Duran-Buchanan

[Violent Demise]

Duran at lightweight was such a joy to watch. It was great performance that is sadly over shadowed and remembered more for Buchanan's pathetic and shameless attempt to win the fight on a foul. Buchanan was a good fighter. But that's not what comes to mind first when his name is mentioned. First thing everybody remembers is his pitiful attempt to steal a fight he was getting his ass beat by claiming foul. It's unfortunate. But he has no one to blame but himself

Does anyone know what the scores were when it was stopped?

Aside from Duran being ahead I don't know what they were offically. I had it 9 rounds to 3 Duran going into the 13th. 10 to 3 scoring the 13th. Either way Duran wasn't losing barring a knock out. Something Buchanan knew he wasn't capable of doing. Which let to him looking for the way out

According to Boxing Illustrated the ref had it 8-3-1, the judges 9-2-1 and 8-3-1 Duran after twelve rounds. Buchanan needed a KO to win.

Buchanan was seriously hurt, so would you be if you were punched in the balls by Duran. Now faking would be Hopkins against Galzaghe and trying to milk it for all it is worth.

I don't doubt Buchanan was hurt. But most of that hurt came from the punishment Duran was inflicting on him since the fight started. The act he tried to pull out at the end was disgraceful
