    It has been a while since I watched this fight. Thank you very much for posting. One of the my first thoughts was that in today's boxing landscape the fight would have been stopped between the first and second first round knockdown. Moore showed stunning resiliency and by the end Durelle just had nothing left.

    Maybe but with a mandatory 8-count there might have been enough recovery that some of those knockdowns and accompanying damage wouldn’t have happened.

    But my lord what a fight.

    Arguably the greatest light-heavyweight title fight ever (neck and neck with Saad Muhammad-Lopez 2).
