  • I really don't think this fight was that close, sugar ray fought courageously but Duran kicked his ass, if your gonna stand flat footed and trade with duran your gonna lose. I really think duran just dominated and everyone else just has sentiment for a young ray leonord. your boy lost this one....it was a learning experience for him now get over it

  • duran surely the greatest 135lber ever..he looked like teen wolf.

  • This was boxing. None of that bullshit that goes on today. The boxers signed a contract and fought.

  • MONTREAL

  • @Ricky42791 I agree pretty much completely. Love watching a prime Leonard get smacked around. Mostly I think though he learned to be a bitch. An incredibly talented, smart, tough, bitch. Like Tom Brady. Love watching them lose but cannot deny their amazing talent as much as I dislike them.

  • o_o

    

  • @bscottdp After the fight, SRLhad blood drained from his swollen ears and on the flight home, from Montreal to Airport near D.C., Leonard's physician insisted on emergency landing at Hershey, PA.for hospitilization for SRL. SRL was badly swollen, in severe pain and his Dr. suspected more internal bleeding. The Balto. Evening Sun ran photo of SRL leaving hospital. He was unrecognizable! The caption read: "Who is this man & did a stick of dynamite explode in his face?" SRL was beaten badly!

  • @rickyp4ever Excellent points about Duran winning covincingly and Leonard not being warned once by the referee for holding. A particularly bad instance of Leonard holding was in 14th round when SRL held Duran behind the neck, his head held down for a significant time when Leonard used an illegal 'bolo' punch. Oddly, Pacheco said that this was a "rarely seen, Kid Gavilan type punch"; in reality, it was holding and hitting.

    A foul which neither the referee nor commentators noted!

  • @davestheman4janice I think you need to STFU. Pacquiao is no Duran. Never will be. Mayweather would dispose of him.

    Don't even try comparing this fight, to that.

  • @Ronz93 your mom

  • Why this fight wasn't named the Fight of the Year for 1980 I'll never know

  • @Boxing2Die4 - Duran did indeed fight at that weight and he was absolutely useless at both light-heavyweight and supermiddleweight.

    Duran is a mile ahead of Tarver, pound for pound, but he wouldn't beat him at light-heavyweight, that's for sure.
