Roberto Duran Vs. Paul Thorn

[@jollyjim8083]

Paul showed a lot of courage in this fight. He has become a great inspirational musician with an amazing band. Go see him if he comes your way, you will not be disappointed. I saw him for the first time a few weeks ago and it was the best concert I'd seen in 20 years.

[@danavictoria100]

Talk about being a thorn in his side...lol He gave it his best, that's all ya can do. Im just glad Paul Thorn found his real calling, cause his music is awesome!!! He's one hillarious dude! I hope to meet him someday! He sings a song about this fight called,"I'd rather be a hammer, than a nail" lol He says that is what Roberto Duran said to him after the fight. lol

[@tubetea]

I have tickets to my fourth Paul Thorn Band concert in less than a year, in two weeks.

[@danavictoria100]

wow, really? He is coming to Florida in Oct. Maybe I can go. I think he's great. You have a great time and sing your heart out!!! lol He's so funny too...lol he's honest anyway. lol

[@tubetea]

Dana Bause It was a great show, the whole band was there and they did all acoustic this time. It was at the House of Blues here in Houston, a couple of weeks later Robin Trower was there, that was a great show also.

[@danavictoria100]

Robin Trower, lol, didnt expect to hear that name ! I listen to my brothers albums from time to time....he had one Trower album. I like all kinds of music myself....even big band music, which I heard growing up . You know the folks were in a good mood if they were dancing to the big bands.lol Most of the music these days is garbage. Ever notice the eygyptian themed music videos or like the superbowl halftime shows....its all satanic symbolism. Real crap! If you havent noticed it...watch next time you see one.

[@tubetea]

Dana Bause --Trower is 70 years old!!! You should listen to his new cd, he's as good as ever, he has a new singer who's almost good as James Dewar, I was pretty bummed when Dewar died but Trower always has the best singers.

[@ginnywaller4806]

Paul, I've been listening to your music and your stories for close to 15 years. Your music resonates in my soul, it inspires me, makes me smile, puts me in a good mood, each and every song! Especially Turnip Greens and Butter My Biscuit! You are a tough SOB, you held your own, big time in that boxing ring! I must say though that I would never have recognized you!!! You look nothing like this at all!!! You have definitely gotten better looking with age!!! Don't get me wrong, nothing against your 22 year old self, but your 52 year self, fine as frog hair! Your wife is a lucky lady!!! I'm glad he didn't mess up that handsome face too bad! It has had a good 30 years to heal!!! Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God. Your amazing! I can't say enough good stuff about you! Thank you for: I Have a Good Day Every Now and Then, Where Was I When You Stopped Loving Me?,Temporarily Forever Mine and of course That's Life!!!! You would have no way of knowing this but those songs got me through an abusive relationship, a messy divorce and a depression I wouldn't wish on anyone. Thank you!!! I'm crying as I'm typing this, damn it! Thanks for being you!!!!

He don’t get on here 🤣

[@perfectfan2006]

this was like a mississippi tough man contest ,,, paul is a man's man and you will not stop him ever..

[@Bruins-vq5ey]

Was stopped here

[@whitehurstcomic]

I’m a boxing fan, but his music brought me here.

[@tacogillespie4561]

I see the "Heart of a Lion" when I watch Paul Thorn, whether he fights or sings. I tip my hat to his courage.

[@scottallen4223]

That skinny boy got hands

[@rogercollins6153]

That was a great job on a hall of fame fighter. U have nothing to feel bad about. And I love yyour music !!!!!!

[@curtgunn7437]

paul was a damn good fighter.. I was a sparring partner for him in preparation for this fight.. duran was still one of the top 10 fighters in this weight class and paul gave him all he wanted...pauls power was incredible

[@jaybrock6770]

curt gunn what year was this

[@richardfolkman]

Paul Thorn was fighting Mr.Duran when he was working his way out of being overweight. Thorn didn't give anybody all he wanted or was he incredible. You have to be kidding.

[@markdrury1087]

Richard Folkman, Paul Thorn is still incredible and very relevant. He even got a decent song out of this fight.

[@LM_357]

@@richardfolkman Duran looked in good shape. Credit to thorn for going 6 with the legend

[@thomassimons1310]

I was shuffling my Pandora and puddering in the yard !Pauls song came on where he tells the story of this Fight, I've listen to him For years and saw that fight on TV.But came in and watched it for the first time since seeing on TV! You are a Hell of a Talent Pickin,Punchin,Singin . You are a all around Bad Ass!

