Azuma Nelson is the Greatest of all Time in the Featherweight Division as Mohammed Ali for Heavyweight Division. No one in the World has ever reigned the Featherweight Division. He is the Greatest of all Time in Featherweight Division. Nobody can't take that from the PROFESSOR AZUMA NELSON.
@luispaz2381 Yeah, Salvador Sanchez carried Nelson the whole fight until he ran out of excuses not to knock Nelson out. Salvador Sanchez totally outclassed Azuma Nelson in every way.
@@smokey8972 he sure did but he was extremely green at that point taking the fight on short notice and showed the world that one of the greatest featherweights of all times was in fact vulnerable.
@@smokey8972 he was only 13 fights deep into his career and not a single one of them was world class level, yet he still tested Sanchez more than any other fighter ever did.
Jim fought like a warrior…..Azumah was way too much superior in power punching, Jim could’ve try to boxed from the distance, but was kind of hard for him Really a good fight Thanks for sharing
Great fight. Nelson was a great fighter and one of my favourites, but what an effort by McDonnell. Definitely one of the top 5 bravest losing efforts I have ever seen. Probably should have been stopped a bit sooner, but for his courage, he deserved to go the distance.
Subriel Matias walk fwd, gloves up, and swinging for the fences just wanting blood reminds me of Azumah. Not the most scientific and artistic but exciting and entertaining...great champ 🥊🥊
I swear this guy found my teenage vhs boxing collection. I taped everything on free tv. Dad was too tight to get Sky which really fucked me up for boxing not long after this.
love it. when it comes to sports, i feel boxers are the most down to earth, fan friendly athletes there are. i hear so many testimonies of the public just doing normal everyday things with them like working out with them or whatever. you never really hear that with other kinds of athletes.
Think a lot of people were expecting Jim to go the very same way As Pat Cowdell did but boy were they wrong. Nelson would later go on to say that Jim was the fighter that surprised him the most.
@BestCanKeanRob2 remember Azumah took the fight 2 week to the fight and was leading on ALL the score cards of the judges by the time of stoppage in the 15 the round
@BestCanKeanRob2 again, Azumah was a naive young fighter whiles sanchez was in his prime; even then, Azumah was ahead on all cards prior to the stoppage in the last round
@BestCanKeanRob2 hate will not make you feel better, no wonder the greatest boxers from the uk are africans, fuck you mean if you dont know nothing about boxing dont come here and talk shit, who will take a fight under 2 weeks notice with a greatest boxer who ever existed and win, and at that time it was fucking 15 rounds, how many of boxers today are able to go 15 rounds?
Perdió porque se confío y pagó caro su confianza. 12 debió salir a amarrar, moverse y pasara el round y ganaba. Pero su osadía...lo llevó a la derrota.
Fought with a technician right there. U had too much than u could chew son. Pure injections administered to the underdog. Good bravery Jim, but better luck next time kid 🧒
DESPITE RECEIVING ALL THE HEADBUTTS IN EVERY ROUND, DESPITE ALL THE HITTING AND HOLDING IN EVERY ROUND DESPITE ALL THE SHOULDERS IN THE FACE IN EVERY ROUND THE BEST FIGHTER STILL WON.
Azumah Nelson, master piece. He deliberately had Jim do all the work till he got extremely exhausted, then knock the blood cloth out of the boy. Well done Jim, but know your levels next trip. Better luck in your reincarnation son😂😂😂
I wonder why the trainers of Jim didn't see that Azumah was a tactician on the stage. They shouldn't have advised Jim to adopt Jeff Fenech's style of pushing Azumah to the corners of the rope. It invariably spelt the doom of many challengers in the ring.
Gutsy effort by McDonnell but the idea that Nelson was behind going into the final round, as the post-fight interviewer suggested to him at the end I don't get it. Nelson was very obviously ahead, even if one of the (blind) judges had McDonnell up by FOUR points, which should have been grounds to get that guy off judging world title fights in the future. In reality McDonnell was tiring badly in the 11th when his right eye completely closed and it should have been stopped by the ringside doctor. Allowing a fighter who was already fatigued, obviously behind on points, had been dropped and hurt earlier and who could no longer see out of one eye to go back in against a class champion and notorious puncher like Azumah was ridiculous. Could easily have ended up badly injured. In fact McDonnell would get spectacurly knocked out by non-puncher Kenny Vice in his very next contest, showing the damage that got inflicted on him late in this fight.
@kc1973able I take it you can prove that statement? Barry McGuigan didn't run away from Nelson. Whether he would've beaten Azumah Nelson is another story..
Buen boxeador sal Sánchez mucho megor pero se adelantó que bueno que el ganes supo conservar buen tiempo el título y darle una lección de boxea a wilfredo Gómez
yup. although boxrec shows he would have won on two out of three cards but the fact is, yes McDonnell put up a hell of a scrap no doubt about that but no judge should have had him winning period. especially McDonnell up 106-102. the other two judges had it exactly the opposite, 106-102 for Nelson at the time of the KO. those are more like the real score imo. so yeah nelson could not afford to risk a judges decision
To all the Salvatore Sanchez suck-up fans out there. Nelson and Sanchez were months apart in age, but to compare a fighter in the amateur ranks to a hardened professional is laughable. If Nelson had trained for a 15 round fight, that fight would have been considerably different. If Nelson was given enough time to prepare, that fight might have had different ending. If Nelson had been afforded a year or two of seasoning, that fight would have been different. But the real clincher in this whole debate is the fact that Azumah fought exactly (25) days before he fought Sanchez. He went six rounds. Had he been fresh, I believe he would have given Sanchez a drubbing. Keep in mind that despite all these obstacles and impediments, Nelson was leading on one of the cards. Given proper time to prepare, despite Sanchez's greatness, I firmly believe he would walk right through him.
If, if, if, if. If doesn't win fights. IF you rewatch that fight you will see that Sal only fought as hard as he needed to. He could have finished Nelson much sooner IF he had wanted to. Nelson was a great fighter. He would have been even greater IF he could have beaten Sal. He didn't even come close.
Titusglover your a berk Nelson took jm lightly eye injury was main factor in stoppage couldn't see punches coming with out that like to have seen how would have won on points if jm nelson would have destroyed him in a rematch
jeez can't believe i heard a Scotsman commenting say Jim is the hero tonight - such bs...this is boxing my friend...u win by strategy. Azumah bid his time, he knew Jim had a reach advantage, was far younger and energetic. strategy;simple let the younger guy wear himself out. block all his power punches. from round 9 plus, unleash power punches further wear him out. the coup d'grace appears at round last round. Azumah is the hero...the commentary showed lots of bias in favour of Jim. the legend Azumah Nelson wins against the bias home odds.
Jim was quite illusive. Throw one two jabs and runs around so it frustrated Azumah Nelson. But Jim cannot stand tow to tow, pound for pound with Azumah Nelson who was a heavier puncher. He tried tow to tow and that was his mistake. Azumah out powered and outpunched him when it matters the most.
Azumah Nelson was devastating the man who buried Pat Cowdell thirty five years ago in Birmingham. Jimmy McDonnell might be brave but he had no chance and the last round in London proved it.
The Great Azumah Nelson could've take him out in 1st round, but not good for business, reasons Greatest gave Jimmy more runs 😉 known Azumah Nelson for time sharing the same street 😅, you don't mess with his brother's, because you aren't going to win 🤣🤣👍😎
Azumah the best in his division and one of the best in all time
Jeff Fenech would disagree
Azuma Nelson is the Greatest of all Time in the Featherweight Division as Mohammed Ali for Heavyweight Division.
No one in the World has ever reigned the Featherweight Division.
He is the Greatest of all Time in Featherweight Division.
Nobody can't take that from the PROFESSOR AZUMA NELSON.
He got beat by the best but this man was still a absolute monster
Salvador lo noqueo no te olvides
Only a better boxer could and that was Salvador Sanchez.
@luispaz2381 Yeah, Salvador Sanchez carried Nelson the whole fight until he ran out of excuses not to knock Nelson out. Salvador Sanchez totally outclassed Azuma Nelson in every way.
Wow wonderful he is indeed the most greatest man of the Mach ❤❤❤
in fact Nelson has taken Ghana to all corners of the world in terms of sports. what a great professor ..
yes sir. i love azumah nelson, one of my top 5 favorites of all times!
He was an all time great, no doubt about that.

