Azumah Nelson talks about Salvador Sanchez

[@SuperJaimeMendoza]

Azumah Nelson should be proud to have had a fight with one of the greatest fighter on earth. He knows it because he fought against the best of his times, including Wilfredo Gomez. Azumah was also one of the greatest, but Salvador was probably the best on earth so far.

[@mabellepetiterousse833]

I totally agree

[@marcocarrasco7840]

Nelson had only 2 weeks for training, never been scheduled to fight 15 rounds and only had 13 fights.

SALVADOR SANCHEZ EL MEJOR BOXEADOR MEXICANO, EL NUM 1- con una excelente pegada, - una impresionante resistencia fisica , jamas respiraba por la boca los mismos puertorriqueños le apodaban el 3 pulmones por su resistencia cardiobascular, el mismo Sanchez decia que siempre se entrenaba para pelear minimo 20 rounds no 15 o menos ,mandibula de granito, técnica depuradisima con variedad de golpes de todos los angulos, excelente en las 3 distancias, mentalidad fria jamas hacia gestos ni daba a notar que pensaba con su expresion facial, siempre en constante movimiento sobre la punta de sus pies , sin dejar de tirar golpes por lo que nunca era un blanco fácil, un FUERA DE SERIE ,en mi opinión por arriba de Chavez ya que los primeros 46 rivales de Chavez y De Sanchez, fueron de mucha mas calidad los rivales de Sanchez. Chavez en sus primeras 50 peleas peleo con 18 boxeadores debutantes o sea CERO PELEAS, otros 15 rivales de Chavez no llegaban ni a 10 peleas y con mas perdidas que ganadas. Sanchez a los 21 años ya era campéon mundial y fue reconocido por los 3 organismos CMB, AMB, FIB y The Ring como el mejor libra por libra del mundo junto con Leonard en 1981, y ya era conocido en todo el mundo ,mientras que Chavez a los 22 apenas iba a disputar su primer titulo y SOLO ERA CONOCIDO EN TIJUANA Y CULIACAN. Otra de varias cosas, es que Sanchez le gano el campeonato mundial pluma a un gran campeon mundial a Danny el coloradito lopez a los 21 años a quien Sanchez noqueo, y en la revancha lo volvio a noquear, repito le gano su titulo pluma a un campeon mundial muy bueno de 27 años que le habia ganado a Ruben Puas olivares, Bazzoka limon, Bobby Chacon,Chucho Castillo etc Mientras que Chavez le gano su primer campeonato super pluma a un clasificado numero 1 ( no a un campeon mundial) a Mario azabache Martinez, por que el campeonato estaba vacante. Es decir no es lo mismo ganarle a un campéon mundial como Danny López que llevaba 9 defensas de campeonato mundial que habia ganado sus 9 defensas por nocaut por que era un gran pegador. Que ganarle a un simple clasificado numero 1 , que jamas fue campéon como el Azabache que tenia tan solo 19 años ya que era de 1965 cuando peleo con Chavez de 22 años de edad, y Chavez era el clasificado numero 7 y Sulaiman le dio la oportunidad a Chavez sin conocerlo por que los clasificados 2,3 4,5,6 unos ya habian recibido la oportunidad de disputar el titulo y otros estaban lesionados y se fijo en el numero 7 que era chavez sin conocerlo. Otra cosa que casi nadie menciona , es que Chavez perdio su pelea numero 12 ante Miguel Ortiz , y se la borraron de su record a partir de la pelea 51 o 52 para favorecerlo en su record . Las mejores peleas de Chavez fueron a partir de la numero 43 , y entre los 24 y 30 años de edad. Hacia atras muchos bultos, ya que antes de los 24 años en que Chavez llevaba 46 peleas sus unicos rivales de calidad eran Roger Mayweather, y medianamente Ruben Castillo