Sugar Ray Leonard: 'I felt safe in the ring. My heart turned icy'

[Keith Millea]

Thanks Jan.I like these type of stories a lot.

"In the rematch with Durán I was boxing smart and, then, I started fooling around. I threw those crazy bolo punches and the audience was laughing. Really laughing. I could see in Durán's eyes he didn't like it. He was a bad bully and here I was ridiculing him. Eventually, he just quit. He threw up his hands in frustration and walked away. He never realised the ramifications it would have on the rest of his life. But that fight should not dictate his legacy. Durán was a great fighter."

I remember watching this fight.But,I remember it being said that Duran had broken ribs or something that made him say "No Mas".Sugar Ray seems to say that Duran just gave up.I wonder what the real story is?
