Quite likely..I only saw it today.. Some of those fights involving Sugar Ray and Roberto Duran..Manitas de piedra..were brutal affairs..

Always one of my faves because he was a right handed southpaw - which is how I fought back in the day (although not as good lol)

That three round fight with Thomas Hearns - Holy Moley!!!!

Yes seems unbelievable, how fit they must have been and Hearns thought he had really fast hands before this battle.

A tribute to them both, as Harry said "I've never seen an opening round like this at any weight"!

Good post Zoon, I'd almost forgotten it!
