Here yall, Sugar Ray leonard... Admitting he lost the fight, AND bonus... Admitting he cherry picked Duran for the rematch. Duran > Leonard. EVEN Sugar Ray Admits it. [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uan8RQyxCY[/url]
He's entitled to his opinion... But FWIW, Ray Leonard interviews have always been worthless (he's the most rehe****d, least candid man in boxing) and he's never been adept at scoring fights either...
Holy Cow. Wont even take it from the fighters own mouth.:-( Credit to Leonard for his honesty in this interview.
Bro...it's not like he's admitting that he lost some secret game of 1-on-1 basketball. I wonder if he ever even bothered scoring it himself...
No offense but you sound like you read way more boxing than you watch... If you watch fights you'll see that boxers often rely on their corners to tell them how they're doing (and even the corners are sometimes wrong). The idea that a fighter knows whether he won or loss a fight with many close rounds is fantasy.
I believe that you started watching boxing back then. But when did you stop? PS- I've been watching since the mid-to-late 80s (long enough)
So, Mrkool. You know more about the Duran / Leonard bout than... The judges, the majority of viewers AND the fighters themselves. ( Including their trainers and managers)
Why would I need to "know more" about a bout to disagree with the way other people score it? The judges obviously thought that it was a very close fight with many extremely close rounds. I have no idea how either fighter scored the fight, round by round (if they even bothered).
