From the NYTIMES article someone posted earlier:
Leonard is the W.B.C. super-middleweight champion; Duran is the W.B.C. middleweight titleholder. Both titles will be at stake, but the match will be fought at the 160-pound middleweight limit.Comment

well, from other sources...it was only for the mw wbc belt......
so which is true?....here: leonard fought few more times and there was never a fight concerning him defending a smw title.....
so that means, your source is flawed.....Comment

Boxrec has that fight as being for the WBC Super Middle strap. Same as many other sites/sources.Comment
