Azumah Nelson v. Jeff Fenech III

After George Foreman made his successful comeback, every heavyweight from the 70s decided to make another go of it (Quarrey, Cobb, Shavers). Even Danny Lopez and Carlos Palomino came back. Hopefully this doesn't kickstart a trend.Yeah. But Quarrey, Foreman, Shavers, Little Red and Carlos took on younger guys not their contemporaries. Didn't they? Had Foreman agreed to the Shavers' challenge, that would have been the start of the SENIORS' CIRCUIT. Fenech vs. Nelson, if it happens, shall get that distinction instead. IF it happens and IF there are similar matches that shall follow. I concede that Tex Cobb fought a contemporary in Rick Kellar who debuted some two years after Cobb ('79 vs. '77). But, with a career record of 16-35, Kellar is not exactly prime material for the Masters' (aka, Seniors') Circuit. (Edit/Note: Cobb had already beaten Kellar in his first incarnation by 2nd round stoppage. It took him two more rounds to finish Kellar in Cobb's comeback fight. Kellar was not on the comeback trail; he didn't retire until after the second fight against Cobb). The oldest opponent Carlos Palomino faced was Rene Arredondo who is 12 years his junior. Little Red was KO'd in 3 in his comeback fight against Jorge Rodriguez who is 14 years younger than him. Brian Morgan was 15 years old when Shavers lost to Ali and Brian Yates, who KO'd Shavers in Shavers' last fight, was just about a year old in 1975. I'm a senior citizen myself, so maybe my memory is not all that good. I may have missed a bout where a champ/leading fighter of the 70's faced, in a dual comeback fight, a contemporary who was a champion or one who was highly rated in their first incarnations. I don't think you can have a "Seniors' Circuit" if you line up Seniors against--for want of a better word--"Juniors". That'd become a Juniors-Seniors Circuit. Anyhow... like you, I hope it (a "trend") becomes stillborn. The "Juniors"-Seniors circuit shoud die too, if there's one.

Both men are being Wheeled into the ring with Wheelchairs.

The start of a SENIORS' CIRCUIT in boxing???!!! After George Foreman made his successful comeback, every heavyweight from the 70s decided to make another go of it (Quarrey, Cobb, Shavers). Even Danny Lopez and Carlos Palomino came back. Hopefully this doesn't kickstart a trend.

The start of a SENIORS' CIRCUIT in boxing???!!!

No f---ing way :/ Yes way, Jeff has lost 16 kgs in the last 2 months and is around 66kgs and he looks great. Not a fight I want to see though but father time would be on Jeff's side here, he is 43 whilst Azumah is 49 (I have no idea what type of shape Nelson is in)

No f---ing way :/

the only thing those guys are fighting is alzheimers

I heard in another article that they're both gonna fight each other again.... Unless they fight in Australia, nobody would even notice. Hopefully this is just a rumor that is going nowhere.
