Duran was such a smooth operator. He looks like he came out of the womb fighting. It looks so natural with nothing forced.

[@2vintage68]

I never get tired of watching this fight. What a slugfest it was. Duran proved once again that he is one of the greatest fighters who ever lived.

[@shuntavaisjohnson345]

Yes

[@RobertSmith-xz4cl]

Perhaps, the greatest😊​@shuntavaisjohnson345

[@nicolasbrana9580]

Imienso Duran.... Pero habria sido mejor un parejo ... Quizas.... Sin embargo una pelea historica... Una pelea durisima para los dos... Tremenda paciencia de Duran, capaz de re empiezar despues asaldos a favor de Iran...

Duran what a fighter, Barkley was brilliant as well they dont make em like that anymore legends of the ring.

[@realmmarque6906]

One of the best fights I've ever watched❤️

[@user-uo8yh9tb8g]

The last mountain the great Duran would climb came in this remarkable win at 37... round 11, wow.

[@ualrdyknowaitiz]

DUran is so relaxed in the ring, even though his facial expressions say otherwise lol

[@MakaveliRaider]

Lol but he was. If u watch many of his fights he always remains composed.

[@BoxerRick]

Controlled violence at its best. Duran was mean as a junk yard dog

[@Micky_841]

Duran boxing skills are timeless 🥊🤌🏻👌🏻

[@user-mn2cq1ep9r]

Roberto Duran a true all time great.

[@davepara1]

Duran, high ring IQ, beautiful head movement and counter-punching despite his advanced age.

[@MakaveliRaider]

And a great chin. He was tough as nails.

[@shuntavaisjohnson345]

Yes

[@johnjuarez8005]

Duran, one of the greatest fighters ever.

[@blove9199]

Duran Really had no business in there With Barkley.But of course this is how legends are made.

[@MrBonddaddy]

I remember this back in the day, great fight. Tough to score.

[@pablodiablo9178]

Great fight! A true classic!

[@LuisDonado]

I went to Duran's house in Panama while on vacation visiting my mom and took a picture with him and got a fist bump greeting by the champ. The same hand of stone that KO'd so many other great fighters.

[@carlosalonso6309]

What year? That's awesome.

[@timwright8785]

When Duran was at his best a warrior

[@jokesonyou1373]

What a fight!! Classic boxing match!!

[@punchy1325]

The best lightweight in the history of the sport

[@charlesrazo7246]

The greatest lightweight in the history of boxing and one of the pound, 4 pound greats

[@jerardnorgren3411]

At one point wasn't he 72-0 ? Loco

[@CC-ff7ft]

I only watched this great fight yesterday but hear i am again watching it as it's one of the best middleweight fights you'll see.

[@eduardcutamora683]

This is boxing. No running

[@dolphsantitho5301]

[@rgg7260]

Duran just outsmarted the great Barkley. Durans ring Intel, technic, generalship... really amazing...6xs I've watched this fight, at least...

[@lime455]

Duran had a great deal of experience over barkley and he was just that good. Barkley wasn't the best boxer but the size was plenty enough to close that gap differential.😅

[@jamiecarlin-KING]

@@lime455boxing funny mate if you actually do it, for example you don’t need to be the best boxer to win a boxing match. I don’t mean it quite that simple but if say 2 fighters came out to box, stick and move style. Nobody knows who’d win. Boxing is about the finer details the things you either got or not, nobody can teach Heart. It’s why I got brought up doing it- being honest I didn’t like it too much when I was forced out running in the cold and hated it. But what does everyone remember me for as a child Jamie the boxer

[@nolivalmonte5848]

Still thrilled watching boxing match of the legendary Roberto Duran a wordclass fighter from Panama. The hands of stone is truly amazing💪

[@edgardoanzieta9620]

quizás el combate más conmovedor de Durán?, por la diferencia de edad, peso, altura, envergadura, por su variedad de estrategia y táctica, de golpes, por la inteligencia para administrar fuerzas y peripecias...fue un reivindicación total, donde aunó belleza y coraje como nunca...y porque nadie creía ya a esas alturas y con semejante rival

[@jorgerueda1715]

1989, Y Durán lo volvió a lograr... 🤜🤛

[@kijisawako7592]

RDURAN is one of my best favorite boxers since 1980's knocking out big opponents just like our own MPacquiao.

