Mockery of a mockery
Thats what Jeff Fenech and Azumah Nelson did last night in Melbourne. Made a mockery of the so called sport of boxing, which is itself already a joke. Fenech, aged 44, beat Nelson, aged 49, on points in their 10 round fight.
Fenech, 44, did not regret that he and Nelson, 49, came out of a decade of retirement, but conceded Tuesday night’s bout at Vodafone Arena would not rank alongside their fabled clashes of 1991-92.
Both men said afterwards they would not fight again, but felt they offered the 6,000 crowd value for money.
Lets see if they stick to that. Track record of boxers suggests as soon as someone waves enough cash at them they’ll be tempted again.

What is it about boxers that make them continually come out of retirement and get their head bopped a few more times. That can’t be good for them!

The words “train crash” and “rest on your laurels” come to mind!
