Duran that night would have beaten Sugar Ray no matter how he fought I think. It might have been an even easier decision for Duran if Leonard had tried to run because Duran would have cut him off all night and forced him on the ropes. Leonard did really well in the first fight when they were brawling in the middle of the ring, it was along the ropes he got in trouble.
For the rematch, Leonard admits that he made the fight as quickly as possible knowing Duran was out of shape and had been partying too much. Duran was simply not going to be the same fighter. Combine that with the strategy Leonard employed and you saw why Leonard was one of the best strategists both in the ring and out of it ever.
