Another close one for Duran. No problem with the draw, but one day he will actually get a win in a close fight. At least it isn't a loss, I suppose....

4th draw in the last 5 fights, with only one draw before that. I think my theory of Duran losing some steam near the end of the season might be valid.

Seriously? Whitaker has never been off his feet all season, he's WINNING the fight, and with 3 seconds left in the round the Ref stops it?

Sorta Smells like Chavez Taylor....except Whitaker was further ahead of Armstrong than Taylor was on Chavez......Whitaker has been more prone to cuts this season than he was in real life as well.


Pernell....probably the best Jr Welter of all time....AND the worst of luck of all time. Sim is like life. lol
