    Nelson would be a tough opponent for Vicente in my view......

    Who and Why ?

    I like Saldivar by decision. Mainly because of his shorter, straighter, more precise punches and I don't think Nelson would overpower him. To me, Nelson was a good, but not great technician who also had a good punch and tremendous strength and endurance. I don't quite 'get' the nickname 'The Professor' for him.

    Great fight between two of my favorites. I like Azumah in a tough hard fought decision.
