The hype that preceded the fourth edition of the Azumah Nelson Fight Night was centered around the legend’s 21-year-old son who was had been billed to fight on the night.
The hundreds of boxing fans who thronged to the Bukom Boxing Arena on Saturday night arrived with the expectation that the Boxing Professor’s son will display boxing skills that will bring back memories of Azumah’s illustrious boxing career.
But Junior’s performance on the night was quite underwhelming.
With the crowd and confidence on his side, Azumah Nelson Junior started the three-round amateur Lightweight bout against Prosper Dzidzor on a very bright note.
He landed some heavy punches and showed outstanding defensive artistry which was greeted with applause by the crowd.
But the performance dropped in the second and third round. Dzidzor took over the bout and gave a good account of himself.
He went hard at the legend’s son who seemed to have no antidote to the relentless punches.
Dzidzor went all out and on one occasion, knocked him down.
After the three rounds of boxing, the judges scored the bout 2-1 in favor of Azumah Nelson Junior.
Much to the chagrin of Dzizdor and an overwhelming majority of the crowd who were of the view that Dzidzor deserved to be crowned the winner of the contest.
Azumah Nelson Junior has extended his boxing record to 6-0-0.
