What I'm asking, I follow.
Roberto Duran, considered
by many to be the best boxer pound for
pound of all time.
That's a statement you often heard in
boxing circles in the late 70s.
And then the unforgettable no fiasco.
Duran abruptly quitting well in the ring
against Sugar Ray Leonard back in 1980.
Little did he know that that event would
scar his incredible career to the degree
that it has.
In the months that followed.
He was disowned by friends, fans
and former followers.
He lost a manager, a couple of trainers
and a handful of Bush league fights.
Promoters said he was through.
But now, some three years later, a
rejuvenated rededicated Duran has
surfaced following impressive wins
over Pepino Cuevas and former junior
middleweight champ Davey More.
Duran is gunning for an all time record
fourth title in four different weight
classes yet because
he might have heavily that he's in
better shape than ever.
If that is true, Duran has a legitimate
chance of winning that record fourth
title. But it will not be easy.
He must first get by the champ, the
man who has held the title since 1980,
Marvelous Marvin Hagler and all
odds at present point to Haggler as the
best bet.
Aside from being a three to one favorite,
he has an eight inch reach advantage
and is three years younger, just reaching
his prime at age 29.
You are awfully laid back for a guy
that's about to play his biggest fight
ever.
Well, I'm not trying to let anything
around me here, you know, because you've
got to keep your composure.
You know, I think that's basically what
the world is hoping that I do.
You know, so he has the upper hand, but
you can't give him that.
I think maybe the pressure may be on a
little, too. As he gets closer to the
say, I'm on a mission right now.
My mission is to destroy
her.
I try not to
go round by tick all
haggler, haggler and attempt
marvelous. Marv is going to take you ran
and won to Tyrann by knockout.
It has been said that champion Marvin
Hagler is finally getting a chance to
fight for the respectability he has
looked for for so long.
On the other hand, Panama's Roberto Duran
is fighting for his life.
That will be the key here at Caesar's
Palace this Thursday night.
Gives it a little importance here, but
adamant does. Yes, that's right.
Yes. He say that this is the
fight of his life.
He is fighting for his life.
And because I think he's doing
this for his could be his last fight,
logically, I would have to lean
to haggler, very frankly, because
of this whole magical element.
You got to lean to Darren.
On balance, I really
don't know.
