember sitting down with some guys I used to work with, amped up for Ruddock destroying Tyson (I know it didn't happen, but that was my hope!) and ready to enjoy Nelson destroy this fighter that at the time I knew very little about. I am huge Nelson phan but Fenech took it to him all night long, and by my card every time (at least 10 X's) Fenech wins. great fight bad decision. And while Tyson Ruddock was not a stinker, it paled in my mind with this fight.

    No. Not that far back, I'm sure you was right the first time.;)

    Both fights were at Wembley, so I'm 98% sure it was the same card. Which reminds me.... why is Warren wasting time putting shows there still when london now has the O2 arena down the road from me?:twisted:

    The O2 is the best arena I've been too.:bart

    It hardly overshadowed Morales-Pacquiao

    2 great fights doesnt = overshadowed

    1 great fight followed by a below par fight = overshadowed

    :good

    No, it was just as exciting (more of an infight tho) but obviously less technical skills on display... very good fight but definitely did not overshadow the main event even if you preferred it.
