Still my favorite fight. Two impeccably skilled boxers.
I agree
Except Benitez got destroyed. He put up a decent fight but Leonard was superior.
@@JamesWalsh-kc6hr And Durán superior to Leonard.
One of best technical fighter in history
Why do you keep saying these fights are 4k HD when they look like VHS tape quality.
VHS Quality are you serious ? I think you have to change your computer. But if you can made better I will waiting to see this
@@ElTerribleProduction dont get your feelings hurt, the quality is terrible. Don't place an "HD" option when the fights weren't even broadcasted in HD
Two of the greatest boxers of all time at their peak....THIS is what boxing USED TO BE>>>AND this fight was broadcast on network TV for FREE!!! NOw people pay to watch jake Paul stuff...times have changed and not for the better
That was a great fight!!! Wilfred happens to be related to one of my good hermanos.... 🇵🇷. Big up to both!!!
Before the fight Wilfred's dad said his son wasn't training very much for the fight like he should.
Unbelievable speed
Benitez was superbly gifted, but Leonard was a top 10 all time great.
Que pelea !!! Que dos boxeadores !!! Yo admiro a Leonard. Pero Benitez me sorprendió. Dos estilistas , rapidos ,fuertes.... Leonard un poco mas
El fraude correlon de Mayweather no habría tenido una oportunidad de sobrevivir contra ninguno de los 4 fantásticos si hubiera peleado durante esta epoca.Puro boxeador talentoso,mucha velocidad la de Leonard,muy fino y muy completo el tipo.Tan es así que durante todo su apogeo no perdió por medio del cloroformo.Ya cuando iva de bajada,desde luego que perdió con Terry Norris y con macho Camacho,pero en su apogeo ninguno de los dos le habría hecho ni cosquillas.Aca la prueba del nivel que tenía.
Estos dos y los otros 3 fantásticos le habría arrimado una buena pela al córrelon de Mayweather.No le habría alcanzado el cuadrilátero para esconderse.De solo ver estos titanes uno se da cuenta del nivel que tenían.Algo que el correcaminos nunca alcanzó.
Eran peleas parejas,en su apogeo los dos.Durante los 80’s estos dos dominaban sus divisiónes.Ya después de los 80’s este Leonard perdido varias peleas,pero durante todos los 80’s estos titanes si que demostraban corazón cuando se subían al cuadrilátero.
Buenas noches, saludos desde Venezuela, 2 señores Boxeadores históricos, gloria para ambos.
Sugar Ray Leonard is an extension of Muhammad Ali’s school, which is the only school that can truly be called the art of noble sports. It combines artistry, skill, and enjoyment, rather than just striking and power.
Best staredown ever.
Wilfredo always had those tense staredowns, best was Benitez vs Hearns stare down
back in the days when a fight was a fight....not a competition to see who can avoid getting hit.
That’s part of boxing tho fool
Tremenda pelea
Leonard lo tenía todo en Welter
Benitez también era tremendo boxeador
Para mi Leonarth le iba ganando la pelea hasta el momento que pararon la pelea x 3 o 4 puntos x decisión tenía ganada la pelea !!! X cierto es una lástima como quedo Benítez en la actualidad una muerte en vida ...🤔
Muy completo Leonard,fino para pelear.Precisión y velocidad para pegar,aguantaba bien y pegaba duro.Un boxeador muy completo para su época.Tan es así que durante su apogeo solo perdió con Duran y fue el más le pego,aunque en la segunda pelea se vio mejor.Pero de que fue muy buen boxeador,eso no se discute.
Two legends, a piece of gold this fight...
Bravi due super campioni
Cracking fight between two masters
Amazing fight. Good to watch a few times to appreciate how good these two were.
Sugar Ray Leonard beast mode.
Great fighter
BENITEZ FUE EL CAMPEÓN MAS JOVEN ..CON 17 AÑOS DE EDAD..NO OLVIDES ESE DETALLE..🇵🇷🇵🇷
Yeah, I had forgotten he had that.
Controversial stoppage. He could of finished the fight in my opinion
Yes like Chavez vs Taylor
Could have, not could of.
@@timnell207 ohh ok
Did you see what happened to Taylor after the Chavez fight?🤦🏼♂️.
@@USAAMERICAFUCKYEAH77 yea he got up
Like and comment please. Thanks for watching
Muchas felicidades Sr. Padilla
If i remember right this was on a Friday night, i was heading out for some wildness hell why not i was 17 or 18, i wasnt sure if Sugar Ray was for real or not and the tension was unreal in this one, such a great fight both fighters were so hard to hit, sugar ray more so cause Benitez was a counter puncher and very hard to hit, where sugar rays speed was incredible. It was actually free tv an ABC fight cause i remember Cosell calling it. Sugar Ray proved he was a great fighter that night and somebody who was going to have to be reckoned with for a long time. Only an eye injury kept him out for a few years at his natural weight (Welter, 147) He came back at middleweight an incredible thing to do.
