Roberto Duran vs Davey Moore | FREE FIGHT ON THIS DAY 

Indubidubly 🙂

football(soccer) and basketball are definitely at the peak aswell

0:42 0:42 0:42

MMA compares now, especially considering the mix of arts involved, but boxing at its *peak* back in the GOLDEN age of the sport... I agree, just ridiculous. I mean c'mon just look at this fight. And Davey Moore isn't really even a name known to casual fans, but WHAT a phenomenal *athlete* as well as warrior, and practitioner of the the extraordinary martial art known as boxing - which is essentially the supreme artistry of *fisticuffs*. He's here just competing in an all time great fight against an all time great fighter in Duran, but this is almost typical stuff of the golden age, when boxers looked like superhumans in all of these ultra-skilled, tactical/strategic all-out WARS of powerful, fast, precision shots being MASTERFULLY traded back and forth in BEAUTIFUL combinations in a give and take competition at the highest level ever seen/recorded between two men (or women)

You'd feel like you've taken roids if you watch some UFC. Watch any Justin Gaethje fight, and you'll understand.

Duran already head weight problem in the first Leonard fight that heart scare was do two diet pills he already head weight problems

Neither did Davey's corner!

Gran error fajarse con duran x eso tomy lo sabia xq pa bajo tomy tenia barbilla de cristal el se la rifo y le salio y cmo no mucho mas grande y unos tremendos canaletes pero.moore cometio una falla mortal eso le paso a leonar en la primera en el asalto segundo fue alcansado pero despues quiso competir hombre a hombre y no le salio xq pa ultimo entraba y salia 😂😂😂😉😃

@@signkutter9218 Salvador Sanchez was elite ... much more than Roberto 'no mas' Duran

@@rafaelramirez1507 As a boxing fan how can you go wrong with a Sanchez or a Duran... both these guys were the elite of the elite. We can't say what would've happened to Sanchez had he hung on to not his best days... would he have still been able to beat bigger, younger fighters in their prime? We'll never know as he really did die in a tragic end at only 23... while Duran fought until he was like 100 years old!

I would have said screw that you fight him.

I would fight him. I’d train my balls of and I would fight him but that’s only because I love to fight. A fighter like Duran would bring out the best in me.

Moore cherry picked Durán thinking he was finished as a Boxer,Moore was a natural Middle weight and Durán a Light weight,The same thing happened to Barkley,Durán kicked their ass and retired them both.

@@andreschavez3134 thats the part of history that makes him great, all the did with the fantastic 4 and before was amazing, even tho he loss to all of them but got one amazing victory against the one the beated all of them. Beating those 2 middle weights made his name go in the books.

Yes great comment

Agreed. Duran was an absolute animal. Moore was incredibly brave and a tough man

I still think this was a mistake by moores camp. I know my comment is "after the event" but why take on a legend with little to lose, and smarting from a difficult previous 18 months?

Duran was actually half American. his father was Mexican - American from Arizona.

He had one eye, was brutally pummeled to the body, knocked down and got up. Davey Moore is a rockstar.

You re right..... i never have chnace to see his fight live... only in youtube..compared to him, todays welterweights are just joke.....may be pacman is an exceptional

El boxeo ves cuestión de estilos Wilfredo Benites derrotó a durán bien fácil y perdió ante Moore siendo el propio durán el vengador dela derrota de otro ollgullo latino Benites

True, Moore showed well how great he was in this fight his inside hook and slugs look very vicious to contend with and actually very intimidating to see him doing that in action, but what can I say, Roberto Duran is not in that class, his skills are extremely high and diversified and natural. Moore had no chance. He actually fought well just like Barkeley fought extremely well the best fight of his career against Duran (the live commentators acknowledged said it all the way during the fight in progress) but they both faced a much superior fighter in Duran. Duran only enemy was not on the ring it was his love of food and partying.

Different era, entirely different kind of environment, I do agree the energy in these matches are just something completely different from what you see today, man what I would give to have lived during these times.

@@martinrolando9324 Hey!!! More respect for the man. You would have run out of the ring.

@@martinrolando9324 YOU WOULDNT TAKE HALF OF ONE OF DURANS BODY SHOTS CUPCAKE

Typical bad comment failing to recognize Duran's extremely highly talented skills. A lot of people fail to recognize how incredible Duran's defense is, and how incredible his countering and opportunistic offense is. He does not make any move that isn't adapted to his opponent or with a true purpose or calculated deceit, extremely effective and efficient. He slips punches constantly in a way that shouldn't be possible. That is the reality. You fail to see how high his skills are. It's got nothing to do with being relentless or vicious, for such a high skill, he simply cannot be stopped, it's pure virtuso skilled fighting. The highest type of boxing. You're completely wrong about Duran.

