    The last few rounds of Leonard vs Duran. What a brutal fight!

    Fights 2 and 3 sort of muddled the brilliance of fight 1.

    Duran with an epic performance.

    Its rarely discussed on the general forum in comparison to Hearns vs Haggler or SRL vs Hearns.

    Duran-Leonard I is a better action fight than Leonard-Hearns I. Leonard-Hearns I wasn't even that good of an action fight, it was good because of the drama and amazing skill level.

    Hagler-Hearns was a terrific short fight, but not that much better than Duran-Leonard I.

    The only thing that I really didn't like much about Duran-Leonard I was that there was too much holding.

    I didn't see it as a big deal at all, considering they were always fighting.
