Elite featherweight matchups
Just watching Sanchez-Nelson. Great fight. It's a shame, you don't hear crowds cheering like that nowadays. I love the fifteenth where Nelson is banging away with both hands, literally going all-out with Sanchez on the ropes, but Sanchez just punches through him and wins the war of attrition. Nelson looked like a different man by the end of the fight, his eye, and seemingly also his forehead, was badly swollen. Next thing you know, Nelson is all wobbly. Sanchez continues to potshot him until Nelson's legs go completely. It's these sort of showings from Sanchez which make me think he could beat Armstrong - not that Nelson was as good as Armstrong, but he was great fighter in his own right. Sanchez showed he could deal with that kind of assault.