@@goognamgoognw6637 Brother, I think you misread my post. I agree with every point you make, and none of it is counter to what I said, so I don't know why you're writing as if we have opposing views. Of course I recognize Duran's amazing defense, his ability to avoid getting hit while also getting his shots in. However, he does get hit by big shots from Moore multiple times. Both things can be true. The difference is, Duran takes less hits and doesn't get affected, or at least doesn't show it, while Moore gets broken down by consistent body shots.

@@egdapa Here is why, there's a whole bunch of united-statians who don't give Duran proper credit for his incredible skills . They ignorantly attribute his wins to their false impression that the win came from being vicious, animal, relentless. That is a cunning way to discredit him as saying "yeah he won but that isn't proper boxing". In their mind they're stuck to boxing being only a limited set of boxing skills from the outside. I already have that discussion with some who look down on Duran and think you have to copy Ali like Leonard who brought nothing new to boxing to be great. They just say Duran is just a tricky brawler and that is total bs. There are natural high skills in Duran that are sublime and that they don't even see. Leonard knew it and knew he couldn't learn those skills, he wanted to show he didn't need them and that he could win without his bunny rabbit constantly escaping away style and flirting with the judges with fake fighting, But he could not. He got beaten flat, already almost knocked down on 2nd round. He saw it was sublime skills Duran had. Not a matter of being "relentless" as you put it. The 2nd fight can be forgotten since Duran had put 20 kilos in the few months between the fights, partied and didnt train. He was still 10 kilos overweight a few weeks before the fight. He was doomed to loose by his own fault, not by leonard boxing from the outside.

@@goognamgoognw6637 Fair enough, but you can be skillfully relentless. They are not mutually exclusive qualities. In the second round, Duran gets hit by at least three big shots from Moore, about a minute in, then two minutes into the round, and finally at the bell. Every time he comes right back or turns an angle and throws big shots of his own, as if nothing happened, as if to make a point to demoralize his opponent. In a word, relentless.

@@egdapa That's true, and i recognize i was overzealous "relentless" is justified although still misleading but you also said vicious. He isn't, he is just effective with high skills. I have never seen Duran being dirty in boxing, or enjoying hurting an opponent, what he enjoyed is winning and defeating the opponent. It's not the same.

They're just as tough today but everybody is on roids. Roids makes your body stronger but not your brain. That's why today's fighters are done after one tough fight.

Yeh todays generation (mine) is like not getting hit is the name of the game seems back than exchanges where the favorite thing to do and now people obsess over being the most skilled boring fighter.

Ducking has been around since forever

Yea no theyre not as tough lol, thats a no brainer! These guys, Duran, Arguello, Pryor, Foreman, Chavez, Hagler were all cut from a different cloth and upbringing. No comparison to today, theyd make these quit! Today they talk about saving themselves for the championship rounds 10 to 12! Bitch, these guys were just getting started on way to 15 and they never took a round off. The Pryor Arguello 1st fight is a perfect example of working every round. SF

@El Luech idk. Im sure people train harder today. Without the swinging of an axe on wood. Which made a difference. But i think people worry about the mental and physical issues when forcing boxers to do that much. And we want them to last and to be in the hall of fame without slurring their speech.

Yes pulsonar i noticed that too. Moore not ready for duran, it was a mismatch sadly for brave brave davey.

@@johntate5722 Hardly a mismatch, this is an intensely close, back-and-forth WAR, very evenly competitive at least for the first half of it

Moore wasn't scared of Duran... the fuck

@@kirklandau2826“Moore wasn’t afraid” so what does his body language say otherwise?

​@@kirklandau2826although much of what you say is true, by mismatch i dont mean "walkover" - davey gave a great egfort and grwat account of himself. what i mean is that he wasnt really ready for a wily, experienced, and desperate duran. Duran needed a big victory here. Daveys camp shouldnt have gone for duran, too risky. Duran himself was in a mismatch v hearns. Hearns too tall, huge reach, not a good choice for duran

He was the shark lurking around then the chase began and he would take bites out of his victims sapping their energy...then one big bite ends it all...

