Duran se quedó sin resto físico, sino le ganaba. Que grande Durán, peleando contra tipos mucho más grandes, jóvenes y fuertes. Ahora todos esquivan peleas. Él aceptó todas, incluidas las que no les convenía
But he wouldn't fight Mike McCallum, McCullum's camp was ready but Duran's camp backed off from forming the fight .... the only one out of the four kings that would of fought him was Marvin Hagler , but Hagler had Hearns , John the beast Mugabi and S.R.Leonard on his schedule ... Leonard was afraid of McCallum , he said in later years that he didn't want anything to do with McCullum 😂
I was very impressed with Robbie, what a great fighter, he even fought a young and aggressive Iran Barkley and beat him too ... Robbie Simms was a great fighter
He was 135 pounds 15 years prior to this fight but from 1979 and on he was floating at around the 150s , so it's not like he lost 15 pounds in one year 🤔
@@ironfist768 so was Simms ,but more effectively, after the fight I noticed Duran was talking to Simms on how well he did , never thought I see a day when Duran would actually congratulate an opponent, he was known as not having good sportsmanship after a fight
@@Robert-qm5so we can agree to disagree. i do believe Simms was in the fight for sure, but Duran was too much of a natural fighter, even at this stage.
ida made em do it again,...it was that close,. Duran certainly hit the tell tale punches, tho Sims outworked him a bit. A rematch prob puts Duran in alil better shape, and that woullda made a difference, Sims was never elite, so IMO Duran puts him away if he's in better condition with another title shot on the line. Just a marvel to watch this Duran,..so calm, cool,.and a master in the ring.
@@Robert-qm5so you can't score for shit. Only a blind guy can give Simms' round 4 and 6. They aren't even close rounds. All Simms landed in 2 rounds combined were a few jabs and 2 right hands while Duran had him seeing stars in both rounds with cracking right hands. Keep your reta***d scorecards to yourself.
@@Bruins-vq5ey Yes, that's a possible score. In the 8th round Mills Lane took a point away from Duran for low blows. I disagree with Lane taking a point away but I actually think that was a legit knock down in the 8th right when Lane took the point away and it wasn't scored one so it all evened out anyway.
I just watched the fight and I had Duran by a point. Hagler clearly won by at least 3 points. This was far more similar to Duran/Barkley. A fight that could’ve easily gone either way.
This announcer Gil Clancy is pretty bias, me personally I had Simms Six rounds to Durans 3 with 1 round even , if this would of been a 12 round fight or 15 rounder I strongly feel that Simms would of knocked out Duran , but that's just my opinion, but an honest one by a true boxing fan ( I am neither fan of Simms or Duran) I just love Boxing
@@felipeelamigodelosamigos4490 nope , that don't mean shit , Simms had his eyes closed but he clearly won the fight , same when Hagler was cut against Hearns , but Hagler won , No sea payaso 🤡
Robbie never became champion but his career sure wasn't without fighting some greats,like Duran here,Barkley,Kalambay and Pazienza!
Good fight

@@Robert-qm5soEmanuel Stewart who coached both Tommy and Mike set up the fight for Tommy instead of McCallum,and rest is history.
Oh shit they fought? Ok I'm gonna peep this later. Big respect to your channel

That is 135 pound guy against 160 pound guy incredible

@@Robert-qm5so that guy turn pro August 3, 1967 at 118 pounds that is a natural 135 pound guy incredible
Thank you ironbar
thought Duran won it
Simms was a pretty good fighter... I though it could have been a draw or a narrow Duran win.
Ummm ... 🤔 .... No
@@Robert-qm5so Duran often was blocking or evading Simms' shots and landing his own.

Duran got robbed.
I agree with Jerry Roth on this one
95-94 Sims
Duran won rounds 1, 4, 6, 7, and 9
Sims won rounds 2, 3, 4, 8, and 10
5-5 in rounds
I had Simms 96 - 93 Duran 1, 7, 8. Simms 2,3,4,5,9,10 round 6 even

Sims beat Duran bigger than Hagler did. I was there and went 3 for 3 - I had Robbie all the way.
What a great card!

@@ironbarboxing7509 I had Hagler winning 9 rounds to 5 with 1even but in this fight I had Simms winning 6 rounds to 3 with 1 even
