What do you think the "No Mas" reveal might be in the new "Hands of Stone" movie?

I opt for your third scenario.

I can get why he wanted to quit...

 

More excuses from Duran, I'd imagine.

 

Its simple,he was being outboxed and made to look foolish so he quit,im a huge Duran fan but thats the answer,the film will prob gloss over it..

 

Arse all torn to shreds from a night of intense dry fisting with his Panamanian homies, thus badly impairing ability to walk about properly and " cut off the ring" which will be wittily refered to both in boxing terms and slang for holding in a ****.

 

Duran fought Leonard's fight.

 

If Tarentino makes the film, I expect to see big, techincolor fountains of diarrhea in the scene.

That's how he rolls.

 

If the director ignores the fact that Duran, knowing the date of the scheduled re-match, decided to party like Mick Jagger, eat like Minnesota Fats and drink like a great white shark--and given the director's remarks, he does appear to be ignoring all that drinking and partying and eating--then there's no reason to see the movie. We have a saying in the Marine infantry: "Easy to be hard, hard to be smart." The truth is, however, that sometimes it's easy to be smart. For instance, when you've just taken the belt from Sugar Ray Leonard in Montreal in the summer and you know you have to fight him again, in the fall, it's easy to be smart. The smart thing to do is hammer down and assume nothing and train like Marciano. And now it's your belt to keep. What would Marciano do, in those circumstances? What would Joe Louis do? Right, Marciano, Louis, Sugar Ray Robinson, et. al, well, they never blew off their training and blew up, between title fights. That's one big reason they kept their belts. Duran did it to himself. Damn shame, because he had well-proven, in Montreal, that he had the skills, will, conditioning and desire to defeat Sugar Ray Leonard. Duran forced Leonard to fight his fight in Montreal and Duran did that, primarily, because he had fire in the belly, he trained for Montreal like a man on fire. But when you spend 6-8 weeks just getting down from 203 to 147, as Duran did for the re-match in New Orleans, the chances of defeating as talented and determined and smart fighter as Leonard decline in a very big way. What that director, apparently, is never going to ask Duran is, "Why didn't you train, starting from August 1st, hard-core, full-bore, like Marciano? Why didn't you learn from the champions of the past? Why didn't you run 6-9 miles a day, in boots? Why didn't you put on a weighted vest, stand in a pool with your head above water, and throw punches underwater for five minutes at a stretch, one minute rest, for a total of 30 minutes, minimum? Why didn't you hit the heavy bag for an hour, every other day, with a sauna suit on?" Guaranteed, if Duran had the fire in the belly like Marciano and Joe Louis and Sugar Ray Robinson had fire in the belly, he either knocks out Leonard in New Orleans or wins on unanimous decision. But Leonard, quite obviously, had the fire in the belly for New Orleans, Leonard did not miss a day of training between Montreal and New Orleans. The director ought to look real hard at that, too.

 

He would improv a song for each person, with a little story about how they came to be.

 

This ought to be a moral tale of "Pride & Arrogance" good old fashioned HUBRIS. A punishment from the gods.

With regard to Duran we are not dealing with what you can compare to a normal human being when you take his background into consideration juxtaposed with a nieve & trusting persona with those who he viewed as father figuer's in his life, boxing & personal & here we have Carlos Eleta who is on record as stating that they'd lost "Control" of Duran & thought it prudent to cash out before some bum beat him.

But Duran was such a trusting & generous individual that he never for a split second would doubt the intentions of those closest to him would have an ulterior motive other than that of what was best for himself. This 2nd fight is a lesson in life to all when overwhelmed by pride & arrogance who like "Icurus" disobeyed instructions & came down to earth with a crash.

It's a simple moral tale of life in general & boxing is littered with them, Mike Tyson being the glaring example. It should follow all of the above juxtaposed with trust & betrayal. Whose gonna play the part of the devil here in Don King?

 

Don King is funny, he showed the K2 brothers his piano skills trying to get them sign a contract.
Vitali saw the keys moved on their own so they didn't trust him.
