Tragic what happened to Davey Moore. He was a tremendous fighter and a credit to Boxing. Duran the greatest living fighter today. They showed so much dignity in this interview.
Both were great no one can take away any respect from anyone who puts on boxing gloves, respect to those boxers of the past who were cheated from their wages 27:44
Dirtiest fighter ever. He went in head, shoulders, forearms, elbows, heaving, shoving, leaning, rabbit punching, blindside punches. Duran did not complain once! He just punished. Moore was beaten by the 4th. He knew it. Duran knew it. The knockdown has to be one of THE classiest punches in all boxing history. Maybe the fight should have been stopped there. Duran is, for me (and many fight fans) the greatest BOXER of all time.
Agreed 100%. But - in the words of the late local Chicago boxing trainer Primo LaCassa - "Having a lotta heart is great. But sometimes having a lotta heart only gets you killed." Peace and RIP Davey Moore.
God I loved Davey he was a hot flashy champion think he underestimated Duran another brother that the Cuvas fight should have been a real warning! So true I would have wore some glasses too if I got stomped like that! I would have just said yo he got me
I always loved RD and his many incarnations...the unbeatable lightweight champion, his peak vs SRL in Montreal, his fall and this redemption...the veteran stylist who beat Iran Barkley at 37 and the remarkable fighter who was only stopped by injury sustained in a car accident forcing him to retire as he approached 50 years of age! One observation from this video...Roberto looked 30 pounds heavier in the studio than he did a week earlier in the fight! His face is hugely swollen! Hands of Stone knew how to paaaaatay!
Haven't seen this fight for years, don't know what's gonna happen precisely, but by the end of Rd 4, Moore looks done. Has nothing left. That's the way it looks to me now. Time to keep watching.
Davey more believe it or not fought the best fight of his career in this fight. He fought really well but Duran far to much experience!! And a different caliber of fighter. Young Davey more the young Lion at that time was to tough and to game for his won good but eh he’s a champion and he went down like one (RIP) Davey you was a top talent and a good world champion 🥊. Roberto Duran one of the all time greats in the sport of Boxing 👍🥊
My Lord why did his manager let him go out after the six round the seventh round Duran was so brutal he dropped Moore that ref really dogged Davey Duran threw him into the corner like a rag doll after the bell sounded damb oww!
Duran's skills and toughness were most evident when fighting bigger stronger fighters like Davey Moore or Iran Barkley. You could see how his skills gradually overcame the bigger stronger fighter. Duran also had to be tough to take the blows of bigger men, although most of their punches landed while Duran was moving away taking away the power of the blow.
The Barkley fight really was incredible. Barkley was so sharp that fight too, he really did fight the fight of his life that night but Roberto was just too experienced, too relaxed, to slick, too smart, nobody was beating Duran that night. Nor this night lol
Moore was never the same. Very sad death too. Crushed by his own car in an accident at home. Where did it all go wrong for a man who was world champ in 9 fights and had a business admin degree?
@@charlesrazo7246 Benitez was shot at the time of their fight - actually he was not knocked out, but couldn't defend himself as he broke his ankle. It was two boxers on a sad decline in their careers.
he was too inexperienced to hold a title, ya, he won it and defended it but he wasn't seasoned enough. Very, very sad story and as much as I love Duran, I didn't like seeing that kind of beating.
Where it went wrong is the moment he said he didn't think it would be a tough fight and that Duran was washed up lol. That is the exact moment it went wrong
@@Leafman67 just watched it. I can't understand how this guy ever got to referee at the highest level (or any level for that matter). Unbelievably bad.
The manager was foul Davey despite being a good boxer was delusional because no way the way he got pounded my God he got the prime beat out of him Duran knew because the bell rang to end the seventh round he threw Davey into the corner like a rag doll !
Great fight Davey Moore went up against one of boxings best fighters and put up a great exciting fight against the great Roberto duran unfortunately the referee was terrible and so wasn't the commentary !
leonards wife and mother both fainted ringside in that fight as well. and then after the fight Leonards brother attempted to attack Duran and Duran knocked him out in 1 punch lol. no joke.
Davey Moore's trainer Leon Washington and the referee Ernesto Magana could have gotten Moore killed in this fight. Duran fought like a monster on the loose and Moore had absolutely no chance at all to win. The fight should have definitely been stopped at the end of the seventh round. Moore was in no shape to continue and it was clear Duran had gotten the best of him.