[@drywallguy1963]

Man, Paul, my wife turned me on to your music. I LOVE it! Had no idea you were a boxer till I listened to your "Best of" album tonight. So, of course, I HAD to find this video. I don't know man, 6 rds with Duran? That's saying something. PLUS, cut his eye! Like you said, I'd be pretty proud of that too! lol. Keep Rockin'!

[@davidromulus8182]

Glad Paul lost because I love his songs. He did put up a fight. I am proud to have met this man. He is as down to earth as a person can be. It's was a great day for him to whoop somebody's ass🤣😂

[@Reynoldss3]

Dude, I appreciate your ring skills and damn sure enjoy all of your music.

[@forrestpope1559]

Respect to Thorn. A man's man right there.

[@commonsensedefense]

Paul is one singer-songwriter that I wouldn't want pissed at me, that's for sure. His music is great. We cover several of his songs.

[@bunkman64]

+Roy Alderman I met him a couple of week ago after his concert at Skippers Smokehouse in Tampa. He was the nicest guy, very approachable and polite. Always had time to answer questions and pose for photos. You are correct. I bet he could throw down at the drop of a hat if need be. I have a cover of "If I can get over her" on here as well. A little rusty. I hadn't picked up my guitar or sang for a while. Hope you will check it out. Enjoy!

[@patgray435]

My mom interviewed Paul and told me to check out this vid

[@Bruins-vq5ey]

Great?

[@tonyvstony7]

2 fights later, Duran beats Barkley.

[@Jpeterson7]

I met him in Chicago when he was preparing for Jeff Lanas, the fight before Barkley. Very nice guy in person.

[@mavenofmacau6391]

@@Jpeterson7 love Duran but straight facts, Barkley won that fight by a point or 2. has to be said.

I Just Love Paul He Can Sit Here Talk To Me All Day Long I'd Be So Happy , Even Happier To Gear Him Talking Singing Would Be The Highlight Of My Life ..

I Can't Get Enough Of Paul Thorn He's My Kind Of Feller God Bless You Your Family Always 🎤🎸🎶🗝️❤️🏆💞😘

[@richardspeace]

you have to be a amazing athlete hard hitter yourself , to get that shot at the title, he is one amazing man in the ring and 10 years later he is a darn good singer and entertainer what 's next the movies.

[@TheRycooder]

Awesome Job Paul, and you're amazing singer

[@NHindividualist]

Ref looked like he'd just butchered a hog. Paul Thorn is a hella better singer than Duran, though.

[@dirtycaine]

🤣

[@rickbackous1041]

Great showing for a singer songwriter in the boxing ring against a world champion. I know Roberto was older and not in his world champion form but that was still one hell of a showing. Paul has some interview shows on KZbin called Paul Thorn Tales and Ales. Check it out.

[@perfectfan2006]

paul has always been a humble winner and a gracious loser truly a nice guy and honest sportsmen.. maybe the last of the good guys ..

[@christinerodamer1923]

I AM HOPELESSLY IN LOVE WITH PAUL THORN!

[@debbiemcwilliams2789]

Chris R. Me too, Heather is a lucky woman 😍

[@DKDiddley]

1988. Duran was on the comebacke and after beatingThorn he went on to beat Barkley for a world title in 1989.

[@ROBINANNGOINES]

Paul Thorn did a awesome job in that boxing match... Regardless of the winner he stayed in up to the second. Great job Paul :)

[@jbr7300]

According to Paul, they rode together in the same ambulance to the hospital that night ✌🏼

[@robertg56a]

I was at this fight. Blood flying all over. Brutal.

[@SoundOfFreedom35]

It’s a great day!!!!!

[@joebrowne9217]

I'm gobsmacked. Really.? Is it the singer...!? Kudos to any man that would step in with Duran...

[@JavierJimenez-zy7it]

Gano a este muchacho un veterano como Duran...si viera tenido la misma edad no le aguantaría ni dos asaltos...

Ahh yes... the night ''Hands of Stone'' was cut by 'Paws of Thorn' Congratulations Paul, you conducted yourself like a pro! Best of luck with your singer/songwriter career!

[@rd1550]

It's a brutal sport, Duran at any age is daunting. Paul had the tools, he needed time. The disparity in rounds is a huge factor, he was close. Duran knew Paul could put him on queer street.

[@pitbulllaw7772]

Not bad at all, like the music and now the combat

[@msgriffin1986]

What year is this?

[@swamppappy7745]

Paul 'spaghetti-legs' Thorn vs The mountain of a man, Roberto Duran. Much respect fighting him. You should write a song about him?
