    I think it's spelled "Yvon" for a male.

    Durelle was underrated. He was a tough mofo and could have given plenty of guys problems.

    Edit: just looked at his record and its worse than I remember. Oh well, getting old I guess.

    One of the very best title fights in history and one that stands up to close scrutiny as a genuine great fight from the past, not just based on reputation alone.

    First fight I ever watched... my uncle sent me a tape of the fight as I was expressing an interest in boxing at a young age.

    I remember being in awe watching someone comeback from a sure defeat. I have been hooked from that very moment.

    Just rewatched it because of this thread. Yep, just as good as I remembered.

    Should be in any respectable list of the great world title fights in boxing history. I think it should be an automatic choice in any top 50 and would probably make my own top 20 without any difficulty.
