Loved all of the Professors fights, from Sanchez, Villasana, Gomez, Fenech, Azabache, Whitaker, Gabe Ruelas , Leija, all such wonderful fights. Azuhmah Nelson was without a doubt one of the greats.

@cyril laymanYeah Sanchez is rightly revered as one of the top 5 featherweights of all time.But Azumah gave him absolute hell and in only his 14th fight.

He dropped a couple of notchess in greatness, when he started to give excuses and not admit that he was well and clearly beaten by sanchez. Bad loser, He may tell all those stories about how great he was , but he will always have the nightmare that he was legitimate beaten by one who was much greater than him.

All-time great who proved himself in the rematch here, but he should just admit he lost the first fight... I had it 10-2 or if I'm looking for Nelson' rounds, 9-3... but a draw............are you kidding me! That has to be taken into consideration as Jef Fenech was never again Jeff Fenech... and at very least he should've been history's first *undefeated* four weight class champion......he earned that. How good was he? Consider this---when he was ranked as a junior lightweight for the first Nelson fight, Villasana was a featherweight champ, Zaragoza was a junior-featherweight champ, and Greg Richardson was a 118, bantamweight champion. Fenech had already beat all three... not bad. But again, Nelson proved the matter with Fenech in rematch as he usually did.

Sad, he never gave Sanchez the due credit, always saying that he had no preparation for that fight, the truth is he was good but Sanchez was better and thats it

@amck72 2 жыл бұрын

Of course he gave Sanchez credit. He said back then Sanchez was a great champion and the only one willing to give him a rematch. Both Azumah and Sanchez were ahead of their time.

Really ? Like when he knocked out Ruelas when Nelson was 37 years old and Leija was he was 38 then went a split decision with Hernandez at 39 ? 🙄