que ya no estaba en su mejor momento y nada mas etc etc . Aunado a que posteriormente Chavez tambien despues de 1984 en su etapa de campéon mundial , realizo mas de 30 peleas a 10 rounds intercaladas con las peleas de campeonato mundial, peleas en las que no estaba en disputa ningun titulo de campeonato mundial, lo que ocasiono que su tiempo como campéon mundial se prolongara mas nuevamente con peleas fáciles a 10 rounds con rivales de poca calidad. Y lo mas importante Sanchez a los 23 años ya llevaba 9 defensas , le gano a Danny lopez 2 veces por nocaut, a Patrikc Ford, a Juan laporte a quien Sanchez le gano de manera clara y Chavez le gano de manera muy cerrada con un resultado polémico, el mismo Laporte decia en entrevistas que era mas fuerte y de mas pegada Sanchez que Chavez. Tambien le gano a Rúben castillo que estaba en su mejor momento, a Pat Dowell ,Roberto Castañon, le gano y noqueo al mejor boxeador de la historia de Africa a Azuma Nelson, a quien solo Sal Sanchez lo noqueo en toda su carrera , ni siquiera Pernall Whitaker pudo noquear a Azuma Nelson y eso ya siendo veterano Nelson, 6 años mayor que Whitaker , y solo 1 año mayor Azumah Nelson que Sanchez cuando pelearon. Y Whitaker de 29 años le gano a Chavez , de 31, siendo solo mayor Chavez 1 año 8 meses , es decir estaban igualados, pelea que le robaron a Whitaker para conservarle el invicto a Chavez y le regalaron el empate a Chavez para conservarle nuevamente el "invicto". Y Sanchez noqueo muy posiblemente al mejor boxeador puertorriqueño a Wilfredo Gomez, que iba invicto y llevaba sus ultimas 32 peleas ganadas por nocaut, entre ellos Gómez noqueo a Lupe pintor , Carlos Zarate y a Bazzoka limón. Y Salvador Sanchez lo masacro a placer en 8 rounds. Y otro punto muy IMPORTANTE , es que Salvador Sanchez debuto a los 16 años cumplidos , en 1975 , y Chavez casi a los 18 años en 1980, y Sanchez de los 16 años a los 18 hizo 18 peleas sin perder ninguna peleando contra lo mejor de México y despues contra lo mejor del mundo como ya lo mencione, y en ese mismo lapso de tiempo , Chávez apenas debuto a los 18, lo cual es un gran mérito para Sanchez por que siendo un adolescente arraso con lo mejor de su división en el pais. No en vano uno de los primeros entrenadores de Chavez, el Zurdo Felix, cuando murio Salvador Sanchez comentaba abiertamente , " Que ahora si Chavez y Jose Luis Ramirez" tenian el camino libre , reconociendo que con la presencia de Salvador Sanchez en el boxeo, era dificil que Chavez y Ramirez a quienes entrenaba, lograran un lugar importante en el boxeo mundial. Y cuando Fallecio Salvador Sanchez, ya estaba negociandose para el siguiente año en 1983 , la pelea de Sanchez vs Alexis Argüello, para lo cual Sanchez ya iba a subir de división a peso ligero, y en ese lapso murio, pero Alexis Arguello en entrevistas como con Antonio Andere en Nueva York , reconocio con la franqueza y humildad que lo caracterizo, que el si tenia temor de pelear con Sanchez , ya que veia mas posibilidades de perder que de ganar, ya que dijo que ya no tenia piernas ni velocidad para pelear con un boxeador de la calidad de Sal Sanchez, y lo mismo opino, ya que Argüello a pesar de haber sido triple campéon mundial , era de 1952 y Sanchez de 1959, es decir era 7 años mas joven Sanchez, y en 1983 , Argüello hubiera tenido 31 años y Sanchez 24, y Argüello no hubiera podido con la enorme técnica, empuje, pegada,velocidad, y sobre todo JUVENTUD de Sanchez. Otro