MMA compares now, especially considering the mix of arts involved, but boxing at its *peak* back in the GOLDEN age of the sport... I agree, just ridiculous. I mean c'mon just look at this fight. And Davey Moore isn't really even a name known to casual fans, but WHAT a phenomenal *athlete* as well as warrior, and practitioner of the the extraordinary martial art known as boxing - which is essentially the supreme artistry of *fisticuffs*. He's here just competing in an all time great fight against an all time great fighter in Duran, but this is almost typical stuff of the golden age, when boxers looked like superhumans in all of these ultra-skilled, tactical/strategic all-out WARS of powerful, fast, precision shots being MASTERFULLY traded back and forth in BEAUTIFUL combinations in a give and take competition at the highest level ever seen/recorded between two men (or women)

Roberto Duran was a monster this night, but Davey Moore was a great fighter who fought his heart out too. RIP champ!

[@goognamgoognw6637]

True, Moore showed well how great he was in this fight his inside hook and slugs look very vicious to contend with and actually very intimidating to see him doing that in action, but what can I say, Roberto Duran is not in that class, his skills are extremely high and diversified and natural. Moore had no chance. He actually fought well just like Barkeley fought extremely well the best fight of his career against Duran (the live commentators acknowledged said it all the way during the fight in progress) but they both faced a much superior fighter in Duran. Duran only enemy was not on the ring it was his love of food and partying.

I’ve watched this fight at least 10 times. It was plain to see that Duran knew he was going to win this fight in the third round. His body attack in this fight was ferocious and anyone could plainly see it was hurting Moore badly. At 32, this, in my opinion, was Duran’s greatest performance. There will never be another fighter like Roberto Duran. What a great fight this was, so entertaining. Duran was born to fight and what a great fighter he was......maybe the greatest fighter ever!!!

[@milojanis4901]

This is one of the most thorough ass kickings I've ever seen. It is also one of the finest, if not THE finest, displays I've ever seen of an experienced, brutal guy who LOVES to fight, who's a legend in the ring, schooling someone with a superior body with an inexperienced head. I actually felt bad for Moore. Duran never lost his tremendous right hand as he moved up in weight. What he did lose was the ability to land it effectively. When he destroyed Moore, it pissed off Moore's buddy, Iran Barkley. Barkley wanted Duran real bad. But his style, and Moore's style, are exactly what Duran wants in an opponent. It's not a coincidence that he floored Moore, and then Barkley. Barkley was more experienced than Moore, and gave Duran a bit more trouble. Those who disagree about Duran's right hand power, take a look at the Moore knockdown. Duran hit him so hard, Moore slid a couple feet backwards after Duran sat him flat on his ass. The only reason Leonard lost to Duran was because he fought the same way as Moore and Barkley. They're ALL mighty lucky they didn't run into a 26 year old Duran......

[@goognamgoognw6637]

Haha good overall analysis. Duran skills in defense are incredible so are his offensive countering skills. What he does he so superior that it cannot be learned even by other legend boxers and some tried. I consider his style of boxing the only true and highest form of this art. The whole outboxing school i believe is a lesser art, it's not engaging and is more of a ponctual hit and run premeditation it does not involve the highly natural skills of Duran boxing in constant reaction to the opponent movement and making incredibly good choice in real time constantly. He is in my view the best ever boxer i have seen in a video, with only SRR might have been another great but a doubt remains because his young years where he was at its peak were before the filming age. You have the this whole class of american black boxers who develop those impressive bodies by they're actually not great fighters. There's several generation of united statians who don't understand what the highest skill in boxing are. It's not Leonard outside dancing with dasking display of single attacks, it does not have the fighting mind skills that Roberto Duran true fighting boxing has. I am convinced that Leonard actually knows and agree with this, and all true boxers know that Duran is a class above them. If Leonard had trust his outside boxing style was more respectable then he would not have tried to fight Duran as he did and lost in fight 1, already knocked out almost on 2nd round. Duran lost in Fight 2 only because it was a few months later and he didn't keep fit and ate and partied while Leonard humiliated by his loss did the exact opposite.

[@goognamgoognw6637]

Typical bad comment failing to recognize Duran's extremely highly talented skills. A lot of people fail to recognize how incredible Duran's defense is, and how incredible his countering and opportunistic offense is. He does not make any move that isn't adapted to his opponent or with a true purpose or calculated deceit, extremely effective and efficient. He slips punches constantly in a way that shouldn't be possible. That is the reality. You fail to see how high his skills are. It's got nothing to do with being relentless or vicious, for such a high skill, he simply cannot be stopped, it's pure virtuso skilled fighting. The highest type of boxing. You're completely wrong about Duran.

Of course I recognize Duran's amazing defense, his ability to avoid getting hit while also getting his shots in. However, he does get hit by big shots from Moore multiple times. Both things can be true. The difference is, Duran takes less hits and doesn't get affected, or at least doesn't show it, while Moore gets broken down by consistent body shots.