Jim fought like a warrior…..Azumah was way too much superior in power punching, Jim could’ve try to boxed from the distance, but was kind of hard for him
Really a good fight
Thanks for sharing
After he got dropped the first time his corner should have thrown that towel in dude was way game too got to give em that
Who else paid attention to the fact that the commentators kept praising the loser thinking he didn’t deserve to be whipped?
Am was really surprised, too biased but I understand
Newbon was a wanker.
At a point in time, they wanted someone who could beat Nelson o. These white!!!
I think it shows how great Nelson was. They expected him to beat Jim mor than that.
Typical English as biased as they come
I'm still watching azuma Nelson fight because is fun to watch..
The best fun is watching Sanchez beat him senseless.
No wonder he was dressed like a tiger.... Nelson is a legend..
Gave it everything did Jim, 110 percent. A valiant effort against a great fighter.
Great fight. Nelson was a great fighter and one of my favourites, but what an effort by McDonnell. Definitely one of the top 5 bravest losing efforts I have ever seen.
Probably should have been stopped a bit sooner, but for his courage, he deserved to go the distance.

Well he done more than McGuigan he didn’t even get in the ring with him.
@johncohen222 McDonnell was a brave fighter.. unfortunately Nelson was just too good on the night..
Remember watching this in the pub with my mates . Plucky effort by McDonnell , Nelson was a class above .
Azuma Nelson was fantastic, unfortunately for him there will always be someone above the great Salvador Sánchez
He fought on 2 weeks notice
Before white man will say a BLACKMAN is a HERO, that means AZUMA NELSON is truly a WARRIOR.
Es negro...eso está clasificado en el color de las razas.. Cuál es tu complejo?
Nelson was some fighter...Jim showed massive town halls that night...respect to both fellas
When the Lion is dressed and ready for its jungle, you better stay out of its way.
The music brings back memories. Nostalgia. Azumah was a tough smart boxer.. Jim McDonnell tried his best.