punto importante es que Salvador Sánchez todas sus peleas de campeonato mundial las realizo a 15 rounds, las que terminaba sobradamente con una inigualable condicion fisica Pero justo cuando fallecio en Agosto de 1982, a los 2 o 3 meses ,a las peleas de campeonato mundial el CMB les quito 3 rounds, debido a que se considero a base de estudios cientificos y medicos, que en las peleas de box, el organismo humano sufre deshidratación severa, hipertencion, cansancio extremo etc, y corre mas peligro la vida del boxeador, por lo que le quitaron 3 rounds y las peleas de campeonato mundial se establecieron de 12 rounds, ademas de que varios boxeadores perdieron la vida entre los rounds 13-15. Y Chavez se corono casi 2 años despues de la muerte de Sanchez, y Chavez JAMAS REALIZO NINGUNA pelea de 15 rounds en toda su carrera, por lo que jamas demostro si realmente tenia ese fondo fisico que si tenia Salvador Sanchez. De Sal Sanchez dijo Willie Pep uno de los 2 o 3 mejores pesos pluma de la historia y uno de los 50 mejores boxeadores del mundo, cuando lo vio pelear en USA que que bueno que no fueron de la misma epoca, porque hubiera sido muy dificil ganarle a Sal Sanchez porque lo tenia todo. Y Roy Jones jr ha dicho que el mas grande de todos los tiempos fue Mohamnad Ali por las peleas memorables que realizo y por su activismo social etc , pero el mas técnico y completo fue un mexicano, Sal Sanchez. Sugar Ray Leonard admiraba el boxeo fino de Salvador Sanchez y llegó a decir que era una lástima que no fueran de la misma división que el , porque una pelea entre ellos 2 hubiera sido una gran pelea . Y Para mi sin lugar a dudas si Sanchez no hubiera muerto, Chavez se hubiera quedado a la sombra de Sanchez. No creo que el Chavez de 22 años que le gano al Azabache Martinez, le hubiera ganado al Sanchez de 22 años que le gano a Wilfredo Gomez asi de sencillo. Y lo mejor de Sanchez estaba aun por venir , ya iba a subir de división y seguramente su madurez y aun mayor plenitud boxistica hubiera sido entre los 24 a 30 años en que hubiera realizado grandes peleas ,pero lo sorprendio la muerte y creo que de no haber fallecido en 1982 , Chavez se hubiera quedado en un segundo nivel por debajo de Sanchez , y era inevitable una pelea entre ambos , ya que Sal Sanchez solo era mayor 3 años que Chavez, siendo Sanchez de 1959 y Chavez de 1962 y de iguales caracteristicas físicas de la misma estatura y alcance etc , pelea que hubiera sido dura, sin duda hubiera sido la pelea mas importante entre 2 mexicanos en la historia del boxeo del Pais y del boxeo mundial , pero en mi opinión hubiera ganado sin lugar a dudas EL ENORME SALVADOR SANCHEZ que a pesar de haber fallecido sin llegar siquiera a la mitad de su carrera, es considerado por la revista The Ring el num 24 de todos los tiempos , y es el boxeador mexicano con la carrera mas brillante hasta los 23 años , muy por arriba de Rúben púas Olivares, Carlos Zarate, Lupe Pintor, y el mismo Chavez etc. Y no demérito a Chavez , para mi el segundo mejor boxeador de México y que hizo algunas grandes peleas pero básicamente entre las peleas 50 a la 89, pero también de quien hay que decir que Chavez a confesado que en una época de su carrera llegaba a subir a pelear drogado lo que le daba una ventaja, y lo que le quita algo de veracidad a su carrera, Mientras que Sanchez fue un deportista sano y GENUINO. SALVADOR SANCHEZ NARVÁEZ ,ORGULLO DEL BOXEO MEXICANO , LATINO Y MUNDIAL.

