@lickstickly It depends on what you're scoring for, Duran was the aggressor, he also set the pace and tempo for the fight, i gave Buchanan more rounds than the judges did but Duran won, no doubt, low blow or not he dominated Buchanan regardless of how he did it, Duran was an aggressive inside fighter and he fought his fight well.
Agree...The low blow/late was a get out of jail card and maybe a rematch should have been made BUT he way behind on all 3 cards at the ringside.(6-5 rounds according to reports) One of the ALL time British greats but no where
He would have just lost the fight on points so that's that but he was a tough character. He was dominated tho and that fight was not gonna be any different no matter how often he fought Duran.
@theman1819 i have watched the fight countless times and am a fan of both fighters and cant see how the judges had Duran ahead on all scorecards, the cleaner work seemed to be coming from Buchanan and the brawling and occasional headbutting seemed to be coming from Duran, Boxing judges are bloody scandalous sometimes
thats what you get when you hit someone after the bell you get a low blow, still kens a great fighter but duran is the best lightweight of all time and ken stuck it out pretty good.
near the ALL time No5 P4P that Duran is.. There is no way he would have won a rematch..The truth is that just like Laguna viewed Ken as a ptasy(sic)..Ken made the same mistake against Duran---the rest is history
1:25 Buchanan is referring to the night Ali fought Oscar Bonavena. Ali was top of the bill, *not* Buchanan so I doubt the story about the chalk is true. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qsEAUQnUdpE.html
The professional writer and myself knew Kenny was acting better and duran was starting to jabber, it is so obvious that the "seasoned kid" was astonished that the Scot would not go down but they made sure that wasn't going to happen Cheaters !!! kenny with two rounds and one big flurry and now Duran's down. Why can't people stand up for what is right. why? 30 years for Duran to tell him it ws low? and he sobs and kisses KB on the face?? That is guilt my friend. Why not an insistence by duran that he HAS top fight him again FOR HIS HONOR>
A,pretty boxer with great Jab v a brawler nine outta ten times brawler wins this is a smaller scale of what Ali v Tyson would be like prime v prime Tyson wins if Frazier best Ali imagine a prime Tyson!
This documentary is scandalously dishonest when saying that it was Johnny LoBianco's first title fight and his last. Complete nonsense!! LoBianco had many big title fights before and more later. It has never been clear to me exactly what happened to Buchanan at the end of the 13th. They were both throwing after the bell. If it happened today, Buchanan might be given 5 minutes to recover.
