They yet again put it in Duran's ass again in a fight against Leonard......just disgusted.

Has Pernell ever been really beaten? It always takes blind judges, or overly sensitive referee's to do the job that his opponent can not accomplish.


He's had a good run....and never been truly whupped. But judges and refs have been his downfall.


That was a paper cut they stopped that fight over.


My three favs at this weight class are Duran, Leonard and Whitaker. In just about that order.
