Duran v Leonard I was brawler v brawler, even though we think of Duran as an aggressive fighter and Leonard as a slick intelligent boxer.

 

I'd call this fight a case of the Matador getting caught between the Bulls' horns.

 

I dont think Duran-Leonard is a good example , Leonard was not a matador , he has been once or twice , but that was not his game throughout his career. And Duran wasnt a bull either, so much more than that.

You could say Leonard-Hearns 1 (it was in the later rounds)

Chavez-Taylor

Chavez-Camacho

 

Toney-Nunn.

If Hatton beats Maryweather, that one may be among the best examples.

 

Good call, that was a bull like performance for JC.

Another 1 was actually an obvious 1... Lamotta (the bronx bull) beating Robinson, the original matador.

A prediction? If so, I'll remember it --to heap praise (or derision) upon your head ...
