The 'No Más Fight' between Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Roberto Durán II, is tagged one of the most famous fights in boxing history.
The fight took place on November 25, 1980, at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, United States.
In the video below, you will see some really hard punching, unrivaled stamina and two boxers trying to settle a score not spoken but carried in their hearts.
**** ###### The pair actually had 3 bouts between them, 2 of which were won by Roberto Durán who was the WBC No. 1 welterweight contender then while Sugar Ray was defending Champion. ###### The two had a rivalry that needed to be settled over some bouts with Sugar Ray being angry with Durán over his numerous insults.
The name No Más which is Spanish for "No more", was when Duran quit the fight at the eight round by turning towards the referee and quit by apparently saying, "No más", a statement he has denied saying he had cramps.

My Thoughts.

I watched all three of the fights and must say, I have never seen such serious punching from two boxers and after 15 rounds of slugging it out, they were still standing and looking well and strong.
Boxing is something I cannot stop watching and whenever I am watching it, I find myself trying to take punches and even dodging them as well.
