    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

    Dejesus III was just masterful. Really was as good as it gets

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