Two Hall of Fame featherweights in my book. What a great fight these two put on

[@mhmalik25]

man o man wat a fight that was, i saw it live at home when i was a lil kid and still remember it

[@stuntmanloco]

That ain't no knock-down ref!! Naz rules - what a boxer. Beautiful.

[@Jairzinho121]

This is one of my 2 best fights ever, along with Hearns Hagler. Just pure action and launched Hamed in the States in style. Hamed was one of the most unique fighters ever, its a shame he lost his heart after the Barerra points loss. I

[@abdu233]

We are so proud of this arabic fighter.. and we hope the best for all arabic champions..

[@neoalphaone]

definately one of my all time favorite fights!

[@untissify]

Great entertainment, thanks for posting.

[@shahidawan]

prince is the king i love his enterance and his funny fearless boxing style

[@xplo12]

Hamed the best boxer ever. so fun 2 watch a credit 2 boxing. Hes got that Yemeni power!!!!

[@1984dw]

god i miss this guy soo much he was brill

[@abab911]

they are really gooooooooooood . power skills and show omg this is one of great boxing

[@jsmidash]

Nadeem Hamed was one of the toughest fighters in the lower weight classes in the 90s. I like his style because it was unorthodox but he got away with it because he was skilled. He countered well, had power in both hands and the way he flailed when he was getting hit with power took the sting off of a lot of punches he took. The only way to hurt him was to catch him off balance, but you had to be precise cause he'd come out with that uppercut out of nowhere if you weren't paying attention. He wa

[@HalDanGhor]

Yeah! And thank you very much! The Prince got tremendous power, very strong legs, and very ackward style. Most of his opponents did not know how to react against such a new style for them. He earned his money, because he re-written boxing in a new different way. Some extreme, and love him or not, it was something to see. :)

[@sahab999]

Naseem Hamed is a real boxer because he got the skills and the respect!

[@Britallion24]

jeez i wish there were more fights like this and more entertainers in the sport like naz.....he was the complete package!

[@tim89987]

I saw this fight live back in the day.. If I remember right, he said something like, "You're the best fighter I ever faced and I know I'm the best you ever faced." Not word for word, I'm sure, but I remember something very much like that, that Naseem walked away w/a lot of respect for Kelley, even though he didn't show it w/his grandstanding at the beginning.

[@YakiKadafi90]

great fight, dat wut happens when u got 2 guys who can punch n willing to trade.. i love how hamed shows kelley respect after d fight, he did d same too barrera. u can say he's arrogant but he always gives credit when theres credit due

[@seanjk23]

Got to be one the best fights ever!

[@laistar]

The Prince brought Mike Tyson-esque popularity to the lower weight divisions. Too entertaining.

[@beachman007]

just beautiful boxing

[@b0x1n9f4n]

This fight was a classic.

[@soffitts]

thanks bro,it was a great fight,and it took two fighters to make it great.i remember watching this one live. im 5 .11 and 238 lbs solid, naz wouldnt knock me out cos id knock him out first ha ha. met him yrs ago in sheffield,hes tiny,awesome puncher tho.

[@BourbonJRA]

awesome fight, hamed was brilliant for the sport

[@brotherhood302]

Great 4rds. That's the heart and skill my ppl(African AmericanS) suppose to have in the ring. Win, lose or draw, ressurect the legacy.

[@jsmidash]

as wildly entertaining and one of the greats of his time

[@GlennHoussenloge]

Naseem's record speaks for itself. Sure he should have rematched Barrera. However, he was a class fighter with a different style but it worked and he defended his titles with success during his career. You cant take that away from and he should be respected for that.

[@devrun0]

when was this fight?

[@aceinthehole1222]

He did that long ass entrance and STILL beat this fools ass. Naseem was a monster.

[@1jon211]

he talks the talk he walks the walk - prince naseem hamed

[@waikhumoo]

wow this is amazing boxing the winner and mohammad ali and mike tyson they are the greatest

[@dvdmsch]

miss hamed so much.boxing needs another guy like hamed.

[@Gameface1]

What a freaking ending. thats power!

[@browndeutch]

Naseem was the first fighter at 126 to get a HBO contract, please don't tell me was average, hands down the hardest hitting featherweight in the history of the sport. Hands down the greatest boxer to come out of England.

[@AlphaDraconis7]

I dont care if this guy lost to barrera, he was soooo FUNNY to watch. pure entertainment

[@WorldwideJamal]

both fighters did their thing in this fight

[@McElhinney65]

Larry Merchant remarked "The Hagler/Hearns of featherweight fighting"...praise indeed.

[@idster7]

commentary is really good. george foreman is really astute. jim lampley is always great. larry merchant's good too. and an awesome fight. i remember watching this live.

