I'll be honest I never knew that much about Rojas, and Venezuela isn't exactly a world hotbed of boxing champions, is it.I do know, however, that it was a pretty good fight, and Vazquez was a great champion. Unfortunately he ran into Naseem later on, but so did a lot of other good featherweights.

Re: This day in boxing. A look back.
I need to watch the full fight. It shows Leonard could mix it with a brutal Duran and give him a good fight.
Even in his loss Leonard showed his heart.

Watched the first 3 rounds. Leonard won the first with his boxing skills and great foot work but Duran battered and hurt Leonard in the 2nd with a left hook and carried it on in the 3rd round.
