Footage of young Duran vs underrated great Ernesto Marcel

[Sweet Pea]

Hell of a fight from the highlights. The slickster Marcel actually holds his own in the exchanges and inside work. Based on what I can see the stoppage is pretty absurd though, can anyone shed any light on that?

Well alright, but it's great footage of both fighters. I recommend watching it. The stoppage still looks ridiculous to me though.

Yeh that looks like a bullshit stoppage. I can't believe Marcel didn't freak out. He appeared to be holding his own very well. He was hitting Duran with his right quite frequently. Thank for sharing Pea

Havent seen that before now Pea, thanks for that. The stoppage didnt look very right, maybe his face was a mess and the ref acted on that?

See how in the secnd video, Marcel starts to get a bounce in his step and gets confident, then he jumps in and Duran catches him with a perfectly timed right uppercut and puts a stop to Marcel's antics, great.

Yeh that was beautiful, and it stopped Marcel in his tracks

I thought Marcel looked excellent.

He definitely did from those highlights. I might have to get a couple of his fights now in my next order

I'd recommend his fight with a young Arguello where Marcel outboxed him to a Decision.

Nice find Pea, Duran was fighting at such a high pace in that fight and did'nt seem to tire at all.
