Salvador Sanchez v. Azumah Nelson
07/21/1982 🗂
~
2 of the greatest featherweights of all time faceoff at Madison Square Garden for the WBC Featherweight title. This was Azumah Nelson's 14th fight & came in as a late replacement from Ghana & the WBC Featherweight champion Salvador Sanchez making his 9th title defense.

The greatest featherweight match I think there ever was had it all, a heavy underdog in Nelson giving the long reigning champion Sanchez arguably his toughest fight, which sadly would be his last fight as Sanchez passed away around 3 weeks after his great win in a car accident at just 23. Even with his short life, Salvador is in the conversation as best featherweight of all time along with Willie Pep & Sandy Saddler & Nelson going on to be multiple time champion and arguably the greatest African fighter ever along with Dick Tiger. Sanchez would win by a 15th round TKO.

Salvador Sanchez retained his WBC Featherweight title in his 9th defense, this being my #1 pick for my fav fights in the Featherweight division, stay tune for 130!
