I promised my brother I would invite him to this fight thinking it would be held at Ceasars Palace in Las Vegas (we live in Calif. 1 hr away by plane). Went to buy tickets and found out it was going to be held in Montreal, Canada - WTF!!! I bought 4 very expensive front row tickets and when we got to Chicago we missed our connecting flight and they said there's no way we can make it now. Tried to charter a single engine or twin engine plane and they said no way you'll get there on time unless u charter a lear jet, so we did. We had 4 front row tickets and there was NO WAY we were going to miss that fight. Turned out to be EXTREMELY expensive but since we were Roberto Duran's fans it was worth every penny. I know, who gives a fuck but I'll never forget this fight and what we went through to get there. At least he won which made it all worth it!!!

Ramiro Guerrero In those days I enjoyed going to fights so I had been to a few good fights but this one was by far the best one because he won. Went to go see Alexis Arguello vs Aron Pryor in Miami but he lost so ended up being a bummer. I remember in the Duran fight by the 12th round we all had our buzz on so we began to stand on the chairs screaming like crazy. We all pretty much ended up with hoarse throats (lol). Had a super good time and took lots of photos. I'll never forget it!

But he went after the big money and moved up.Many boxing analysts consider Duran the best in fighter ever. He was so skilled in areas regular fans don’t recognize. The only fight I paid to see. Never paid again because I knew that fight could never be topped. Leonard, to his credit, said it was the hardest he was ever hit consistently over 15 rounds.

Both of these men went on to become top 5 ATGs, and we have the privilege to watch them fight in their primes, with no asterisks surrounding the match regarding weight problems, gloves, ring size etc. Just 15 rounds of fury. The greatest boxing match of all time.

This was Duran's peak--he fought with an almost maniacal fury the entire fight. IMHO he would never again match this level of performance. Duran approached this fight like Joe Frazier approached his fight against Ali in March 1971. It was more than a fight to those men. It became a CRUSADE! They were both ready to die in that ring if they had to-that's how badly they wanted to win. Duran in this fight and Frazier in 71' simply weren't going to be beaten on those nights!!

Duran was one of the greatest fighters of all time, if you look at it. If you look at the history, you will see that he simply did not get the recognition that he deserved. He was truly an underrated fighter, probably because he was not American, and the media especially focused more on the American Fighters back then. Also because, since he was not American, then the media wanted everybody in the United States to remember him as the No Mas fighter. Since I was a kid, I admit that I was one of the ones who saw him that way for a long time, until I educated myself about him and found out how many fights he had which was a lot and also reviewing his career. He fought some of the best fighters of the time, always went the distance and never really got hurt, even when he lost. Te saludo, manos de piedra!

Duran was feinting beautifully here. This is a master class in street fighting mixed with some VERY savvy and effective inside game. Duran at 29 here still had that mongoose split second timing that made him so effective. For this fight Duran was in SPARTAN condition against one of the best fighters this United States has produced in Ray Leonard. Duran is the ONLY man to defeat Leonard at his absolute prime. Duran when DISCIPLINED and focused, was truly a marvel of aggression, boxing , subtle defense, killer instinct and heavy,punishing hitting. A natural born, fearless fighter. His classic third fight with Estaban Dejesus was a clinic in disciplined agression and Counter punching. As he aged and moved up in weight, the speed was not quite the same and his punches though hurtful, did not ROCK the bigger fighters such as Hagler, Robbie Simms, Iran Barkley (though he did drop Barkley)and several others. What did remain constant was his fearlessness, heart and ring smarts accumulated over 80 something fights. I see this same fighting spirit in Manny Pacquiao today. Win,lose or draw ,real fighters with the street in them on many levels. Much respect to Hands of Stone, Manos de piedras!

It was a great era for boxing. I was 21 in 1980 and had witnessed the heavyweight battles of the 70's which were epic. Now here comes the welterweight class with first-rate boxers like Sugar Ray and Roberto Duran. I had no way of knowing that it would end. UFC is ok but the art of boxing is somehow finer. Beating another boxer with fists only seems more courageous and manly.

Duran is everything they say he is and more. He’s the greatest lightweight ever. He’s a top 20 welterweight. Aside from Ali, Duran''s the best fighter of the 70s. He’s one of the best underdog fighters ever. He has 3 of the best performances I have ever witnessed vs Ray Leonard, Carlos Palomino and Hector Thompson. He’s one of the best defensive fighters ever. He’s the best defensive fighter I have ever seen in an AGGRESSIVE FIGHTER. He’s one of the best infighters ever. He’s one of the best counter punchers ever. He’s one of the strongest fighters ever for his size. He has a great chin. He’s a great puncher. He’s the best Latino fighter ever.

I've watched this fight more times than I can count, and I'll probably watch it more times again than I can count. Hands down, the best fight I ever saw. I'll add one other observation. Duran wasn't just in the top four or five fighters whoever lived, but the greatest all around athlete of his generation. He normally fought with his mouth open, which is almost always a sign that a fighter is tired, but that wasn't the case with Duran. It's like he had a set of lungs running an air intake like a muscle car, and he never got tired even by the last round until he was pushing 40.

Most of people here don't like big mouth dudes like he was at that time. So at least 75% of the crowd were chearing for Duran and he new that and he was extremely motivated and was the agressor. SRL did make the fatal mistake of boxing toe to toe with Duran probably to show him he was not affraid but in the other hand, Duran did'nt give him much choice to fight that way, he was relentless running after him all night long. For all of us in the stands it was simply incredible, the atmosphere were electric from 30 mins before de fight till the end.

BigBoy 5.56mm yeah but the original comment said “no one in this class today” and this fight was at welterweight so he’s referring to the Crawfords, Errol Spences etc

1:01:22 the sound those punches make even with the audience screaming is incredible.

Incredible fight. One of the best fights of all-time. But that one commentator (not Ferdi Pacheko) keeps shouting "Oh, he's got (insert either Duran or Leonard name here) hurt!" - and they were NOT hurt. The guy was an overemotional moron.

Every time I watch this fight it looks closer and closer.....Leonard stood toe to toe and gave just as much as he took. I dont get people that say this was a complete Duran dominance. The fight was constantly back and forth.

Sr la atraccion era leonar ya no tenia rival con su dura pegada y su super velocidad y no habia perdido pelea medallista en oro a todos los fulminaba x esto se le da el credito a roberto. No xq a todo el mundo le dio ganas de afamar a duran xq este duran le boxeo lo hacia fallar y le metio los mejores golpes entonces de que hablamos mas leonar era su peso neto duran no el subio. 5 años mas viejo que el moreno que usted quiere que diga su duran estaba peleando en contra de la primera potencia alli habia mucha lana .mas el poder divino lo Alumbro

man what a fight i get goosebumps watching those later rounds, neither man willing to budge, these were the golden days of boxing when men had pride and a sense of dignity and respect they deserve, two legends here
