In 1980, the boxing world witnessed one of its most legendary encounters: "The Brawl in Montreal." Roberto Duran shocked the world by handing Sugar Ray Leonard his first professional loss to claim the WBC Welterweight title. By neutralizing Leonard’s speed with relentless aggression and forcing him into a phone-booth fight, Duran proved his mastery of the ring. In this clip, legendary promoter Don King reflects on the tactical brilliance that allowed Duran to impose his style and secure a hard-fought unanimous decision.

The episode was hosted By Dave Winfield, produced in 1987 for Season 14. Don't forget to like and subscribe to Greatest Sports Legends for more exclusive interviews and historic moments from the world of sports.