Until tommy Hearns

Hearns Is Really Good So No Shame In That Loss

@@Philotheist777 Hearns was after this, so was Hagler. Duran-Hagler was a great fight, Hagler came back at the very end. Before this, he lost to Benítez, who is in the Hall of Fame.

Que pena su fallecimiento. Moore fue un gran boxeador.

Indeed...talk about heart, that man had it in droves!!

Roberto Manos De Piedra Duran was a LEGEND. He fought a man that was younger, faster, stronger and defeated him. Pound for Pound Roberto is definitely One of the GREATEST

I met him around this time, right before he fought Duran in NYC. Real nice man, very kind. RIP Davey Moore, indeed.

Davey Moore really *typifies* the kind of caliber of boxers and athletes that existed in the golden age of this sport, just spectacular, and almost as the norm. And Moore isn't even a name known to casual fans, except for maybe those who have seen this truly all-time-great fight with Duran. Moore looks phenomenal here, it takes truly ALL of PEAK Roberto Duran to be able to deal with him, in what amounts to an intensely competitive, back-and-forth war. Similarly sized as well, unlike a lot of opponents Duran faced

No shit?

@Fred Forbes running lovers here ? 🏃👋

@Fred Forbes Well, he was a Lightweight who was 12+ years and 70+ fights into his career when he moved up and lost to those all time great Welterweights and Middleweights.

@Fred Forbes He was one of the best pound for pound fighters of all time.

No, I don’t rate him above Robinson. I said he was “one of the best” not “the very best”. And Robinson went 40 fights before losing to LaMotta. That’s 40 fights. Not 165. You were just a little off in your recollection. Yes, I rank him ahead of Ali, Pep, Pacquiao, Chavez, Gans, and the rest of the Fab 4 in a pound for pound sense. I rate him #6 all time pound for pound.

Haha good overall analysis. Duran skills in defense are incredible so are his offensive countering skills. What he does he so superior that it cannot be learned even by other legend boxers and some tried. I consider his style of boxing the only true and highest form of this art. The whole outboxing school i believe is a lesser art, it's not engaging and is more of a ponctual hit and run premeditation it does not involve the highly natural skills of Duran boxing in constant reaction to the opponent movement and making incredibly good choice in real time constantly. He is in my view the best ever boxer i have seen in a video, with only SRR might have been another great but a doubt remains because his young years where he was at its peak were before the filming age. You have the this whole class of american black boxers who develop those impressive bodies by they're actually not great fighters. There's several generation of united statians who don't understand what the highest skill in boxing are. It's not Leonard outside dancing with dasking display of single attacks, it does not have the fighting mind skills that Roberto Duran true fighting boxing has. I am convinced that Leonard actually knows and agree with this, and all true boxers know that Duran is a class above them. If Leonard had trust his outside boxing style was more respectable then he would not have tried to fight Duran as he did and lost in fight 1, already knocked out almost on 2nd round. Duran lost in Fight 2 only because it was a few months later and he didn't keep fit and ate and partied while Leonard humiliated by his loss did the exact opposite.

Duran rearranged his face a lot of people don't know Moore pissed blood for 3 days from Duran's body shoots.And once Duran found Barkley's weak spots he knocked Barkley on his ass and won a decision.

Bod shots destroyed him inside work from duran unbeatable

Talk about a thorough ass beating, if you’ve ever watched Morales vs Vargas…. It was so one sided. It was like putting a civilian in there with a legendary boxer.

man please davey was 24 and that man was 32 and been professional since 15 and davey just turned pro about 2 years that wasnt nothing but more exp thats all it was u want to see thorough ass kicking type in tommy hearns vs roberto duran foo

You miss a lot of great fights of Duran in his prime..

