Your scorecard on Duran-Leonard I?

You know my team is the 1 you hate!!

 

I know. I was being nice. Make the most of it. :good

 

Duran also looked fatigued during the closing stages. He was blowing a bit. I don't necassarily believe he stepped off the gas because he believed the fight was in the bag. Leonard got another wind and closed the show.

Duran deserved the decision. Better defense, more varied work, and the heavy punches he landed throughout the fight were better than Leonard's.

 

I had Duran winning by 1 round, a bunch of the rounds i scored were even. Leonard fought the wrong type of fight, durans prefight antics got to his head. In the rematch leonard fought the right type of fight, and we all know what happened. Duran was a very smart fighter, he knew the best chance he had at beating leonard was forcing a brawl, and he conned leonard into it.

 

You do have a compassionate side then!

 

Celtic FC all the way. McGrain's a good tim as well.

 

Celtic? We shared the greatest player of all-time - Kenny Dalglish!!! Im a liverpool fan!!

 

I don't know if we have the rounds the same? But I watched it again last night (after seeing this thread) and scored it 8-7 or 143-142...which is comparably low in light of the judges...they each had 4+ rds. scored even. I found 3 rds extremely close, but still felt i could give the nod (2 of 3 to Duran) to one over the other. Duran clearly controlled the early action (2-4) winning almost one-sided rounds...but nothing that warrented a 10-8 rd in my book.

 

That's pretty close to my card as well, but I gave the nod to leonard in rd one (very close as you said) and rd 7 to Duran and 14 to Leonard...

 

I like Duran but don't see anyway he even came close to winning the 15th????

 

In virtue of Ray Leonard holding Duran's head and still missing that bolo punch

No seriously, I just went and rewatched it, I think Duran was landing the cleaner shots there. Leonard was more desperate and was putting more into his shots, but other than some good hard body shots and the odd nice head shot, he was missing a hell of a lot in there. I can't reward him for effort, I think Duran was landing nice shots up stairs and downstairs, even if many of them didn't have the sting that Leonard's shots did.

I could probably be persuaded into thinking it was an even round, but I don't see Leonard winning it.

 

I also had Duran winning the 14th round, and the fight, by a margin of 144-143.

 

I had Duran by a round, very close fight.

 

Duran whooped that ass, The second time I watched it I has Duran more or less schooling him.

 

I was well surprised reading this thread I always have Duran winning at least 10-5
