Good Post....

Leonard did not hurt Duran...it was exactly that...Duran was frustrated...He wanted to fight and Ray wanted to box...Duran could not catch up with him and was plain out frustrated....you can even look at his face when he says it to the ref.....kind of like..."Well if this F**** is going to dance around all night I ain't chasing his ass down to fight...so the hell with it"...

Difference between Tommy and Ray was Tommy wanted to stand there and fight!!! he did not want to dance around....Too fast too strong....Too much Tommy for Duran
