Most humiliating fight for a fighter

Jones wasn't Jones anymore... it must be said

 

Site still doesn't work

REED- by all means start that thread it'd be a really interesting discussion. A 'fights influenced by rings bigger than regulation size' thread might be awfully short though.....Duran-Leonard II.....?

 

fixed

Leonard was flat out sprinting for most of that round and acting like a bitch in a ridiculously gigantic ring, even against a Duran that was clearly not at his best due to the date Leonard (deliberately) picked for the fight.

When both fighters met at their best, it was Duran that outfought Leonard and handed him his first loss. A lightweight moved up to 147 and bullied and beat up the welterweight king.. the only reason that's not humiliating is because that lightweight was Duran.

 

Duran lost because of the ring. ::

 

Loaded have retina, loaded have cornea, loaded have been touched by the light

 

Have you actually seen the fight?

 

Based on his Duran Postings, Loaded Have MYOPIA Too....




REED

 

It was a large but regular 21 ft ring, and in the seventh round Leonard's back doesn't even touch the ropes

 

loaded is a true believer. He has turned again and his sins have been blotted.

I suppose it's possible but i'm not an ophthalmologist. loaded should get checked for it, scan the doctor's report and post it here.

 

What about Khan's KO losses at the hands of Garcia and Prescott?

He became a laughing stock after both of those.

 

cambell vs peden 1 ointlaugh:

 

There was a rematch clause in the contract for the first fight in the event Leonard lost. This was typical of Leonard. I had an article from a defunct boxing magazine (I think it was KO) where Leonard was interviewed while preparing for the rematch. When questioned about the immediate rematch clause from the first bout and why make the rematch so soon, Leonard's answer was, "I don't want anything bad to happen to him before he can fight me again. I mean he can have an accident and never fight again and I could not live with that." When the interviewer then stated that Duran had the reputation to balloon in weight between fights and that he will spend most of his training just losing weight, Leonard's answer was, "Yeah, I heard that too" and winked.

 

Either Way, if Duran Truly WASN'T Prepared for the RE, he Could've "Hurt" his Hand or Suffered a "Cut" in Sparring, to POSTPONE the Fight...

The Notion that Leonard FORCED Duran Into the RE, Before he was Ready, is BULLSHIT...



REED

 

It doesn't matter if Duran was or wasn't 100% prepared for the rematch bout. The truth is that he beat Leonard the first time ONLY because Leonard fought the wrong fight out of his comfort zone style. Once Leonard fought as Leonard was known to do, Duran had almost zero chances to beat him again.

 

That is such fucking bullshit^

I detest that boxing LIE

It is fucking repugnant

 

:: that was pretty good, I must admit

but this is better

Joppy vs Duran was humiliating for Joppy since he had to share the ring with such a quitter

 

Complete cat shit.

 

exactly

Mabe its because Duran hurt him early when he was trying to outmacho him, but Leonard was uncharacteristically immobile in this fight.

Interestingly, you can argue that Duran won the first fight because he was able to get inside Leonard head by acting rudely toward him and his relatives (which made Leonard fight the wrong fight). But Leonard was able to threw the table around a few months later and gave Duran one of the worst mental rape in boxing history.

 

Gettin knocked unconscious by ottke must qualify. and I aint referring to gattis hermano

 

So you bought the 'stomach cramps' excuse for Duran's being completely dominated in the rematch?:boohoo:

 

Yet the RING Excuse is Valid???...



REED

 

Which do you think is more impressive, Duran beating Leonard from pillar to post in the 2nd round in Montreal, or Leonard acting like a pugilistic Andy Dick in the rematch?

 

I truly enjoyed the first fight a lot, but unfortunately all that historians mostly remember about the Leonard-Duran trilogy is the 'No Mas' bout.

 

Classic Duran Fan EXAGGERATION...

Duran STAGGERED Leonard for Sure & CLEARLY Won the Round, but he DIDN'T Drop Him...Your Quote Suggests it was a 10-8 Round, Which it Most Certainly WASN'T...
