    How did Marvin decisively beat Duran?

    I don't believe that you've been a fight fan for 38 years.

    Some of the things you type out are bizarre.

    No, for the simple reason there was nothing 'amazingly technical' about the fight. Featured two skilled MW's, which has happened about a 100 times already.

    I`m heavily influenced by boxing film studies now I used to have a different out look on boxing but now I respect the sport so much more.

    He landed a lot more after struggling at first, Duran faded towards then end of the bout, I have started watching it again in small stages so that I have a more detailed insight into the fight.

    You can see guys like Sibson could not hit Marvin. Hearns hit Marvin but Hearns hit everyone. GGG is not as skillful as Marvin. Marvin was strong physically had a 75 inch reach and could go southpaw and righty and was good at both..