I seriously think the fight could have legitimately been stopped at the end of the SIXTH ROUND. Poor Davey was finished, and was taking a LOT of punishment. His lower body must have been pulp. And Roberto is way too professional to let up on defeating his opponent. Anyway, sad to hear of Davey's passing. RIP Davey Moore.
he actually respected the hell out of him and openly acknowledges Durans incredible boxing skills which at that time were overlooked because of his mauler mentality
There are a couple different videos of this fight on RUclips. A video with Al Bernstein (for ESPN) and some other one. But this version with Tim Lyon and Gil Clancy by far has the best live commentary. Compared to Gil Clancy, Al Bernstein is better off commenting on golf. He has no passion no excitement, commenting on one the most riveting and enthralling fights in boxing history.
Davey talked trash to the wrong man and paid the price. Not a word about Moore hitting on the break or holding Duran by the back of the neck/head and hitting. But lots of talk about the thumb which is a hard thing to land intentionally because you can injure/jam your thumb easier than thumbing the eye.
Oh Duran hit him with that thumb on purpose LOL better believe it. Part of why I love him, one of the slickest and smartest fighters to ever step in the ring
@@mrdark9916 I don't believe it was intentional. It is surely a very hard thing to do on purpose as the previous gent mentioned. Duran is a master tactician, but I have never seen him INTENTIONALLY throw any kind of illegal blow. Seen him take plenty, and he rarely complains. BARCLAY caught him, but Roberto shook it off and carried on with the job.
Está pelea de durán con Dave morre me recuerda la primera pelea de duran con Leonard que le callo la boca a los habladores de pacotilla y incluído al propio Dave morre
Moore fought dirty from the off. This is not a kissing contest! It's a world championship fight. Not once did Duran complain about Moore's dirty moves. He just went about his business, and beat the cr4p out of Moore. But it should have been stopped at the knockdown. Davey was spent. Could not defend himself, could barely stand, and Roberto was merciless.
That old, soft body beat the sh*t out of that young, hard body. Duran whipped him fair and square, and never in the fight was that “Soft” body ever hurt or tired. So give the Man his props without looking for excuses.
That's disgusting that The Fans are against the hometown kid fighting in his own backyard, those fans should be ashamed of themselves.I know Duran beat Buchanan in that Arena (MSG) for the lightweight title at what,15 years old?.. But still.
People who weren't boxing fans in the 70's don't understand that Ali, Monzon, and Duran were the three top fighters of the 1970's. The sports writers voted for the best fighter of the 1970's and no it wasn't Ali --- it was Duran. Most "boxing fans" today don't even know who Monzon was.
You ever post any clips of uhhh, kickboxing? You ever hear of that sport? Well, what they do is combine the style and grace of boxing, with uhh.....with kicking. Ya know? Seems a little immature to me. Guy's boxing and all of a sudden he just starts kicking the guy. It's just cheating, ya know?
Moore's corner didn't even want to give Duran the credit he deserved, made a bunch of excuses. In another interview, Washington and Moore said that they felt Duran had put something in his gloves, that's why he caused so much damage. Washington was brave asking for another fight, because he's not the one who was going to get in the ring with Duran.
You know they may have thought that because that same night Mike Resto destroyed Billy Collins because panama lewis took out the paddong in.Restos Gloves!!! And Panama Lewis had trained with Duran!!! So I wonder????
He may be from Panama but we loved him here in the USA!!
The world loves him 🤝
He is half American
Tragic what happened to Davey Moore. He was a tremendous fighter and a credit to Boxing. Duran the greatest living fighter today. They showed so much dignity in this interview.
Sugar Ray is right
You Clancy's right to
Both were great no one can take away any respect from anyone who puts on boxing gloves, respect to those boxers of the past who were cheated from their wages 27:44
Best fighter ive ever seen.
Duran, 305 will always love you. Thanks,for the love,too. You were, are,and will ALWAYS. BE THE DEFINITION OF P4P.
Heart of a champion displayed by Davey Moore. He stood in there till the end.
His corner could have stopped that in the 6 th round
That ref failed Moore his trainer should have stopped it after the knock down he had nothing left!
Dirtiest fighter ever.
He went in head, shoulders, forearms, elbows, heaving, shoving, leaning, rabbit punching, blindside punches.