En una ocasión Willie Pep que es uno de los 2 o 3 mejores pesos pluma de la historia, y para muchos que esta dentro de los 10 o 15 mejores de la historia, el vio siendo ya un señor de edad en una funcion de box a Sal Sanchez , comento que que bueno que Sanchez no haya peleado en su epoca, por que hubiera sido muy dificil vencerlo.

[@exspiravit6920]

Idk man, I'd say he hit his prime early like most fighters who started the Pros as Minors (he was 16 I think) and by the time he fought Danny Lopez he was hitting on all cylinders. There is evidence that he was still evolving though, and he had a Murderer's row of guys coming at him and he just had to deal with them in real time. No footage or long fight films to watch. He had SEVERAL close, somewhat disputed, split decision wins against Laporte, Patrick Ford, Ruben Castillo, and if he hadnt caught Azumah Nelson with the late barrage, he probably would've had yet another split decision win. It says a lot about his maturity and savvy being able to beat Undefeated versions of so many future champions. I still think that, if we're being serious objective boxing fans, that you really have to reach far to justify that win over Ruben Castillo. That guy out slicked Salvador. The worst of it is that Sanchez wouldn't stop letting Ruben get the best of the inside exchanges, then after scoring he would hop away and circle or go back to center of the ring. Still pisses me off to this day!!! He was better than Ruben, but Ruben had lost to Arguello like 10 months before, and was DETERMINED to get the belt that night. Crazy

I wouldn't even know about Azumah had he not fought Sanchez. Salvador already had a made name. Azumah was good ,but threw wildly haymakers. Sanchez was strictly disciplined.He often makes other fighters appear amateurish.Chavez supposedly trained under some of the same trainers that Sanchez had. Salvador inspires not only other boxers from Mexico, but has a fanbase worldwide. He touted the prospect of retiring from boxing anyways after the Nelson bout. He wanted to go to med school and become a doctor and help people. When he died, Azumah Nelson and Wilfredo Gomez both paid respects at his funeral.

[@killcancer6499]

Much respect to a great warrior and true champion. Azumah Nelson has always been a favorite fighter of mine. It was disappointing to hear him make excuses about his loss to another all time great though. In watching that fight it was clear that Nelson's conditioning was excellent, but he was outclassed by Sanchez. That had nothing to do with his mouthguard. He needed a KO to win and he went for it just like he should have. He fell short. A rematch would have been great. Nelson was not yet the polished champion he would become when he fought Sanchez.

[@killcancer6499]

@Mari Jata I suspect that Nelson had much more than two weeks notice. Sanchez was probably set up, and had no idea who he was going to fight. That is why they brought Nelson half-way around the world on last minute's notice. Just a suspicion.

[@FernandoRodriguez-qj5xq]

Sanchez was the one that was expecting to fight a nobody

[@GoGetYourShinebox]

In my opinion Sanchez didn’t look his usual self in the fight vs Nelson, didn’t have that usual sharpness. Maybe he felt he could coast the fight. However you can see that when Sanchez knew he was in a real fight he stepped it up a gear, was bouncing on his feet again looking his usual self, but even still Nelson had him in trouble. It was Sanchez’s toughness, conditioning and the left hook that won him the fight. Sanchez was spamming the left hook once he figured it was the punch that was getting through on the counter

It was a tune up fight ? Are you aware the fight was scheduled for 15 rounds ? Are you saying Salvador didn`t train well enough to go the full 15 ? Tune up fights for a world champ are usually scheduled for ten rounds none title. They expected Nelson not to last long until Sanchez camp was tipped off by the sparing partner just how strong Nelson was in the ring against him. Sanchez was already set to fight Arguello next.

[@joneslt]

Agree 100%. It was one of the best fights of the 80's, and for a lot of reasons. Nelson's obvious talent and desire to win, the stamina of Salvador Sanchez, the back and forth exchanges. It doesn't get the credit it deserves other than to true fans of the sport.

[@blite13]

It took Sanchez some time to figure Azumah out, once he did, he was outscoring him. Sanchez was hitting Nelson with a short left hook as Azumah punched wide. This would happen over and over no matter how many times they fought. Just a matter of how many of those left hooks Nelson could take. Sharp inside punching beats long outside punching every time.

Nelson was continuously training before the Sanchez fight. He fought six rounds not even a month before the Sanchez fight and he won by TKO. Granted, it's difficult to fight consecutively but he fought in Ghana vs a guy who made his pro debut but he didn't start training two weeks before the fight. It would have been optimal to have a longer preparation for a guy like Sanchez and Nelson did give him hell but he didn't lose because he wasn't in shape.

[@MilesTeg87]

Completely agree. The issue i take with his stance is that he makes it look like he was laying around doing nothing and then he was thrown as a tune-up fight for Salvador Sanchez with just a 2 week notice. A month before he KO'ed a guy who was making his pro debut when Azuma was already African champion. Granted that his condition was not 100%, but resuming training after 2 weeks of fighting and having a complete training camp, i would dare to say that his conditioning was better than a guy who took 1 or 2 months to rest prioir to getting back on the gym. There's no way in hell you can do 15 rounds and take punches from Salvador if your conditioning is poor. It makes it sound like poor excuses. The other thing is that Salvador wasn't training for him and probably never saw footage of his fights. Since i'm talking out of my ass here i would say that with a proper training camp, already knowing Azuma from the fight, Sal could have blasted him quicker.

