            Duran fell exactly like "Apollo Creed" did against "Ivan Drago". Wonder if Stallone did that on purpose.

                Demetrius Hopkins crushing Michael Warrick. He fell forward and didn't put out his arms to break his fall.

                Warning: I haven't seen Hearns-Duran or any of the older fights... I'm still a rookie.

                  You were brave saying that. If Mike wasn't so hurt after this fight, people would be calling it one of the greatest fights of all time.

                  Eubank even says its THE greatest fight ever, rating it over the Benn vs Eubank wars. That final uppercut that Watson took, after Eubank came off the canvas was literally career-ending stuff.

                  Definately life changing.


                  Edit: "It is the greatest performance of his life and the greatest performance of my life," said Chris Eubank. "