They ignorantly attribute his wins to their false impression that the win came from being vicious, animal, relentless. That is a cunning way to discredit him as saying "yeah he won but that isn't proper boxing". In their mind they're stuck to boxing being only a limited set of boxing skills from the outside. I already have that discussion with some who look down on Duran and think you have to copy Ali like Leonard who brought nothing new to boxing to be great. They just say Duran is just a tricky brawler and that is total bs. There are natural high skills in Duran that are sublime and that they don't even see. Leonard knew it and knew he couldn't learn those skills, he wanted to show he didn't need them and that he could win without his bunny rabbit constantly escaping away style and flirting with the judges with fake fighting, But he could not. He got beaten flat, already almost knocked down on 2nd round. He saw it was sublime skills Duran had. Not a matter of being "relentless" as you put it. The 2nd fight can be forgotten since Duran had put 20 kilos in the few months between the fights, partied and didnt train. He was still 10 kilos overweight a few weeks before the fight. He was doomed to loose by his own fault, not by leonard boxing from the outside.

[@egdapa]

@@goognamgoognw6637 Fair enough, but you can be skillfully relentless. They are not mutually exclusive qualities. In the second round, Duran gets hit by at least three big shots from Moore, about a minute in, then two minutes into the round, and finally at the bell. Every time he comes right back or turns an angle and throws big shots of his own, as if nothing happened, as if to make a point to demoralize his opponent. In a word, relentless.

[@goognamgoognw6637]

@@egdapa That's true, and i recognize i was overzealous "relentless" is justified although still misleading but you also said vicious. He isn't, he is just effective with high skills. I have never seen Duran being dirty in boxing, or enjoying hurting an opponent, what he enjoyed is winning and defeating the opponent. It's not the same.

Another complete bullshit comment. You don't understand how highly skilled Duran was. This is extremely high and advanced skills, not mere "tricks" as you put it. This man has more skills than many legends put together. The higher level the more difficult it is to copy a man And the impression of him being relentless is a false perception .Nobody can be relentless without being a superior expert, or they would get stopped and punished for it very quickly. Surely Moore's boxing style is perfect for stopping a pressure boxer, he's got hard punishing inside hooks and body slugs, but Duran skills are so high that he can neutralize all of it. What happens in this fight is that Moore used all his tools all his abilities and it was not even enough to slow down his demise against the overwhelmingly superiority of Roberto Duran.

You miss a lot of great fights of Duran in his prime..

[@wtfgebeurdmij2991]

I think roberto duran was the best fighter. In terms of being a complete package. I mean come on, its like he was built specifically to be a fighter. Mike tyson, nice to look at. Great student. But he doesnt have the brain duran had. He would probably not be champion without cus d amato. Ali often remembered as the greatest but he left his biggest impression on the world as a personality not a fighter. Thats what made him so great. As a fighter he just took way to much damage and his style was so bad for himself that he broke his brain. Sugar ray leonard, he was a showman flirting with the judges was his priority. He also lacked his own style, everything was copied from ali. He won a lot of fights that he should not have won by being a showman. he brought in the money so it worked. He is however a very smart and good boxer. Tommy hearns, he was a great boxer but he had enough flaws. Footwork, glass chin,bad balance, not able to adapt mid fight. Without his freakish natural reach/height i doubt he would be able to reach the top. Hagler, one of the few fighters who actually comes really close to roberto duran. But he missed the star factor! roberto had so many talents, including charisma. i think he just edges it in the complete package. Imagine if roberto duran was actually dedicated to training between fights like hagler 😮 There are way more fantastic fighters, many guys come close. I think its hard to deny floyd mayweather as one who shares almost the same skillset as roberto. But his style is almost cheating. its just a little bit less impressive than duran. Floyds family had also given floyd a huge headstart, the style was already created for floyd. Duran had all this talent and created his entire style himself. And ofcourse some people will look at the records and say he doesnt have the best record. Well actually, if records are really that important to you, his record was amazing as well, he was 72 -1 before his second loss in the downhill of his career. He just really loved fighting so kept going until he was an old man. Floyd really loved money and points so he kept going till he surpassed the record of rocky marciano with 1 fight 😂 Roberto duran, he is as good as it gets when we are talking boxing! If records showed the best fighters, joe calzaghe, rocky marciano and floyd mayweather would be the best of all time.

