Azumah Nelson V Pat Cowdell

[@judex3226]

Azumah, was such an exciting fighter. That uppercut was something special. I remember watching this on tv in 1985. Almost 40 years have flashed by. I’m now 57 😳

[@MrMagsimus]

I remember this guy always called out Barry mcwiggan and he avoided him lol , don’t blame him

[@gazmase6134]

No other way round

[@ysgol3]

Hi, if you mean Mcguigan avoided Nelson, you're dead right. Nelson would have flattened him quicker than he flattened Cowdell.

[@hyena131]

@@ysgol3 Wee Barry would've put on a better show than Cowdell.

[@umeshpatel3606]

no it wasnt mcguigan avoided him why would Nelson back out a true warrior!@@gazmase6134

[@artistbanker1915]

One of the best uppercuts I have ever seen. Waited to Cowdell to throw the left and countered with devastating effect. Nelson was an all time great and understandable why McGuigan avoided.

[@ysgol3]

Watching featherweights from this period, I always think of Sal Sanchez, tragically killed in 1982, who destroyed Nelson and would, I believe, have become renowned as the greatest boxer of all time, not just the greatest featherweight.

[@philgarrett5498]

Didn't destroy him. Won in the 15th round when Nelson was still on the way up , only his 14th professional fight.

[@ysgol3]

@@philgarrett5498 It was in the 15th that he destroyed him!

Nicest uppercut ever thrown

[@properformanceboxing]

Great Uppercut. Thank you for the upload.

[@jimcameron4672]

Pat leaned in a lot and Azuma had the answer

[@KwameAboagye-o3j]

Azumah Nelson is the greatest featherweight ever. That uppercut turned left hook destroyed Cowdell that night.

[@markwhittaker6866]

What a punch.

[@Crease36]

Pat was a good fighter but lets be honest he had no business being in the ring with a beast like Nelson!

[@thomasp3865]

Why not? Cowdell went 15 rounds with Salvador Sanchez and held him to a split decision and Nelson was stopped by Sanchez. Cowdell had what it took to compete with Nelson he just got caught with a good shot here. Thats boxing, it happens

[@Crease36]

@@thomasp3865 Was he ever in the top 5 Featherweights in the world? I would doubt it...

[@garethobrien2821]

There's a Part 2 to this on here. Why? ;o))

[@sethappiah9939]

Very good

[@patrickbrowne4606]

I’m shocked that these Brit’s didn’t start throwing bottles into the ring after the fight like they did when Marvin Haglar destroyed Alan Minter!

[@petecernan2568]

Why? do you think all people are the same

[@matthewleslie4448]

Probably because unlike Minter, Pat had no truck with using racism to goad an opponent and give racist arseholes an excuse to riot.

[@PhflyDan1]

Man get DRAPE dread!!😮

[@warrenhammonds1093]

The shot hit him on the tip of the nose. I had a basketball bounce straight up and hit me under the nose. I passed out from the pressure put on my brain. Take your hand and tap yourself under the nose and see what I mean.

Sal sanchez struggle with this bum split desicion

[@MB-fo2sk]

Cowdell wasn't a bum, he was caught with a perfect punch, it can happen to anyone. Also, saying Sanchez struggled with him is a bit of a stretch, Cowdell fought a great fight and definitely took some rounds but Sanchez clearly won. The judge who scored it for Cowdell was either corrupt or incompetent.

[@UNSTABLE111]

Cowdell isn't a fucking bum you twat...also , salvador beat him handedly to be honest..I watched the fight, and no way it was a split decision...also, azumah Nelson is just a damn beast..and Sanchez defeated this beast early in his career..

[@papalegba6759]

@@UNSTABLE111 cowdell was a great technician and very highly respected in the british boxing scene. nelson's power & speed were just too much for him, like they were for lots of other boxers.

[@markhamer4168]

Fuckin stupid comment.

[@Johnycruz772]

Then Sanchez finished Nelson
