I believe 100% that Duran won the first fight. I can't see it SRL's way.

But that being said, I think SRL lost because he fought a dumb fight because Duran got into his head.

Duran was a great fighter and I'm a big fan of his, but to me NOTHING excuses quitting in the ring like he did. People always try to make excuses for him, but to me there's no excuse for it. It was a disgrace to boxing. To quit because SRL was clowning him? Or because Duran had a tummy ache from making weight? Come on, man...

SRL was the better fighter. He proved it in that fight. If Duran wasn't in shape for it, tough shit, that's on him. A mark of a great fighter is that he always comes to his fights 100% prepared. If Duran didn't come prepared against a fighter the caliber of SRL, than he's an idiot and that is a serious mark on his career.
