Go Baldwin! Where is he from with a name like that?! I felt that Nelson could have stopped Petkovic but was more inclined to pace the fight due to his lengthy incativity, maybe he didn't have 100% confidence in his conditioning. Maybe we could see Hlongwane-Nelson? 8)

So basically the total schooling and tutorage he suffered at the hands of Nelson, has softened him up for future opponents.
Did you consider it this way ?
I'm sure Johnny will be quaking in his boots at the prospect of facing another so called major prospect.

Isn't Nelson mooted to be fighting the Norweigan Thomas Hansvoll next? That could be a decent test for Johnny if it happens.

Steve,
Hansvoll is the mandatory, but nothing has been arranged yet.
