Young Pipino Cuevas destroys Angel Espada

He always says that after a rough fight. That same attitude almost made him end his career after the Rodriguez and first Duran fights. in fact, he said the same thing after the Howard fight. Funny I didnt hear him mention it after the hagler fight which only goes to prove my point he couldnt deal with the immense speed of Norris. He simply didnt have the experience

 

No, that's a war.

The one doctors diagnosed him with in '82.

Why?

 

You can't use the very point you're trying to prove as proof of the point you're trying to prove. atsch :roll:

 

The people at the forefront (as well as every other front) agreed Leonard-Duran I was a war. Nice job of shooting yourself in the foot.

 

I see Rooster still getting totally schooled

 

What people? Name them?

Face it, Duran was coasting during some middle to late rounds. leonard was trying to play catch up with a man having superior stamina and superior skills. Leonard an all time great tho. # 40 for me

 

you must be high on something

 

As you wish:

"In one of the most eagerly anticipated battles of the ring, Leonard defended against former lightweight champion Roberto Duran. The two rivals tested wills in Montreal on June 20, 1980 in a furious 15-round war."

Why would a fighter with great stamina feel the need to slow the pace in a fight you claim was already slow paced?? :huhatsch:nut

I know what you said. And you didn't answer my question: WHY would a fighter with great stamina look to coast in a fight you claim was slow paced to begin with??

Or do you now agree with your man Steve Farhood that the fight was a War? :deal

Why not? Hearns, Duran, Andy Price, and Roger Stafford all survived it just fine.

 

I answered it but your mind isnt capable of processing the message is seems. Seek professional help

 

No you didn't.

Again, the question:

Your response:

There is no reference to the EARLY ROUNDS in your response, which was the focus of my question.

Are you now acknowledging that the early rounds were indeed a War, contrary to what you previously tried to claim? :think

Because my mind follows logic, unlike your posts.

 

I'm too busy seeking your response to Steve Farhood's quote on Leonard-Duran. When can I expect it? :deal

 

Steve Farhood's description of the middle to late rounds:

"Leonard fought back furiously, producing enough toe-to-toe exchanges to fill a Hollywood western."


Oops... :yep