[@HalDanGhor]

Well, he got hit a lot by Kelley. Kelley tryed a little too much in the fourth round, but that was Kelley and what he believed at that time, that he could get rid of Hamed. However, he got caught. It's mainly because of the great concentration and determination (and chin) of the Prince that it happened though. Anyway, that was the hell of a fight. I loved it and still love it! :)

[@yungbaz]

Naz is one of the greatest featherweights to step in to the ring.

[@Jay1898]

@oldfilikin - yep agreed. he was in fantastic shape at his peak and a fantastic showman. he knew his cockiness would wind some people up but did not give a damn. it was all about the show and he had amazing talent: 37 fights and 32 KOs with only one loss I believe. I do miss his theatrics and he gave boxing an incredible buzz - unlike the mundane, bring rubbish we have to put up with today.

[@abudujana13]

WHAT A FIGHT!!!!!!!!! THANX KHALILJ

[@dramamc6243]

agreed and people seem to confuse the two. Ever notice how people use one thing to ridicule one boxer and then use the same thing to defend a boxer they like?

[@moaaz123456]

"he's for real, the prince is for realll!!" lol

[@Dungeonkeeper555]

NASEEM !!! GOOD FIGHTER _ RESPECT !!!

[@TheMRJabyouintheFace]

@RamboRonnie Exactly, barrea rotated round naseem clockwise to counter naseems left hand.

[@yungbaz]

Yes I agree kelley was one of his toughest opponents but Naz dealt with it and knocked him spark out like he said he would.

[@CochinchineRaconteur]

Barrera was tough and could take a shot but when he was on his game, Hamed's power was enough to take anyone out - deadly one punch KO power.

[@Ahmet1445]

@TheBoxingFan360 So why doesnt he sign the contract to fight wlad in july 2th?

[@mohammed75008]

really good fight amazing two boxers but my vote goes to the Prince

[@17680]

nice fight naseem hamed is class!

[@Nicey90]

brendan what a dreamerr, my uncles a trainer at his n ive box there for a few years

[@callendrellist]

Brakie78, mate, you are spot on. Nas proved himself to be a good fighter, not a great one. And its also fairly clear that once Barrera dealt with him he didnt have the courage or believe to quickly get back in the ring and resume his career against top quality opponents and prove his worth. No shame in getting beaten by Barrera, but forfeited a lot of his credit by being too pyschologically weak to continue his career properly after that bout.

[@slimithy12]

this is one of my favorite fights of all time. i remember watching this on sky like it was yesterday. prince was the man. i read a comment saying that pacman vs prince would of been great. thats so true but naz was a better boxer then pac and had just as much power. i would like to of seen a floyd naz fight more. they were the same weight. naz had more power but floyd had better boxing skills and liked to go for knockouts more back in 2000 2001. so that would of been epic

[@birchual]

if i remember right from the original broadcast in 97 which is pushing it a bit, he says something like ''you are a fucking fighter, you are a fucking fighter, you are the best fighter i have fought'' etc. then in the interview he says ''i took all his best shots, he couldn't take mine''

[@TheMckenziefamily]

Best entrance ever lmfao!!!

[@McDonald12345]

@invalensname I agree with most of what you said(in fact I said the similar things in a previous comment) with the exception of no one achieving what he did in the same amount of time. Many of the greats accomplished similar things by that point in their careers, and against stiffer competition. Like you said, the thing that keeps Hamed from being "one of the greats" is he didn't avenge the loss and keep going. I totally agree that to use a quote, "there's no room in boxing for perfection."

[@ctownsdelaval]

great fight entertainment wise.

[@Jaybeefromhiscastle]

@Maxshard We viewers, regardless of nationality, all only have one camera angle from which to judge, and sadly Esteves marred it for a few crucial milliseconds. I'll continue making my analyses based solely on the available empirical evidence, although you are perfectly entitled to continue forming opinions based on "yank whining ". Thank you for your input.

[@nitroAhmed]

if i'm not mistaken you might mean pernell whitaker, but he is from the older days of boxing, check him out if you haven,t heard of him

[@Old_82]

That was naseem style and part of what made him deadly hands by his waist dancing around bravado brought guys in reckless trying to slug with him. That left hand was death way ahead of his time.

[@biggerflexible]

He ended his career too soon to be considered a legend. He was a really hard puncher that had a couple good fights.

[@Ironmanize]

hagler hearns of feather weight; couldn't agree more

[@kevintwine2315]

Hamed.What a fighter!

[@keegsmark]

Barrera was a great pro and a great fighter but naz was a great fighter and an amazing showman he made people want to watch boxing and made them feel happy they had paid to see him weather they were paying to see him win or get beat and that's the Beaty of him the haters would pay for a pay per view event just to see him get beat so love him or hate him There is only a few boxers in history that can say that they got there enemy's to line there pockets. His style and punching power was great to

[@djcharlieking]

amazing fight!

[@MW2mostwanted]

Naseem could take a hit, that guys a man of steel

[@townsjim]

Very true. Hamed was a boxing great

[@jesus3373]

The Prince knocked him out Sparko on teh floor!! Wow I miss the Prince and his antics.

