Iran “The Blade” Barkley vs Roberto “Hands of Stone”  Duran represents a very special page in the history book of boxing. This intense and historic battle is nothing less than a benchmark for how violently beautiful pugilism can be when the right ingredients are combined. Spirited action, high drama, impressive ring skills and amazing courage were all on display the night the underdog Duran narrowly defeated Barkley for the WBC middleweight title in the obvious choice for 1989’s Fight of the Year.
