    I have not watched in a while but I had the fight even then Hagler pulled it out with 2 rds I forget my score but Im guessing 9-6 still I was very suprised at they way Duran at that stage and moving up from lightweight at an advanced age held his own with Marvin...it was the infighting

    Marvin won the bout with eze. Duran put in a good fight, but I cannot see how anyone can score it for Duran or even close.

    Still a massive mystery for me how anyone can think this bout was close.

    No. I had it 10-4-1.

    The judges around this time were swayed by Duran, the scorecards were also ridiculously close when he fought Benitez.