Duran did not complain once! He just punished.
Moore was beaten by the 4th. He knew it. Duran knew it.
The knockdown has to be one of THE classiest punches in all boxing history.
Maybe the fight should have been stopped there.
Duran is, for me (and many fight fans) the greatest BOXER of all time.
Even if his corner didn't have his back God he was willing to fight to the death that's a champ
Agreed 100%. But - in the words of the late local Chicago boxing trainer Primo LaCassa - "Having a lotta heart is great. But sometimes having a lotta heart only gets you killed." Peace and RIP Davey Moore.
Too much experience, too much Roberto Duran
Haha so great
Duran is a real legend. The referee and Davey's corner should of been banned from boxing for life. This fight ruined Davey Moore.
God I loved Davey he was a hot flashy champion think he underestimated Duran another brother that the Cuvas fight should have been a real warning! So true I would have wore some glasses too if I got stomped like that! I would have just said yo he got me
The only guy missing from the fight was Panama Lewis,a scumbag.
Yes it did
You should have seen Magana officiating the Hatcher/ Sacco rematch. That was even worse.
Duran's body attack was brutal, especially in the 2nd round! It was causing Moore to crouch over in pain.
That's, how. He would 've beat Floyd.
@@juangarcia-ml1by Floyd was much better defensively than Moore.
Loved the Leonard-Duran embrace at the end. Great stuff
Hmmm. I hear what you are saying, but to me, it was just Leonard wanting to be in on the act. More grandstanding.
This was Duran,s best since the first Leonard fight
Roberto Duran el mejor boxeador de todos los tiempos .
Badass man Duran! Kicking ass!
I always loved RD and his many incarnations...the unbeatable lightweight champion, his peak vs SRL in Montreal, his fall and this redemption...the veteran stylist who beat Iran Barkley at 37 and the remarkable fighter who was only stopped by injury sustained in a car accident forcing him to retire as he approached 50 years of age! One observation from this video...Roberto looked 30 pounds heavier in the studio than he did a week earlier in the fight! His face is hugely swollen! Hands of Stone knew how to paaaaatay!
oh my god you're right, he looks like the pillsbury doughboy in the studio! wow
Haven't seen this fight for years, don't know what's gonna happen precisely, but by the end of Rd 4, Moore looks done. Has nothing left. That's the way it looks to me now. Time to keep watching.
I'd say that analysis turned out pretty spot on. It was probably too much to ask for someone with just 12 pro fights.
The baddest fighter in the world
When in shape and motivated, the best P4P if all time in my personal opinion
Davey more believe it or not fought the best fight of his career in this fight. He fought really well but Duran far to much experience!! And a different caliber of fighter. Young Davey more the young Lion at that time was to tough and to game for his won good but eh he’s a champion and he went down like one (RIP) Davey you was a top talent and a good world champion 🥊.
Roberto Duran one of the all time greats in the sport of Boxing 👍🥊
Greatest fighter of all time.
DM great fighter!
The best all around boxer in the history of the sport.
100%
Duran would have straight Mirked Pacman
My Lord why did his manager let him go out after the six round the seventh round Duran was so brutal he dropped Moore that ref really dogged Davey Duran threw him into the corner like a rag doll after the bell sounded damb oww!

Nor this night lol
Moore's trainer saying a return bout,lol,please, it'd be a faster beat down than the first one.
After that what's he on
La mejor pelea q e visto en toda mi vida dos gladiadores
The best fighter ever.
What can you say about Roberto Duran? Just a legend
Duran Duran!!!! Bravo Las champione!!!
Moore was never the same. Very sad death too. Crushed by his own car in an accident at home. Where did it all go wrong for a man who was world champ in 9 fights and had a business admin degree?
Davey ko Benitez in two rounds after this fight
@@charlesrazo7246 Benitez was shot at the time of their fight - actually he was not knocked out, but couldn't defend himself as he broke his ankle.
It was two boxers on a sad decline in their careers.
he was too inexperienced to hold a title, ya, he won it and defended it but he wasn't seasoned enough. Very, very sad story and as much as I love Duran, I didn't like seeing that kind of beating.

Dentro de estados unidos deliraban con manos de piedra duran un carisma un idolo
WORST referee I’ve ever seen. Awful.
For another of Magana's all-time worst performances do a search for Sacco vs Hatcher II.
