So instead of coming out southpaw and Leonard had a hard time, he comes out orthodox, gives away four rounds, turns southpaw in the fifth.
Now it's a different fight.
But Leonard wins a couple of those rounds late and gets a decision.
I talked to Hagler about that.
That was what Clubber Lang was based on in Rocky III, insulting the wife.
That was all based on Duran.
But Duran, I always thought, was the reason Leonard came out and fought Hagler.
Because after Duran fought Hagler and lost to him close, he told Sugar Ray after the fight, you get him.
You'll beat him.
And I think that's why Leonard took the fight.
Corrales Castillo.
Oh, yeah.
That's a great one.
Corrales Castillo won and Pryor Arguello won.
I like the fact that you have Leonard Hearns one here.
It's my favorite fight.
It is.
It's mine too.
And I think that was actually, all things considered, the highest level of boxing we've ever seen.
Like two impossibly great fighters, no excuses, at their very best in a 15-round fight.
