Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Roberto "Manos de Piedra" Duran Billed as The Brawl in Montreal. Duran looks to overcome a Prime Sugar Ray Leonard at welterweight (147lbs) after dominating lightweight (135lbs) for years. This has been stretched to 16:9 and made 1440p 60fps.
There are moments where the video lags pretty bad like at the end of the first round. Cant do anything about it.
The quality was made possible by Sky Sports's upload of the fight.

Don't know if it's been mentioned in the comments but the in-ring announcer calling out the judges' scores stated the 2nd judge's score incorrectly as 147-147 - i.e. a draw. In fact, that judge had Duran winning the fight 148-147. Shortly after the scores were announced and the fighters were back in their dressing rooms, it was clarified that Duran had actually won by unanimous decision (not majority decision). Duran won the fight by unanimous decision 145-144, 148-147, 146-144. This fight is one of my best life memories. I was 13 yrs old and my father and I were big boxing fans. We went to watch this fight on a closed-circuit broadcast at the gym of the nearby university in our city. When we got there we were told it was sold-out. We were both so disappointed. We were about to leave when all of a sudden a Budweiser Beer man shouted out to us from the side of the building. We walked over and he threw the door open for us and said "Don't tell anyone I did this for you!" We hustled inside and the first round had just begun. The atmosphere in that college basketball gym was unreal. Was like nothing I'd ever felt or experienced before. People were going nuts. My dad and I absolutely loved the fight. It was a true all-time classic. The interactions my dad and I and with each other and the fight fans around us was beyond memorable. My dad and I talked about that fight and that night in general for the rest of his life.

I saw this fight on live show at the L.A. Sports Arena. It was simply electrigying every minute of he match. Leonard showed to the world that he could punch and go toe to toe with a hard hitting fighter like Duran. The only bad thing is that Leonard got away with a lot of holding. Both are great legends adn Duran was the rightful winner.

I think in the last round Leonard had more then Duran and Duran knew this was Leonard’s last chance to win so he would try to knock him out. And if he did Duran would loose but if he survives he will win on points so he mainly tried to evade Leonard’s attacks with his brilliant defense. A lot of brains behind the brawn.

…..idk…and now learning that the next two rematches were heavily lopsided in Ray’s favor via ability supports the original analysis of this fight…. I’ll say this the “missed” punches Ray through, to me, seemed to be like shooting blanks to keep Duran ducking, *sometimes*, or more cautious- like a pitchfork for an aggressive bear- I know that’s so hard to judge cuz technically it’s a missed swing if you go by stats but sometimes punching and knowing it isn’t going to land is like a feint and helps you control the flow…. I’ll watch this again in a year or so but dang such a nuanced way to not get the decision but all of this is supported by the next two rematches…. Which the writing is on the wall because even here Duran really thought he won, he did but not in the way he thought… such an interesting and multi layered saga. Boxing!!!!! Love this sport!

Sugar won this first fight. He fought Duran's and Duran couldn't knock Sugar out. Sugar fought Duran's style the whole fight. In order for Duran to have won that fight, he needed to knock Sugar out. He didn't. Plus remember the NO MAS when Sugar fought his way. Sugar is the clearly the greatest !
