    What exactly happened?

    What happened in the third meeting between Sugar Ray Leonard and Roberto Duran. If anyone has it, I'd like to see it, but can anyone explain the fight to me? I was looking at Ray Leonard's record on boxrec and the decision looked very one sided.

    It was a boring lopsided decision for SRL. The crowd was even booing thm in that fight & SRL said in his corner "To hell with the crowd". Towards the end of the fight SRL decided to get in some exchanges with Duran & was cut I think from the punches that Duran landed. Overall boring fight though.

      SRL danced away to a win. Duran went in there to fight and SRL was smart not to. Else...it would have been like their first fight with Duran winning.

      I was much younger then and that fight made me dislike SRL. But now, I'm older and know about strategy and tactics, it was a smart move on Ray's part. I still like SRL....again.

        ya that was a very boring fight, but sugar was very smart in not mixing it up too much.
