Thanks for appreciating Azumah as a great fighter

In the eyes of us Ghanaians there are only 2 real boxing nations. 🇲🇽and 🇬🇭. Massive love from Ghana.

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@charlesanim-mensah359as a Mexican it was an honor having Azuma Nelson as Salvador Sanchez’s last ever opponent 🇲🇽 🇬🇭💚

Azumah Nelson un gran humano con una gran calidad deportiva 🫡🤝

I don't know Mario. Google 'Ring Magazine Best I Faced Azumah Nelson' and have a read. You may change your view once you do. Whilst he does not say anything disrespectful about Sanchez he refuses to give any credit, it's like Salvador Sanchez did not exist.

@@marknorris1381 He was right there with a bonafide HOF great in the the 15th rd in only his 14th or 15th fight. He doesn't have exactly a great reason to have been very impressed i think.

@@mariosanchez8236 I don't think so. Other reasons I think. But anyway, we all have our opinions. All the best.

@@marknorris1381 We certainly do, yes. Thanks for sharing yours in a way not often seen in comment sections when opinions differ. Respect is always nice to see. Outta curiosity, when going into the last round of the Sanchez vs Nelson fight, do you see Sanchez as being clearly far ahead, or clearly winning?

@@mariosanchez8236 Nelson had moments but Sanchez dominated the action going forward and countering.and Sanchez fights every second of every round.and Nelson was a journey man who are always fight fit.and Sanchez was a a disadvantage too.he just to finished camp for Mario Miranda who was like 22/0with 20kos or something like that he was tearing through the division anyways.plus the fact nelson was an unknown Sanchez may have looked past him or been complacent .so I don't like that two week theory either

Nelson was actually winning before the ko

Opino lo mismo que tú,en otras peleas se veía más lento

@@seetsamolapo5600 Nope!!!! Get it together.

Tu no duras 15 rounds vs Sal Sánchez si no traes una condición física superlativa! Además allí está el vídeo, Nelson tiene físico de un físico culturista. Otra cosa a favor de Nelson era que traía un escudo de invencibilidad y por tanto el trapío, combatividad que demostró ante Sánchez. El Azumah Nelson de esa noche noquea a Wilfredo Gómez en 4 rounds! Y no es verdad que Nelson tenía 17 años en esa pelea 😂 como por allí leí un comentario (Azumah nació en septiembre 19 de 1958). Chavita Sánchez (RIP) nació el 26 de enero de 1959. Una cosa son las opiniones y otra cosa son los hechos!!! Un saludo a Santiago Tianguistenco y sus pueblos aledaños, Xalatlaco, Ocoyoacac, etc. Toluca también ❤️

No was not!!!!!

Not according to his excuses to why he lost this fight, it didn't seem to me like he wasn't prepared to fight and the mouthpiece crap, if someone hits you so many times that you bounce back, you have to get some blood from somewhere.

Un buen ser humano 🤝

Would of beaten him if he fully prepared.

Shame he got KO'ed then.

Going into the 15th round Nelson was ahead on only one card. Official Judging Castellano 135 - 131 Reid 132 - 133 Aidala 134 - 131 Two Judges had Sanchez ahead. If Nelson went the distance, after the fifteen round, Sanchez would have won a unanimous decision with a two point round from Judge Reid.

He's not ashamed. He's saying the truth. He was given only two weeks notice. But I do believe Sal Sanchez would have beaten him again, because Sal was a technical fighter with lots of movement and a hard punch. And the next time around just as Azumah would be ready, Sal Sanchez would have been way more prepared.

Nelson had more than one chance to win a second fight

And how would you know??

Nobody beats Azumah twice ....get it

@@odenehod.k4587 Azumah would NOT beat Sanchez in any rematch.

@@MrWeliz Seems you don't know Azumah really well

You are right, Danny Lopez was one thought fighter with a punch and Sanchez took him apart on the first fight and on the rematch.

Lopez was no Nelson. Styles made fights and Lopez used to eat a lot of punches.

Nelson was actually winning before he the ko

Noooo, because the second fight, Salvador knew the style fighter , remember Salvador was a great boxing, and smart inside the ring

@@seetsamolapo5600 in your wildest dreams! Sánchez was too smart at his short age! He let Nelson punch himself out. He knocked Nelson out (and most of his KO’s for that matter!) without even trying! He was that talented!!!!

Did you miss the part where Azumah said he was not ready that night which is why he yearned for a rematch ? Two weeks notices and a fugged up amateur cut mouth piece could easily cut you and promote getting your jaw broken.

Yes I've seen that fight more than 20 times, in the last 30 seconds of the 4th round Salvador got caught with a very powerful left hook to the body that would certainly put anyone out, but Salvador took it like nothing. In the next 10 seconds Salvador caught Nelson with a right cross that made Nelson's legs shake little bit. It's my favorite fight ever.

@@fdkfskfkvmk441254741 , I was sitting pretty close during their first Nelson v. Villasana fight. Believe me that fight would've ended by knockout but Villasana didn't possess the courage to defy Nelson. Nelson was a very strong and hard puncher. Be well MXNR.

Damned iv been eating fufu but i have no power. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 now seriously power is a mental thing

He didn't make any excuses. He admitted he got hit and his legs were wobbly and the fight was stopped. He never said, "the fight got stopped b/c my mouthpiece was defective." Seriously.

@@jakeichordAzuma he said that he fell down "Because I was tired". He went down because he was getting his ass kicked. "The referee saw that I was tired". The referee saw that you were taking a righteous beating. Too bad for you Azuma.Patrick 777 777 I agree with you.

I know a thing that seems simple to the non boxer such as a mouthpiece cut to fit is no big deal but it is, hard to breathe when youre already tired. Fighting a guy like Sal, everything has to be 110%, SS was a beast. I dont see it as excuses, he was merely giving facts and insight. For 2 weeks notice, he went almost 15 rds lol, like thats so easy to do .... SF

@@peacethroughstrength172 plain and simple it's excuses. And he wouldn't give Sanchez any credit in his 'best I faced' interview, not one word, and Sanchez died when Sanchez was 23. He never had a full life like Nelson has, cut way short. Maybe Nelson should think about that and the 40 odd years he's outlived Sanchez who was robbed of a life and future through that accident. Not too hard to give the deceased champ credit, but no it seems it is too hard for Nelson. Uncool in my view considering the lives of the two men and their outcomes, the life Nelson has had and the life that Sanchez didn't have.

He did just have two weeks notice,to prepare.

@@arthurvillarreal2650 Sanchez only had two weeks to prepare for Nelson as well. Too many excuses for Nelson.
