    References to "No Mas" in Pop Culture.

    Being one of the most infamous fights in the history of boxing, there are many references to the Leonard-Duran II fight in pop culture.

    -In the episode "Sweet And Sour Victory" of the TV show Sabrina: The Teenage Witch there is a scene where Sabrina Spellman fights her biology teacher Mr. Poole and beats him soundly, forcing him to quit, saying, "No más! No más!"

    -In the song "One Minute Man (Remix)" by Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliot featuring Jay-Z and Ludacris, Jay-Z says "I'm here to hit you then quit you in the middle of the round like I'm Roberto Duran. No Mas!"

    -In the video game NBA Street Vol. 2, if the player constantly shakes the defense, the game's DJ will say: "No más! No más!! That's what the defense is saying!" as part of his comedic commentary.

    -In the Law & Order nineteenth season premiere, "Rumble", the police are investigating whether a participant in a street fight tapped out and thereby withdrew his consent to the fight. A witness to a street fight claims that one of the fighters "pulled a Roberto Duran": "no mas, no mas, he gave up."

    - In The Weekenders episode "Dead Ringer", Tino refuses to practice horseshoes anymore by wearily groaning 'No mas, no mas!' In the movie The Lord of War Yuri Orlov (played by Nicolas Cage), kneels in front of the TV during Gorbachev's speech and says, "The Cold War, the Soviet Union, the Evil Empire. Mikhail's saying "no mas". He's throwing in the towel. It's over."

    Id be so pissed if i was Duran. Anyone no of any more? i actually remember the one from "lord of war" im tryna find that jay z song aswell to see when he says it.

        On the fourth episode of season four of Justified, Rayland says, "...All I remember is watching Sugar Ray Leonard take down Roberto Duran with a bolo punch."

        The worst part of this is that it didn't even happen, but I thought this was relevant to the post. Great observations, man. Pop culture is garbage in a lot of ways, predominantly because it spreads lies that morons take for granted as true and ignorance abounds and then these cretins end up on here and have to get corrected. I'm sure Duran doesn't care, but the amount of hate he gets over that is ridiculous and no other fighter has been hated so much for bowing out of a fight. I bet he wouldn't have done it if he could go back in time.