I think roberto duran was the best fighter. In terms of being a complete package. I mean come on, its like he was built specifically to be a fighter. Mike tyson, nice to look at. Great student. But he doesnt have the brain duran had. He would probably not be champion without cus d amato. Ali often remembered as the greatest but he left his biggest impression on the world as a personality not a fighter. Thats what made him so great. As a fighter he just took way to much damage and his style was so bad for himself that he broke his brain. Sugar ray leonard, he was a showman flirting with the judges was his priority. He also lacked his own style, everything was copied from ali. He won a lot of fights that he should not have won by being a showman. he brought in the money so it worked. He is however a very smart and good boxer. Tommy hearns, he was a great boxer but he had enough flaws. Footwork, glass chin,bad balance, not able to adapt mid fight. Without his freakish natural reach/height i doubt he would be able to reach the top. Hagler, one of the few fighters who actually comes really close to roberto duran. But he missed the star factor! roberto had so many talents, including charisma. i think he just edges it in the complete package. Imagine if roberto duran was actually dedicated to training between fights like hagler 😮 There are way more fantastic fighters, many guys come close. I think its hard to deny floyd mayweather as one who shares almost the same skillset as roberto. But his style is almost cheating. its just a little bit less impressive than duran. Floyds family had also given floyd a huge headstart, the style was already created for floyd. Duran had all this talent and created his entire style himself. And ofcourse some people will look at the records and say he doesnt have the best record. Well actually, if records are really that important to you, his record was amazing as well, he was 72 -1 before his second loss in the downhill of his career. He just really loved fighting so kept going until he was an old man. Floyd really loved money and points so he kept going till he surpassed the record of rocky marciano with 1 fight 😂 Roberto duran, he is as good as it gets when we are talking boxing! If records showed the best fighters, joe calzaghe, rocky marciano and floyd mayweather would be the best of all time.

@@wtfgebeurdmij2991 I was in total agreement with your review of top fighters until you got to floyd mayweather, who was a fraud, how dare you even say he had anything in common with Roberto Duran. That is disgraceful. Mayweather devoted his entire boxing career at running away from opponents (also refusing fights). The exact opposite of Roberto Duran who constantly engaged his opponents on the ring and with hundreds real solid punches landed, Mayweather always disengaged and played bunny rabbit. He was looking for a well calculated 2 or 3 at the most landed punches in a fight while spending the rest of the time without fighting (which requires skills but it's an inferior skill). He is the biggest disgrace to the art of boxing and has nothing in common with any champion. I don't care how many wins he had and how many judges he influenced and paid, he did not box his opponents !! Just remember that boxing is a sport with rules and these rules have flaws that weren't exposed until mayweather came. Mayweather hated boxing he literally said so and his goal was making a business out of it and money, taking care of all the non sporting side of it, like venues, % of proceeds his side demanded to accept a fight ( he demanded 80% and only allowed 20% to pacquiao's side). Just think of the lowest boxer you've seen on TV, well i would still seriously argue that he is a better boxer than Mayweather because he fought while M didn't. The rule of boxing should have been updated to penalize non engaging boxers like M. who caused boring bouts. The only reason he lasted is he was so easy to hate and his personality so polarizing and he used pretext of racism to market himself too (like Ali but with a different spin) he produced interest and revenue that way. Still the same, this is NOT boxing. He was a disgrace and significantly lowered my view of the sport.

The referee too.

You can see spectators yelling at the ref to stop the fight near the end.

There was no possible way Moore was coming back at that point.

That ref was a disgrace but so was Moores corner,they're supposed to be there to protect the fighter

I can see the referee smiling in the end of the fight when duran is beating the guy to death. Damn! Watch it closely! Its creepy. As if he enjoys the slaughter.

Another complete bullshit comment. You don't understand how highly skilled Duran was. This is extremely high and advanced skills, not mere "tricks" as you put it. This man has more skills than many legends put together. The higher level the more difficult it is to copy a man And the impression of him being relentless is a false perception .Nobody can be relentless without being a superior expert, or they would get stopped and punished for it very quickly. Surely Moore's boxing style is perfect for stopping a pressure boxer, he's got hard punishing inside hooks and body slugs, but Duran skills are so high that he can neutralize all of it. What happens in this fight is that Moore used all his tools all his abilities and it was not even enough to slow down his demise against the overwhelmingly superiority of Roberto Duran.

@@markriley5863 leonard was coming back on the later rounds on their first fight but duran already stacked points on the early rounds imo

@@faehrncioas1611 I'm going to watch Duran SRL 1 again. Memory is fuzzy...thought Duran clearly beat him. But need to rewatch. Been years.

Agreed. Davey took too much damage to the body. - by 5th round he was done.

I could not agree more! Duran was warrior class and there is not many in that class.

I love Duran but I think the inventor of "beast mode" has to be Jack Dempsey. He was an absolute savage, and I'm sure Duran was a huge fan

Funny you said that because Duran is “El Diablo” (The Devil) he inspired fear on his opponents.

Cuando veo boxeo de esta generación, ni la sombra de manos de piedra duran. Miren a lomachenco. Dizque libra por libra. Vean este monstruo como acabó pesos más grandes y pesados que el.