[@khalilj]

everytime someone uploads it.. they take it down.. i have this problem with allot of naz his fights..

[@Eye2Eye24]

he's for real! the prince is for real!

[@carmodifire]

@Vergadoce Actually, he traded balance for harder punching at unusual angles. If he had balance, that means he would favor defense above offense at certain points. But yeah, you're right.

[@NUMBA1PROSPECT]

Hell even guys like Johnny Tapia or Freddie Norwood in those days woulda posed a big problem for Hamed to beat because those guys were in their prime good technical boxers, with tough chins, and handspeed

[@20stafford09]

@cadillacin979 we got amir khan id off loved to see amir khan v prince nassem

[@afgmuscl3]

I wish fighters today were as entertaining as Hamed. The only one i can think of is Floyd and Haye. They both talk smack. But Hamed was even more entertaining in the ring.

[@afgmuscl3]

@lolointro1 No it was a complete 50/50 split that Klit offered. The reason the fight didn't happen was because Haye didn't want Wlad to have another fight before they fought.

[@HalDanGhor]

@noobkamal Thank you dude! However, about the decrease of passion for Nazeem about boxing, I really think that it's Barrera who destroyed his ambitions. Hamed, imho, truly believed he could not lose in the ring. Losing changed his vision of the life I think. He even had to stop trying to promote Allah the way he did before that loss. He tried his best against Barrera, but he would be caught so often and been staggered a couple of times, and badly. He had a great chin and great determination. :)

[@ahmshabibi]

Good Fight, I would not want to be in that ring with either of them!

[@HalDanGhor]

Vic has great abilities indeed, but, really, the Prince's style was totally unique. Makes me think of Pernell Whitaker who had an unique an so effective style too. (both very different styles though)

[@spreadthelove77]

@Gratztheking....They were obviously delighted that Naz won on his U.S debut. Theyd never saw Naz caught so much, but were delighted that he weathered being knocked down by Kelley a couple of times to come back up and win as early as the 4th. The pressure was on him beforehand to deliver and it was such an exciting bout that they were favourable towards him. Shame he couldn't repeat that kinda excitement in his future U.S fights, he coulda been wonderful potentially.

[@titaniumpecker]

Kevin Kelley was one of the few good fighters that Hamed would get in the ring with. He ducked Erik Morales because he knew that Morales would have knocked him out. The only reason Hamed fought Marco Antonio Barrera was that he thought Barrera was a shot fighter after Barrera lost twice to Junior Jones. Fortunately for Barrera, Hamed gave him the fight and we all know how that turned out.

[@kevintwine2315]

nobody beats a prime,focused hamed

[@UsyKilluminati]

@yariyarivrs he was going past on the bus and seen naseem fighting with about 2 or 3 guys so decided to take him into the gym

[@hunterazaola]

Great Boxer!!

[@samimaryan]

Prince is for REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

[@sxcsoori]

hamed took him out. just like he said . "im gona knok ya spark out" prince naseem hamed . never be forgetten uv inspired people all around the world .

[@RaheelTalk]

damn at the ending when naz goes to hug Kelly, their is quite a height different in the two!

[@ButOneThingIsNeedful]

Naseem was very fortunate to win this one. Kelley really outfought him, but spent himself needlessly and did not execute an intelligent fight. He totally ignored what his corner kept telling him. If he had listened, this was his to win (handily).

[@boulaidy09]

best video ever seen

[@BryanAJParry]

Thass the thing. Hamed had awesome power and speed and even unorthodoxness was sometimes a pyschological tool. But his balance and technique and everything was all over the place, and he was just waiting to get his arse kicked.

[@keyodi]

he hit the SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!!!!! out of kelly with 46seconds left, larry goes WHOAAAAA!!!

[@gmonkey808]

great fight that.

[@Jaybeefromhiscastle]

Take a look around 2:18 into the video (1:40 left in the round), they're in a clinch, Nas's head changes place abruptly with Kevin's just as the Ref walks between us and the camera, when he passes Kevin appears to halfway faltering before straightening up. I think Kelley was butted, and because he was dazed, Nas was able to deck him just a few seconds later with a punch that didn't even land cleanly, even though up until 1:40 Nas hit him with nothing significant in that round.

[@Atacama87103]

what a great fight an not just for nas Kelly give him a good run for his money, both fighters desearved to win but it was the princes night

[@eyezick9]

@acdu233 yes hes arabic but he waz born and raised in england so i say hes a Brit

[@rhampshire]

he's for real, the prince is for real!

[@nuneswhite]

Does anyone agree that round 2 of this fight was top ten rounds of all time?

[@ycanionlyevafind1sok]

Naz was also alot more durable than he gets credit for. He went down 5 times in his career (I think) but Ive never seen his legs wobble and his eyes were always clear when he got back up
