Not sure if this is true, but this is what is said in the comments...
"Sugar Ray Leonard had just recovered from eye surgery and agreed to the exhibition boxing match aboard a cruise ship on the condition that he would not be hit around the left eye. The guy hit him on the left eye"
"Steve had put a heavy bet on Duran to beat Ray in their first bout, that’s why Ray lost his mind here,
Further to this, later on Steve bet for Duran in the ‘no mas’ fight .. needless to say, Rays and Steve are friends again.. even though Steve’s liver has never been the same ever since after 2 transplants ( first was botched) aall true"
When you're in there with Ray and there are rules to engagement, you need to obey the rules of engagement. Those body shots were brutal. Body shots hurt really badly. Just take my word on that.
