    This is an awesome fight. I bought it about a year ago with my Hagler DVD collection and wasn't let down one bit. Kobayashi was no pushover either

    Saw it a while back, it is the one where Duran finishes him off with a 4 piece straight combination on Kobayashi against the ropes. Kobayashi was a very, very good fighter himself, albeit more at Featherweight. Very slick, skilled boxer with good finishing ability and stamina, and the always prideful Japanese heart. Duran beat another top notch, uber-slick Featherweight fighter in Ernesto Marcel, a very underrated win as well on his resume. Very capable fighters the both of them, Marcel even handily outboxing a young Alexis Arguello.

    Knowing this background info just makes you further appreciate Duran's performances and skills at this time in his career.
