I gave Sugar Ray Leonard a lot of credit for this fight. Leonard was doing what he normally did in the ring, but Leonard's timing was often so off that Norris just kept hitting Leonard throughout the contest. Leonard in his prime was often able to avoid those hard jabs and shots. The classic ring-rust finally got to Leonard and Terry Norris was too good of a youthful fighter simply exposing Leonard's age in the ring. I gave Leonard a lot of props during this fight. He kept going despite knowing full well that he was not going to beat such a young, raw superior boxer.

Being a huge Ray Leonard fan, this is the first time I've ever had the heart to watch the highlights of this fight. Even as a gassed fighter well beyond his prime, I'm struck by how he hung in there and continued to land combinations even though they were hugely ineffective by the 11th and 12th rounds. It wasn't as bad as I imagined although there was a moment in the 11th where Ray looked like he was ready to give up. Understandable but heartbreaking to see. Well, it seems like all the greats fight a few fights too many, not believing they've lost it.

One of the reasons Sugar Ray got so rusty by the time he was 33(relatively still young) was because he would spar hard during sessions, which takes a lot out of a fighter. He also did not keep himself in peak shape during his 2 year retirement, which is the worst thing for a boxer. Ray needed to take a few tune up fights after that long layoff. Not even Ali fought for the title right away after his 3 year layoff. George Foreman was out of the ring for about 10 years and fought a bunch of tune up fights before challenging Holyfield for the title .Ring rust is why he lost this fight. He would commit the same mistake with Macho Camacho.

Norris was a very good boxer, and a great fighter. He was crazy aggressive, and that cost him a few times - and it cost him a lot after his career was over. Ray was too far past his prime here to take on Terry Norris. The spirit was willing, but the body just couldn't do what it used to. Looking at how many times he looked completely spent and ready to quit, only to come back with a good offensive flurry it really is mind boggling. You can tell that he's battling exhaustion as much as he is Terry Norris here. There are several times that it looks like he wants to quit, but he just won't let himself do it. Maybe it was the memory of how bitter the victory over Duran was when he quit that pushed him on. Who knows? But this fight is a testament to what a competitor he was.

Leonard was a lot of fun to watch. He was quick and had a lot of energy, good coipition . We got to see a lot of Great fighters in the 70’s & 80’s. It’s hard to pick a favorite. Ali brought big pay to sports, people would pay- hoping to see him get beat for his mouth a confident attitude.

Ray was cherry picking as usual. Terry was an up and coming fighter who had lost a couple and Ray was confident he could look good against someone who had been bombed by Jackson. Wanting no part of Julian at the time and knowing damn well he wasn’t going to give Marvin a second shot after that cheeseball decision they gave Ray the first time. So Ray got worked by the kid he thought he could take while cowardly avoiding the Hagler rematch. Made my day when Ray got worked over by Terry.

Norris was never more than a very flawed fighter. His resume is underwhelming. Leonard was/is a bit overrated. He lost to prime Duran, he lost to Hagler, He lost in rematch to Hearns. Ray does have notable wins over fantastic fighters. He was great but still overrated.
