    Everybody else thought it was a close fight,but one that Duran won and deserved to do so.You don't have to wobble or stun your opponent for your punches to score.

    • Duran averaged 60 thrown punches per round and 21 connects, while Leonard averaged 50 thrown punches and 18 connects.
    • Duran was incorrectly announced in the ring as a majority decision winner. Italian judge Angelo Poletti's scorecard had been inaccurately tabulated as 147-147. After the mistake was discovered, the result was announced as a unanimous decision for Duran at the post-fight press conference. In rounds, judge Raymond Baldeyrou of France scored it 6-4-5, judge Harry Gibbs of England saw it 6-5-4, and Poletti had it 3-2-10. William Nack called Polatti's scorecard "a monument to indecision."
    • Unofficial AP scorecard: 144-141 Duran; unofficial New York Times scorecard: 144-142 Leonard.
    • Seems you're out on your own in your opinion here!

    I've seen the fight about ten times Duran won but it was a close competitive fight and Duran said so too!

    Haye vs Valuev come on we all know the great Nikolai Valuev was robbed of his victory, he won every round, he still goes down as an ATG we all know who the real winner was let’s not let it tarnish a great legacy of a historic figure

    I will add Azumeh Nelson over Jeff Fenech 2. Although Fenech is a not great in my opinion.
