Duran vs Antuofermo 1980

Tony KO's him too. Vito's cutting problem would not serve him well in this one.

 

Who said he was a great middleweight? :huh

 

I've only seen a few of Antuofermo's fights but I thought he looked very average. I had the first Hagler fight 12-3 (roughly) in favour of Hagler. I think Duran has the speed and mobility to win a wide points decision, unless the judges are blind, as they were in the first Hagler fight.

 

I had that wide for Marvelous too. Although I think Antuofermo was a fine champion and very tough fellow.

 

Sounds about right to me.

 

Duran several classes above the talented, under rated Vito ... Duran by decision or a cuts stoppage ...

 

Duran against a middleweight? Easy, Duran. He edged the Hagler fight but was robbed due to reverse-racism and Barkley was Monzon re-incarnate. 1980 is Montreal, 'the city that never needs a poo' territory and he'd of been very close to SSJ1

Add Antuo to the list of MW's Duran would slay(or general forum is one up)...

Benn
Eubank
Mclellan
Calzaghe
Toney
Antuofermo

 

Im quite sure duran would not beat calzaghe.
Now 'canadian snow plough' manos de piedra is another matter.
1980 ko 1981+! :smoke

 

I agree, Pachilles. Duran got robbed. Duran won. IMO he won the first five and in the final five he won the 1st 3. There were no KD's or ****.

 

Duran by clear decision ..

 

Duran was faster, a better boxer and had much superior punching leverage. Inside, Vito would have his superior physical strength and conditioning neutralized until after El Cholo clinched the scoring. [I don't like projecting outcomes on cuts, so I'll grant Antuofermo the benefit of a doubt here.]

 

Duran outboxes Antuofermo to win a decision clearly. Vito makes a very good late run but not soon enough to cancel out Roberto's lead.
