Well to be frank no. A rubber match is when two fighters have fought twice with both fighters claiming a victory. The third and usually final match is called the rubber match. If Fenech wins tonight we would still have two more fights left to prove who the better fighter is. As it stands at the moment clearly Nelson is the better man with 2 wins to nil.

I have been watching some footage of Fenech’s previous fights and I had forgotten how horrible his fighting style is. His fights are dead set head-butt-athons. He stands in front of his opponent pushing his head as close to theirs as he can and sways side to side trying to land left and rights. Not pretty but I guess it was effective throughout his career.

Fenech seems to put in the hard yards and has lost over 42 pounds in preparations for the fight. Nelson on the other hand has been pretty quite in his preparations and will se the results tonight.

I for one cannot justify the money to get this fight on PPV. The fact that the TAB hasn’t even got a market up for the fight speaks volumes as to potential quality and legitimacy of the event.
