After a gap of more years than I care to contemplate, I recently rewatched Leonard v. Duran 2. In my memory I saw it as Leonard floating like a butterfly and Duran getting sick of chasing him till he finally declared No Mas. Upon rewatching I see Leonard happy to wrestle and clinch-fight and Duran growing more competitive through the rounds till Leonard got in his head. It's not just that fight. Tyson v. Biggs I have watched probably a dozen times over the years, and in my memory Biggs ran away with the first round (I *always* have used this round as one piece of evidence for why I pick Ali over Tyson). Upon rewatching I see Tyson was *far* better in that round than I remembered. If I spent enough time on it I could probably make quite a list of fights that in truth were far different from my first impression especially (as opposed to a fight I've watched more than once). Canelo v. GGG leap to mind. Luckily, of course, we're no longer limited to watching a fight only once, but does anyone else find their memory chastened after rewatching a fight? Is it just my aging brain? Too many blows to the head?
That happens to me a lot! I cannot claim age or too many punches to the head, but I can, AND DO, claim too many pile drivers!
I made a mistake on this forum, and instead of writing Sugar Ray Leonard, I wrote Sugar Ray Robinson. Mistakes happen... Afterwards it was funny to me too. I laughed out loud when Mark Ant corrected me. Only then did I realize what I wrote
That happened to me the other day. I was talking about Joe Louis and i called him the bronze bomber instead of the brown bomber. Lol! Thats what alcohol does to me sometimes. Cant get my words straight. Lol!
I remembered Ray Leonard beating Marvin Hagler, but I discovered here that apparently Hagler won. There were a lot of witnesses who post on here who can attest to it, lol.
