Re: Nelson vs Wolgast, 100 year anniversary
Wolgast fought a smart fight.
In this one Nelson fought too fast, playing right into Wolgast's plan.
Wolgast actually beat Nelson in a 45-round scheduled fight--something thought impossible against Nelson, who was without question the greatest endurance fighter.
In this one Wolgast had just the right combination of qualities
and Nelson was somewhat downhill.
