Just how did Benitez beat Duran..And I believe Duran Fought a great fight!

Hey Southpaw! I'm a lefty too, boxed a little amateur but never could obtain that 'numbing' right hook. They should have converted me to a rightie.
We were so pissed off that afternoon when Mike beat Eddie. We felt he betrayed us with his preparation (or lack thereof). If you've read any of my posts, I tend to dwell on many fighters that 'could' have been much greater if their head was screwed on straight and Eddie surely fits that bill. Keep punching!

It's not revisionist history because those who do think it was close at the time of the stoppage are in the clear minority. And as I pointed out in my previous post, a competitive fight is not the same as a close one.




And you're citing age as if that alone determines a fighters prime? With Benitez, of all people? The guy who'd been boxing as a pro for six years by that age, and who had beaten Antonio Cervantes at 17?

 

Ice won out over fire...Benitez just had Duran's number. I think Wilfred was just brilliant that night.
