    Leonard-Duran II. People that say Duran was weight-drained, unprepared and so on are talking ****. Leonard just had his number by then.

    The first fight was close and Duran benefited from that hellacious right he landed in the second round that put Leonard on ***** street for about four rounds after. But after that, Leonard was able to fight on even terms with Duran and, if he'd boxed more in the middle rounds would have pulled out the win.

    But what was impressive in the rematch was that he would box and slug with Duran, and he was better at it. He used his speed and skills to get round Duran's defence or punch with him. The guy's nerve was flawless.

    It was still a competitive fight with Duran getting his work in, but I get the feeling he knew Leonard was taking over and starting to hurt him. So he quit rather than take a beating.

    great fight though.

    duran was not prepared properly for the fight it has been said many times that leonard and his team were pretty smart to get a return fight so quickly it was a well known fact that duran partied very hard for a few months after their first fight and did not train with the same level of intensity for the rematch. not leonards fault he still got a pretty amazing win

    Some guy on FB sent me a link. Not the best pictures, but enough to see Cory bulldozed.

    Nkosinathi Joyi vs Raul Garcia - An entertaining battle, albeit a little one-sided. Joyi is an excellent fighter.

    Roman Gonzalez vs Yutaka Niida/Ivan Meneses - Gonzalez is a little powerhouse. Awesome fighter.
