Notes

  • Prince Naseem looks slow and out of shape as he beats Manuel Calvo on points.
  • Hamed won the fight by clear margins, but looked as if he was on the decline.
  • Fans booed the performance and many of them left before the fight was over.
  • Per Wikipedia's entry on Hamed: " In a post-fight interview with Ian Darke, Hamed assured a quick return to the ring, which ultimately never happened. Hamed was just 28 years old when he stopped fighting. For years, Hamed did not confirm whether he had retired or not; there were talks of several fights in the UK and in the US, including Hamed's brother and manager, Riath, speaking to HBO about a potential fight with Michael Brodie. In an interview for BBC Radio Sportsweek, Hamed said that his retirement was largely due to chronic problems with his hands, including multiple fractures as well as surgery." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naseem_Hamed#Final_fight_vs._Calvo
