    Durans right hand is a thing of beauty.

    Great great fight from both men. This was Duran's last great night in the ring although he did fight on for a hundred more years for some reason.

    The old man did post some good performances after that though. Quite simply, one of the greats...

    I watch this fight a lot...one of my favorite fights from my favorite fighter.

    And Iran needs to get his kudos to, he made this a great fight aswell and arguably won.

    There'll never be another Robert Duran - they definately broke the mould.