@BestCanKeanRob2 Humbled? No. A great champion dug deep and pulled one out of the bag. Nelson announced himself as world class.
Azumah Nelson: RELENTLESS!!
"In a few minutes, Londoner Jimmy McDonnell will try to tame the African lion, Azumah Nelson...."
Nelson is a legion
Brother Amesko Azuma Nelson is my favourit in boxing God bless him.
Gary Newbon, consistently the worst post fight interviewer ever
andydnyc fact
Spot on, "You under estimated him." That was an accusation, not a question.
Agreed Newbon is a tit
@BestCanKeanRob2 True, they're equally cunts.
My dad used to hate him,
GN "were you happy to score that goal?"
Dad scowls at telly, "No, he was gutted, course he was happy, what a tit!!"
Biased commentators...Azumah won the fight yet Jim is the hero?
Because he was courageous fighting with one eye. And it doesn't hurt he is British.

Biased commentators!! He was completely beaten from start to end
DESPITE RECEIVING ALL THE HEADBUTTS IN EVERY ROUND, DESPITE ALL THE HITTING AND HOLDING IN EVERY ROUND DESPITE ALL THE SHOULDERS IN THE FACE IN EVERY ROUND THE BEST FIGHTER STILL WON.
Shut up you nonce
Nelson was indeed a professor which really knows his work
McDowell was game in this fight and he boxed so well than people gave him credit for!!
That’s was a pretty good fight!!
When, Jim realised he was running out of gas, he should have gone to the gas station.
It was stupendous fight betwen a technician McDonald and powerful african lion Nelson
There'll never be another Azumah Nelson ❤❤❤
Azumah Nelson, master piece. He deliberately had Jim do all the work till he got extremely exhausted, then knock the blood cloth out of the boy. Well done Jim, but know your levels next trip. Better luck in your reincarnation son😂😂😂
He gets knocked in to his next incarnation when he comes back.
Look for his fight with Kenny Vice
I wonder why the trainers of Jim didn't see that Azumah was a tactician on the stage. They shouldn't have advised Jim to adopt Jeff Fenech's style of pushing Azumah to the corners of the rope. It invariably spelt the doom of many challengers in the ring.
The late Reg Gutteridge, the voice of ITV boxing 68-95.
The one and only professor.
No shame in losing to a great like Nelson

Nelson: when I smell blood, I go for it..
Salvador Sanchez defeated Nelson
You can just see the purity in real strength of Azumah nelson
Total fatigue, however Jim you’re a soldier ok. U fought with the best class that’s all. Sorry
They both fought for the same amount of minutes. The best won.
Barry Mcguigan ran the Fuck away from Nelson that’s why Nelson never got that fight.
@kc1973able I take it you can prove that statement? Barry McGuigan didn't run away from Nelson. Whether he would've beaten Azumah Nelson is another story..
Back when sport was free on tv
It's still free in countries like Holland, Germany, France and the entire Europe or continent, only your country England has made everything payable
Azumah seems to be indicating to McDonnell that you can RUN, but you cannot HIDE.
British crowds are completely different from others, class
Haggler , Minton ?
Buen boxeador sal Sánchez mucho megor pero se adelantó que bueno que el ganes supo conservar buen tiempo el título y darle una lección de boxea a wilfredo Gómez
Azumah the greatest lightweight ever
Yes, close indeed. Look @ the wife’s face hahahaha hahahaha. She can feel the African lions crawling from afar ooo.
He nearly got killed in the bloody ring n still have nerves to talk rubbish. Typical
Shows me how great Savador Sanchez was .
I love how these commentators are pulling for Jim and seeing phantom punches landing. Well . . . let's see how it turns out.
Nelson is a great fighter no question about it but he makes the mistakes of not cutting the ring but rather following Jim around the ring
These announcers are almost as bad as Jim Lampley.
What a gutsy performance.
McDonnell’ corner should be ashamed of themselves. Should have pulled him out early on. A true no win situation here
Some much respect for Jimmy Mac.... up against an all time great.
In fact azuma is the greatest boxer ghana has ever had.
They are best both, what a fight
Nelson wanted to kill the guy hahahahahaha
Azumah always a confident fighter
Azumah couldn't risk points
yup. although boxrec shows he would have won on two out of three cards but the fact is, yes McDonnell put up a hell of a scrap no doubt about that but no judge should have had him winning period. especially McDonnell up 106-102. the other two judges had it exactly the opposite, 106-102 for Nelson at the time of the KO. those are more like the real score imo. so yeah nelson could not afford to risk a judges decision
I miss the itv boxing intro
Love Jimmy McDonald’s humility though, but that wasn’t good enough to conquer the professor from the sea side. Sorry, mate.
It's vital that you have a big punch
Brave lad Jim McDonnell
Hey, full credit for heart
