My vote goes to Nelson. As bad as Harrison was against Williams (& Guinn for that matter), he couldn’t top Nelson’s shoulder shrugging marathon against De Leon. :badass: :badass: :baeh: :action: :ban:
Harrison -v- Williams was quite funny in round 10, when the con man was decked & Frank Warren jumped up with joy & also in round 11, when the tin man actually threw & landed a punch that hurt Williams! It was very funny watching Harrison trying to finish off Williams, but missing virtually every follow up punch & due to his appalling stamina, he was dead on his feet at the end of the 11th. :laugh:
Nelson -v- De Leon was 12 rounds of shoulder shrugging, mind numbing tedium!
i remember watching nelsons title effort on tv and it bored me rigid. at least with harrison/williams the last 3 rounds had some action. nelsons 2nd title attempt against james waring in 92 wasnt much better either
both as bad as each other. as said nelson eas only a pup at the time, harrison an olympic champion. he’s going to be living with his dissapointment for a long time, nelson turned it around.
Brit I was on the edge of my seat for most of the fight in anticipation, nowing that some thing had to happen. Aworse one than that was,Andries v Johnson but never the less interesting.I find boxing Interesting.
I suppose they did meet a couple of times, so they probably could cancel each other out. And Andries did not start to improve until 82/83.
I do not know if you have ever seen it, but Minter/MagdziarzIII was a horror show. So much so Harry Gibbs walked out on the bout in the fourth, because literally neither fighter had landed a punch (and that is not an exaggeration, yes they feinted and threw the odd punch, but no one had landed a punch), despite numerous warnings to up the work rate.
talked to him straight after them two he said, Were just taking the F###ing p;;s,he had a way with words did Harry Bless Him Probably from the days at Hayes Wharf