Solo diré algo, Salvador Sánchez venia de tener como 9 peleas en menos de dos años, en el momento de su pelea contra Nelson, Sánchez era 6 meses menor que Nelson, y definitivamente aun no estaba físicamente en su prime, y por último Salvador Sánchez esa pelea la termino entero, aún cuando se acabó la pelea se montó en las cuerdas y se le veía físicamente intacto. Y eso sin contar que Sánchez no conocía el estilo de Azuma Nelson. Hay que dimensionar el contexto entero y aceptar que Salvador Sánchez fue sin duda el mejor peleador mexicano de todos los tiempos, tenía técnica, inteligencia, potencia, buena defensa, buen contragolpe, aguantaba golpes de poder sin inmutarse, y sin querer exagerar, creo que tenía el mejor fisico y cardio de la historia del boxeo, nunca abria la boca para respirar.

[@fernandoblanco3001]

As great as Azumah was, he did not have anything special to overcome Sanchez' talent. Yeah he can say he wasn't going to get a decision victory, but Azumah knew then and now that he couldn't beat Sanchez on his backfoot (outbox) nor was he going to win most of the rounds via counterpunching, something that Sanchez was a master at. Nelson and his camp knew that and coupled with his great conditioning, chin and confidence took the fight to Sanchez (who was treating the fight as a tune up) and went for the knockout. Sanchez had a granite chin and Azumah on his greatest day would've been unlikely to knockout Salvador. A rematch would've shown a different fight with Azumah taking less chances, respecting Sanchez' power and if Sanchez was unprepared the first time, he forces the action and pushes a cautious Azumah to fight hard and get stopped between rounds 9-10. What seems even more likely is better camps for both fighters, yet a comfortable decision by Sanchez after such a hard, first fight. Azumah was a great fighter with a lot of cultural pride and I understand this interview, but deep in his heart, even he is aware that there are levels to boxing and Sanchez, at that weight class, was a legend and definitely top 5 in that division all-time.

[@stevewhiting1768]

Nice summary I couldn’t have said it better.Most fighters have a plan weather it works or not but how do you beat Sanchez great chin has good power could box counter punch and nobody was in better shape I never saw him even open his mouth to breath even in the 15th round..Nobody ever even hurt Nelson much less knock him down and then out..I really don’t think any feather weight in history could deal with him..#1 all day everyday day and yes this is my opinion....

Its really something to realize that they very likely would've wound up matched against one another eventually had Sanchez not been in that car that fatefull tragic day in 1982. Likely,Sanchez would've fought Chavez 2 or 3 years later at 130 or 135. Don King wanted Sanchez to fight for the LW(135) title right after The Nelson fight,apparently because there wasnt enough talent and challenge available at that time in the jr.LW(130) division. Chavez started out at 130 and stayed there for awhile,but he didnt start rising to greatness until around 1984 or 85,something like that. So yeah,they definately would've fought and for sure would've had an epic trilogy i'm quite certain.

You right, also the professor of REJECTION, no accepting that The Great Salvador Sanchez is way BETTER than him.

[@amck72]

Did he ever say he was better than Sanchez ? Did you even listen to the audio ? LOL

[@renehernandez9803]

He is only excusing

[@amck72]

Rene Hernandez still mad he beat the shit out of your Hispanic fighters huh ? 😁 you must be a special type of fucktard to even think of anything bad to say about a humble champion as Nelson.

[@eyeofthetiger8167]

Nelson said he was HUMBLE AND GOD FEARING, but this interview proves otherwise.. not HUMBLE AT ALL!!

[@HERSANS21]

Y también varios boxeadores mexicanos que destacaron, no hablan muy bien de Salsanchez, como que le tienen envidia

[@Aphorim]

si, el mismo Eddie Reynoso dijo que no era tan bueno, lo irónico es que su estilo esta basado en el fundamento de salvador: defensa agresiva
