Fenech Decisions Nelson
The fight was not televised in the U.S., but reports indicate it was a predictably sluggish affair. Fenech was more active over the first eight rounds and then - sensing he had the fight won on points - fought conservatively over the final two frames. Fenech's strategy wasn't popular with the crowd but it worked as the judges scored the fight 96-94, 96-94 and 95-95.
Their 1991 meeting ended in a controversial draw and the rematch, in 1992, was won by Nelson via eighth round TKO. The series is now tied at 1-1-1. Does that mean they've got to fight again? Let's hope not.
