    Dejesus 2 and 3 were great, the 3rd was more of a boxing performance.
    He almost killed Bizarro after chasing him around for 10 rounds.
    Viruet was a chase. Lampkin was a WAR
    Which one was your favorite?

    DeJesus III was amazing. Saw that live on tv as a kid. Such a great mix of technique and ferocity by Duran.

    Dejesus III, Duran was almost at his peak as. a lightweight, a puncher who could box equals nightmare

    The combos he landed on Bizarro were epic. Lampkin KO was superb. Dejesus 2 and 3 were his best performances against the best opposition.