[@goognamgoognw6637]

@@wtfgebeurdmij2991 I was in total agreement with your review of top fighters until you got to floyd mayweather, who was a fraud, how dare you even say he had anything in common with Roberto Duran. That is disgraceful. Mayweather devoted his entire boxing career at running away from opponents (also refusing fights). The exact opposite of Roberto Duran who constantly engaged his opponents on the ring and with hundreds real solid punches landed, Mayweather always disengaged and played bunny rabbit. He was looking for a well calculated 2 or 3 at the most landed punches in a fight while spending the rest of the time without fighting (which requires skills but it's an inferior skill). He is the biggest disgrace to the art of boxing and has nothing in common with any champion. I don't care how many wins he had and how many judges he influenced and paid, he did not box his opponents !! Just remember that boxing is a sport with rules and these rules have flaws that weren't exposed until mayweather came. Mayweather hated boxing he literally said so and his goal was making a business out of it and money, taking care of all the non sporting side of it, like venues, % of proceeds his side demanded to accept a fight ( he demanded 80% and only allowed 20% to pacquiao's side). Just think of the lowest boxer you've seen on TV, well i would still seriously argue that he is a better boxer than Mayweather because he fought while M didn't. The rule of boxing should have been updated to penalize non engaging boxers like M. who caused boring bouts. The only reason he lasted is he was so easy to hate and his personality so polarizing and he used pretext of racism to market himself too (like Ali but with a different spin) he produced interest and revenue that way. Still the same, this is NOT boxing. He was a disgrace and significantly lowered my view of the sport.

Roberto Duran, only man to defeat Ray Leonard in his prime, and the only fighter to go the distance w/ Hagler in a title fight until Ray Leonard, spurred on by Durans performance and motivated even further by a candid conversation w/ Duran after the fight w/ Hagler "I just got tired Ray" did it himself. the irony in the Hagler fight is that Duran was ahead on 2 of the 3 cards after round 12. "I just got tired Ray"..... Duran s career is like no other in history. To really put things in perspective, Duran's early televised fights are in "Black and White".... . Hearn's and Leonard were in high school, "literally" when Roberto won his first world title vs Ken Buchanan. Duran's fights w/ Ernesto Marcel, Ken Buchanan, Esteban DeJesus, {3 times}, Carlos Palomino Ray Leonard, Pipino Cuevas, Davey Moore, Marvin Hagler and Iran Barkley are all among the greatest fights in boxing history. Thats "8" great fighters at least 5 of whom are in the Boxing Hall of Fame. Duran who wont titles in 4 different weight divisions and skipped the Jr Welter title jumping up to fight Ray at 147 ! There's NO way anyone would debate whether or not Duran would have beaten Saoul Mamby for the Jr Welter title, no one who knows boxing from that period at least.... Pacquiao may have belts in more weight classes, but do you think he's better than Duran?!...A fair question... ME I love them all. They are all Hero's to me. But I grew up w/ Duran and Ali, so they are "my" guys ! and frankly, you watch those Duran fights and you wanna know who you see at ringside?!...."EVERYONE" who was "anyone" among the elite of that era....Ali, Frazier, Bob Foster, George Foreman, Gerry Quarry, DURAN was "THE" man. We're talking about a man who went "8/eight" YEARS without a loss !....... And finally, not to put too fine point on it, beating Ray in Montreal was the first time a lightweight had defeated a welter for a title in 42 years.....

What a fight ❤❤❤

[@paleamigo8575]

Relentless body attack from Duran from the opening bell! Moores' corner was worthless for letting him go out for the 8th round. No one should be looking out for you more than your own corner.

[@johncohen222]

Moore himself said years later that he should have stayed in his corner after the third round. That beating was barbaric and his corner kept sending him out for even more punishment. The referee failed to act as well. Moore could easily have died from a beating like that. Incompetent doesn't even come close to describing the actions of the referee and Moore's corner. I would describe it as criminally sadistic.

@@johncohen222 I just read Moore's Wikipedia page. Apparently, he was managed by the UK mob, which demanded the fight to make money betting on Duran. If only those sickening shysters were in the ring taking the beating Moore did. They deserved it. He didn't.

@@johncohen222 thats not his fault obviously. As a fighter he did the right thing. The corner should've sorted the rest out.

🙏💡 What Great boxer Roberto Duran was HANDS Of STONE 🤩 I had the Honor of meeting him twice and he was such a nice man 🙏 So kind

[@scottodonnell7121]

Troy, maybe seemed nice. But let's not forget his hatred of America, it's people and our military.

[@KK-lg8uz]

theres nothing quite like seeing Duran in the trenches, up close fighting. My favourite style. Technical pressure fighting

[@MattStevens9824]

Duran's body work at 32 is a thing of beauty. Damn. it's like a stab and you can see Moore's body shuddering on impact. Body shots so strong, it was moving Moore from his position. By the 7th, it all bit sapped his stamina.

[@henchlol1247]

People don’t give enough credit on how wicked some of the shots Moore landed on Duran were

[@luisfunez5982]

It is a incredible fight of the history. Awoseme.

[@LarS1963]

Oh my, I feel so old. :D I watched this with my old man, and my older sister walked in. She looked on for a bit and said something like: 'That doesn't look so good for the big guy.' And right she was!
