Just you. Duran earned it. And I think Taylor's jab would rip open all the scar tissue around Barkley's eyes forcing a mid round stoppage
i thought barkley won quite alot of early rounds duran knocked him down in 11th but if i remember right ill have to watch it again barkley won 12 th round and in my eyes that was enough i think american commentators thought barkley won aswell
I could make a case for Barkley winning. Either way I don't think many people had a problem with Duran winning. That knock down was huge. It might of left a lasting impression on the judges

i had no problem with it mate it was close fight and yes i agree knockdown probably did leave lasting impression even though i had barkley winning it was great fight and duran done extremely well especially that left hook he took in 8 th round i think it was that hook almost turned his head right around i dont know how he stood up

and i also agree with taylor winning on cut stoppage barkleys weakness was that he cut very easily look at hearns fight only after 2 rounds he had cuts on both eyes if i remember right
Most definately, Duran nearly took Barkley's head off in the first round, but yes the knockdown done it!

And all this at age 37!

Unbelievable.
