I was at a large venue telecast of the Leonard-Duran fight (no such thing as PPV then) when Hands of Stone said "No Mas" in the 6th round. I never respected him as a fighter again.

I think Pennington's corner did the right thing. She wasn't taking a beating like Do Kuh Kim took from Boom Boom Mancini before he died. If you fight for the crown you gotta have heart.

It's a truly wonderful article Vanessa. Thank you for it.
