Why is Duran looking at the ref in this gif?

yeah, he did seem distracted for a moment before getting nailed.

 

That looks almost Ortizish...:think

 

He even walked into the ring with a totally disinterested & bored expression, yer never knew what Duran would show up once he got into his party animal 30's. He said he thought Hearns was a chicken & did'nt rate him. I've only ever saw Duran in any form of shape at the higher weights & that was when he fought SRL in Montreal & Hagler & then Barkley, he only ever got in shape as to what he thought of the opponant. Real strange interesting clip that.

 

He was getting his ass whooped, he was probably out on his feet by then.

Sort of looks like a "Finish Him" moment from Mortal Kombat and Hearns performed his Fatality.

 

Hearns TKO2 Duran :deal

 

He was out of it already.

 

Hearns beats Duran, Barkley beats Hearns and Duran beats Barkley even knocked him down. Roberto Duran was the greatest fighter of all-time in his prime years. Too bad Mayweather and Pacquiao weren't around during his time. He would have destroyed both easily.

 

is that SRL jumping out of his seat in the background?

 

Maybe the one in dark blue behind the one in yellow.

 

Wish the gif was a lil longer

 

Duran was using the analogy if you dont look at the devil he cannt hurt you.

 

Duran acted strangely in that fight. That was the weirdest thing he did of course.

 

^^^^^

 

Because it was fixed.
