    Duran getting the win in that one would have upped his ATG's status, slightly. Considering his age at the time of the fight. It would have been the win which stood out the most, post Barkley.

    As it is, MOST fans give Duran the overall nod for that fight with Camacho in '96.:happy

    Had those three ****** Judges, Moretti, Giamp and Roth learned how to score a round correctly, Duran should have had 2, 10-8 rounds, going ino the 12th, which he also won. He would have been ahead at LEAST 116-112.:fire

    You're overdoing it. And Moretti, Giampi, and Roth are pretty solid judges.

    Stones, I gave Duran the edge by a close shave.. I'll credit Camacho for his speed and flashy punches, but Duran landed some good thunder midway in the bout and until the end of 12 rds.... Duran won on my card by a couple of points.... Peace...:good

    If I run into any of the three gay-asses in Vegas, they will be wearing my beer on their expensive suits, bought by "shady" money.

    Duran had good body tone in 1996 at 157 pounds....... It was his best look since he fought Vinny Paz in 1994, but Duran was too heavy at 163 in that initial 'Paz' fight.... Prior to the Pazienza fight of '94, it was against Ray Leonard in 1989 at 158 pounds. However, Duran, like Braxton against Spinks in '83, displayed little to no fire power at all against SRL.... Cheerio...

    EXTRA:

    Duran's "Runner Up" was against Jorge Castro in Panama in 1997....

    Seeing into this old thread and about to score back the old fight,let me handle my own opinion...
    I don't see any problems with people thinking Camacho won,but the problem was the scorecards,the judges made it looks like Camacho won on a blowout while the fight was thinner than his bangs.
    I had Duràn winning despite the fact it's an ancient scorecard.
    I think Duràn appears quite in shape for this fight,both the Paz fights(although he was more fresh for the first fight)and the Robbie fight, he's just kind of old and small,and with the bouts Duràn had participated with his destructive lifestyle it's apparent that he's all burnt out from the fights.

    Wouldnt Leonard-Duran 4 be a bigger event than Camacho-Leonard thus the judges be paid to give Camachio-Duran 1 to Duran instead?

    Qawi hurt Spinks in round 14 and scored a questionable knockdown with a body punch in what were 15 exciting rounds....

    Hard to say probably, Leonard was still enjoying retirement,he had almost no need at the time and was getting washed up with father time,with his talents going away too.
    Duràn was definitely more of a paycheck fighter later on,but he came to the Camacho fight with some more dedication.

    Paz got beat up by Duran in the first bout. Vinny did alot of nothing.

    I think both the Camacho-Duran I and Paz-Duran I fights need a re-scoring from Drenlou.
