Well I suppose, but that's the case for every fight from every fighter if you really break it down. Topic for another thread I guess, "Really...
I still say what I said before, that Duran needed to reach deep down to previously untapped reserves and pull out a performance for the ages that...
Fair enough responses, well-reasoned, though I do disagree with some things...… For starters, I think he did just fine against Vito. He didn't...
