Salvador Sanchez (Chava) vs Azumah Nelson (07-21-1982) (2/8)

[Toroballs76]

Greatest Mexican pugilist ever.  Sorry Chavez it's all about Chava...

[eljrclave8]

@Toroballs76 Sorry of what, its better to have 2 than only 1, Sanchez career was amazing but also, don't forget JC Chavez great fights. Other than them, Mexican fighters won 1 important fight but then lose some important fights, this guy won every time in their prime they never lost.

[Toroballs76]

@eljrclave8 Absolutely right...

[Gl2AV1TY]

Damn, 23 years old... ): he still had too much to show us when he die...

RIP

[carpitonto01]

best  ever,no doubt

[salsancheznumber1fan]

oh sanchez would beat chavez without doubt!!!:)

[hartistry1957]

One of the greatest match ups in history; 2 of the greatest

pugilists in modern times.

[theredferal]

this was one of the great under appreciated fights of all-time..

[supadupamcj]

If I had to put my money on sanchez or chavez in a fight, I'd put it on sanchez: he is a boxer-puncher while chavez is more of a straight-up brawler. sanchez can jab well, stick and move, dance on his feet a little, etc. chavez cuts off the ring and relies on brawling.

[hotspursnyper]

He don't rely on brawling, he can box well too with a solid jab. Watch him against gomez

[flyinghotwing]

no doubt sanchez was the classier all around boxer puncher of the two, chavez had a brilliant long career speciallzing in body blows and accumulated punishment, salvador also accumulated hurt on opponents with an amazing fluidity and conditioning, and also could brawl some, its a shame his career was cut short by abrubt death at 24 tho.

[mfbinc]

Nelson needed to fight at the top of his game to give this type of showing.....sanchez was unbeatable!

[crazynacho25]

Personally I think Sanchez would have beaten Chavez, just too versatile

[kalaslsl]

Awesome fight!

[lilbabyface0000]

the only won who could beat sanchez was robinson and not by tko/ko!

[flyinghotwing]

not really close in weights tho robinson was at his best at middle while sanchez was several divisions south of that

[Eomk10]

what a fight....both legends

[Canavariito]

@qweratthe123 hahahahahaha qsq haiga xD

[vergasocsar]

thanks for putting this video up. This was an awesome fight. nelson had some balls getting in there light that w/ sanchez

[xammed4444]

so it can observarque and it took only 4 rounds decipher style nelson and took control of the fight from that round alone pounding the precise

[soccerdog007]

If you look at the punches thrown; Nelson is landing clubbing punches while Sanchez is landing more strait, precise and accurate punches.

[kazooka2002]

so you're saying that clubbing punches it what was dominating sanchez throughout the fight?

[pilinqui]

what a great video. in my opinion this guy is one of the 3 best pure boxers in the history, and he had too much class, a legend!

[tentwo70]

I love youtube! First time I have ever seen this fight and with headphones, feels like I am there!

[AuldThwaite]

Thanks edtam this is superb quality. I am watching it now at two am as if it is live.

[chakoh1]

thanks edtam6 for uploading this classic of all time.

[carbert68]

Great fight! Sadly, this was Salvador's last performance before he died. He was gearing up to possibly face Arguello at lightweight.

[mrtvman]