[@DrCrabfingers]

This division is surely the king of all divisions. You just can't beat it for entertainment.

[@user-zo7mr3op8i]

Ever get involved in a street fight? You want Roberto Duran on your side.

[@johnniea4684]

In a documentary I watched about him he says he was not a boxer, but a fighter.

[@astar23_]

He would be one of the best street fighters

No rehydration clause or any stipulations a real GOAT.

[@dustylover100]

Not the same Duran, but still a force to be reckoned with.

[@dustylover100]

A younger Duran would have destroyed Barkley. The fact that Duran won clearly shows how great he was in one of boxing's golden ages. He, Hagler, Hearns and Leonard went at it. No ducking anyone.

[@carlosalonso6309]

​@@dustylover100Duran challenged the other 3. He was fearless.

[@josevalverde2263]

Roberto duran and Mike tyson-these two fighters when in good condition were unbeatable. They should have retired with no loss.

[@martysykes3221]

I agree with you 100%. When properly prepared, there was no better fighter than Roberto Duran!

[@waynemetzger6251]

Duran was incredible!!!!!!!!!

[@mettinkaytaz6106]

The Weight Difference on the Night 🌙 must've been HUGE, I mean there was 3 pounds ⚖ at the weigh in. Duran was NO 160lbs Fighter - nor 154lbs for that matter, the fact he competed at those weights 🏋‍♀️ is Amazing, the sheer Grit & Tenacity of the Man 👨 was well worth applauding indeed👌👏

[@ThePeterReyes]

And with no catch weight or rehydration clauses nonsense they do now a days to get a advantage to win.

[@mettinkaytaz6106]

@@ThePeterReyes Not to mention those Tinpot Alphabet bodies whom demand outrageous amount of cash from a Fighter's purse to defend their useless/worthless World Titles - at the same time they have the nerve to introduce "Interim" & "Super" of their Divisions as well, no wonder the normal guy on the street doesn't know sweet fuck all about Boxing, and thier Fighters

[@fonhollohan2908]

Out of all Boxers Duran was one of my all time favorite boxers. He was considered one of the Kings of boxing. Out of the four kings, Thomas Hearns, Marvelous Hagler, Sugar Ray leonard and Roberto Duran. Duran was my favorite. Not many achieved what these men achieved. And Roberto won five title championships. He wasn't called fists of stone for nothing! Remember Barkley was in his prime while Duran was considered to be at the end of his boxing career. also Duran was only 5' 7 " while Barkley was 6' 1"

[@JAG8691]

Duran had lost to Hearns by KO in the 2nd round in 1984 while Barkley had TKO"d Hearns in the 3rd round in 1988 and won by SD over 12 rounds in 1991 in a rematch 2 years after he had lost to Duran in 1989.

[@mateodemus1431]

it's actually a mismatch, I don't think the promoters had the right mind doing the contract, but Duran is a great fighter who was at the top of the game despite his age....

You got to realize Duran came in well under the 160 lb weight, and Barkley probably cut weight and put 10-15 lbs back on before the fight.

Oh my life....I've never seen this bout of boxing before. What an absolutely stunning fight. Surely one of the best 12 rounds ever. The result was fair I believe....both boxers were evenly matched, both fighting like their lives depended upon it. At the end Duran looks like he had a real workout...Barkley looks like he got beaten up.....and Duran put his man down....if the fight would go to the death, I think Duran would get the win. Incredible stamina by Duran.