Cómo que el mejor latino,el mejor del mundo de todos los tiempos mi hermano.

Hispano, el término latino no existe para un Sudamericano. Es usted un membrillo

@@alvisosa943 debutó en 112 libras y termino ganando el título de las 160 libras eso no lo hace cualquiera muy osado el manos de piedra

@@alvisosa943 primero Durán no es suramericano. Es centroamericano. Segundo si es latinoamericano por que nuestro idioma el español se deriva del latin al igual que el italiano el portugués el francés y el rumano

Duran must have forgot this against Hearns.

@@proplayer566 that's one of the great mysteries of boxing. Well, not so much a mystery but more of an illustration about how styles make fights. That leverage from a Hearn's right hand was hard to overcome. I'm still impressed that Leonard beat Hearns at welterweight.

@@proplayer566 he was 14 st when he signed for the fight 6 weeks before made the weight though best tactics by hearts team

@@proplayer566 Hearns unbeatable at Jr. Middleweight (154), that's where he should have stayed. He had no power at lightweight when he lost to Aaron Pryor and to weak at Welterweight when he was stopped by Leonard and obviously too heavy at Middleweight when he lost to Hagler. Dream fight Felix Trinidad vs Hearns at Jr Middleweight. Remember Duran fought Hearns at Jr. Middleweight not at Lightweight or Welterweight. Duran greatest ever

@@rodd7 Duran greatest ever! Are u kidding? The greatest don't get knocked down 4 times before being knocked out in 2 rounds by Hearns. The greatest don't get beat by Hagler's little brother. And the greatest never just quit in the middle of of fight in which you are loosing.

Well spotted. Classic Duran.

O.

tal cual

Si enfrento muy duros oponentes y era muy bueno pero siempre perdio contra los mejores me quedo con Chaves sr o Salvador Sánchez

@@meriguito01 no manches guey, Duran subio hasta las 168 lbs y gano titulos en 4 divisiones! Tanbien era campeon indiscutible de peso ligero! Chavez lo mas que peleo era hasta las 140 lbs! Duran peleaba contra boxeadores mas del triple de su size!

@@meriguito01 le gano a leonard, decision dividida con habler, perdio con hearn, gano 4 categorias, si dices eso chavez perdio con de la hoya, costa siu, randall, witaker, etc y en un peso mas manejable, Duran peleo con titanes

Amen

@@stopasking9745 css

Why is that

@@sherrillraymond7595 apparently Durans deep black eyes would break opponents before the fight. Pause

Yes i wondered if davey was advised to avoid the eye contact...it was unusual ...but to look at the floor would only give duran strength. Why not look up or past him or at the ref?

Troy, maybe seemed nice. But let's not forget his hatred of America, it's people and our military.

At this fight ? Wow

I don't like all these bad adjectives about Duran he was neither a beast, nor an animal, nor vicious, not anything in that line. He was simply extremely talented and superior over his opponent. Almost no other boxer had the full package of skills that he had, he was unstoppable, and didn't take any punishment because his defense was incredible. He was as calm as calm could be.

Así es de milagro no lo mató que aguante para soportar los golpes del manos de piedra

Hoy en día nadie soportaría un golpe así, Moore fué un gran valiente pues tuvo que reconocer que Durán no era ningún mediocre en ese peso como lo había afirmado.

Tommy hearns KO against duran was better

Davey Moore was bigger than Sugar Ray Leonard.

You hit the nail on the head

Muchos dicen que un duran entrenado y disciplinado seria invatible, lo q si escierto que el apodo de manos de piedra esta bien definido y la tecnica de defensa de Dura nes exquisita.

Yo hubiera sido boxeador jamás hubiera boxeando con Durán... Era un peligro una de esas manos amigo..

Durán pegaba como una bestia.

@@luiseduardosegurabadilla638 Yes

Es mi favorito duran y canelo

old school boxing > current boxing & mma

Yeah, the disadvantage about mma to me is that its just mostly practiced by crazy people. sure a few crazy champions have some cool technique or fun personality, but it never came close to the legends in the peak of boxing. Mma fighters seem just weird to me, like most of them have severe mental issues or something. I like my sport a bit more like a sport and a bit less like a murder scene... Ofcourse boxing also had its fair share of lunatics but atleast they did not want to get kneed and elbowed in the face for less money than a normal 9 to 5 job.. Also mma seems to atracts a certain type of blood thirsty fanbase and thats not my thing at all. I just love boxing for the physicial chess match.