Exactly I agree
Absolutely without question. Peace
@@Leafman67 just watched it. I can't understand how this guy ever got to referee at the highest level (or any level for that matter). Unbelievably bad.
Que poder que determinacion duran lo maximo
Davey Moore said before the fight that he was going to end Roberta Duran's career he was talking a bunch of s***
Rough and tough the ref says. Go get em Duran
The manager was foul Davey despite being a good boxer was delusional because no way the way he got pounded my God he got the prime beat out of him Duran knew because the bell rang to end the seventh round he threw Davey into the corner like a rag doll !
Duran Tru a jab n more move his head no thumb
Great fight Davey Moore went up against one of boxings best fighters and put up a great exciting fight against the great Roberto duran unfortunately the referee was terrible and so wasn't the commentary !
John Mr Johnny fonte Kevin when he fought he was trying out the Playboy come running together autograph Roberto Duran this is great
Duran!,Duran!
most definitely the lion the baddest man ever🎉
Worked over
I was at this fight, and Duran destroyed moore, felt sorry for Davey's wife she was at ringside and fainted, she was pregnant
leonards wife and mother both fainted ringside in that fight as well.
and then after the fight Leonards brother attempted to attack Duran and Duran knocked him out in 1 punch lol.
no joke.
Davy’s corner should have stopped the fight! Who was in his corner?
That would be Leon Washington, who in his own career had fights against greats like Valdes and Finnegan.
Pagó caro sus ofensas ,hacía la leyenda Roberto manos de piedra Durán
As much as I love Roberto Duran, I felt bad for Davey Moore. Never the same after this fight.
Pretty weird how he views his ass beating
Davey Moore's trainer Leon Washington and the referee Ernesto Magana could have gotten Moore killed in this fight.
Duran fought like a monster on the loose and Moore had absolutely no chance at all to win.
The fight should have definitely been stopped at the end of the seventh round.
Moore was in no shape to continue and it was clear Duran had gotten the best of him.
Moore was let down by a lot of people in this fight, corner, the referee, the ringside doctor.
@@marknorris1381 I completely agree 💯
I seriously think the fight could have legitimately been stopped at the end of the SIXTH ROUND.
Poor Davey was finished, and was taking a LOT of punishment. His lower body must have been pulp.
And Roberto is way too professional to let up on defeating his opponent.
Anyway, sad to hear of Davey's passing. RIP Davey Moore.
This video only shows me how Leonard comments say he was jealous of duran.
he actually respected the hell out of him and openly acknowledges Durans incredible boxing skills which at that time were overlooked because of his mauler mentality
Que clase de boxeo que arrojo que fuersa de duran
The thumb to the eye created big problems. You don't want to trade punches with a world class power puncher. Move Davey move.
No thumb...clean uppercut
There are a couple different videos of this fight on RUclips. A video with Al Bernstein (for ESPN) and some other one. But this version with Tim Lyon and Gil Clancy by far has the best live commentary. Compared to Gil Clancy, Al Bernstein is better off commenting on golf. He has no passion no excitement, commenting on one the most riveting and enthralling fights in boxing history.
I agree that nothing rivals Gil’s commentary. Al and Gil worked together for a few big fights, including Duran-Barkley!
Durán Bravo de verdad 200% panameño el último codesendiete directo del cacique Urraka

Duran thumbed moore!
YES HE DID MOORE IS BOTHERED BY IT
haha I love Duran. What a master
Nope..never happened
@@Bruins-vq5ey huh? lol
oh he definitely thumbed him, and on purpose. and i love him for it lol hes so slick and clever
@@mrdark9916 no thumb was needed to spank Moore
Indiscipline took away many victories of Durán..
4:35
What terrible comments from Moore's team!
The lad was finished by the 6th round. Yet they were happy to see him destroyed.
Roberto did his job.
Duran's body looked soft in this fight. I think Moore fought a good fight, he was in it until the thumb. Real talk, I'm not saying it was intentional.
Moore fought dirty from the off.
This is not a kissing contest! It's a world championship fight.
Not once did Duran complain about Moore's dirty moves. He just went about his business, and beat the cr4p out of Moore.

Duran looks about 175 pounds here
152 1/2 at the weigh in. Moore actually came in overweight.
@@Leafman67Duran looked to be in great shape to me.