What a great fight! And Cosell, too. Cosell, despite himself, was a truly great announcer, especially in boxing.
SUGARRAY. LEONARD ONE OF THE GREATEST;BOXING PHARAOHS OF ALL TIMES
Benitez el Campeon mas Joven con 17 de edad ...Soy Boricua Puneta...🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Two superb boxers.when class met class. I always thought though Leonard won the fight , it should not have been stopped. . They say the Fab Four are Sugar ray leonard Roberto Duran Tommy Hearns and Marvin ? Hagler . I think it should be rebranded the fabulous five to include Wilfredo ( the radar ) Benitez.
Yes, I agree!
Leornard was too good .
it shoudnt be stop so early. He look ok to continue fighting
You insane he was cut and exhausted. He would have been dead. 😂
We had the highlights in the UK the next day. As somebody else has mentioned, it was on a Friday, so they fitted it into Grandstand, the Sat afternoon TV sport show. At school on the Monday everyone was talking about it, and everyone wanted to be Sugar Ray Leonard. The bits towards the end when they're head to head exchanging hooks have stayed with me since then - nice to see that passage included here!
Benitez a great and gentle champ, but him nothing can against this Ray Sugar more powerfull and ferocious finisher. TKO by the head cut, but also becouse continue, would have to become an excessive punishment for Benitez. Excellent refree decision after two knock down by a generous Wilfred. What shots and clean fight!
I grew up watching both of these boxers what a great time for boxing 🥊 🥊
Questo ko di Benitez è simile a a quello subito da Meldrick Taylor contro Julio Cesar Chavez...Anche quella volta, l' arbitro ( Richard Steel) fermo' il match a pochi secondi dalla fine,come fece Carlos Padilla in questo incontro....
But I think it was scandalous for Meldrick Taylor because he could finish the fight
@@ElTerribleProduction I' am agree .
@@ElTerribleProduction dude was clearly in lala land and would have got put in a coma had it continue. Watch the first Mosley-Mayorga fight. The time was identical as the Chavez-Taylor fight and Mayorga got put down violently.
Pico pa, la Toleda Jajajajaja 😹 JAJAJAJAJA 👍😁😝😂.
What a fight.
Real Facts.💯💯
Sugar Ray was a brilliant boxer puncher!!!
Leonard, Era Veloz, pero Le faltaba, Potencia de Nock aut, CTM 😂 Jajajajaja 😹 JAJAJAJAJA 👍.
Here because of Mike Tyson podcast with Suger Ray
This is very technical & tactical fight. Both fighters lay traps after traps even behind or between traps.
Yes, with ferocity the baseline.
Leonard loved to wait until guys had a truckload of milage on them before he would fight them. He was big on show boating. He'd hold a guy at the back of the neck and hit him with repeated uppercut & and the referees let him get away with it cause it sold popcorn.
I never liked Leonard, but he was a good fighter and even better thespian. I don't know why, but he was one of those guys I lived to see get his ass kicked.
Benitez was in peak form here. FOH
Sugar Ray Leonard the best I saw , great insinde and outside the ring very humble and good human being 🥊👏
I remember losing USD 20 to my colleague onboard our vessel docked in montreal, canada. Leonard is too good for my champion.
Still remember the 11th round where Leonard was taking the fight to Benitez. And out of nowhere Wilfred nails Ray with a stinging left hook that momentarily stunned Leonard and left him wide open. Then Benitez went for the home run with a right that JUST missed Rays chin by a whisker. Had Wilfred connected with it the match could have taken a very different turn. One of the very best title fights ever.
Can you start making highlights with good music again? It has a certain charm to it
Yes I will making again in the future. But I like too with the original sound.
SUGAR RAY LEONARD ES EL MEJOR DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS.
one hell of a fight, both boxers took sore serious blows to the body, a la roberto duran, who hit the hardest body shots in boxing..
I believe I was in the 3rd grade when they fought. I was going for Leonard. I didn't know much about the rules of boxing, but even then I thought Benitez could've finished the fight. Boxing was grest back then. Those guys actually FOUGHT each other in the ring.
Benitez perdeu, mas ofereceu ao mundo uma aula de técnica de boxe. Também mostrou espírito desportista no fim do combate.
Leonard troppo forte per Benitez
Cosell was OK for an occasional observation about records or history, but he was terrible at calling live action.
Leonard vs Benitez 90s is equal to the 2025 Benavidez vs Morrel. Both show real n true boxing spirit n warrior heart. Ducking Canelo doesn't have no slightest piece of this warrior n spartan aura.
When fighters had skills.
Me parece que influye que leonard era su peso natural y benitez no era welter .si fue una gran pelea pero luce mas fuerte leonard.
En todos los sentidos Leonard se ve imponente,velocidad,defensa y contrataque.Benitez se defendía bien,pero no puedes pretender ganar una pelea si solo te defiendes.Una buena defensa tiene que venir acompañada de un buen contraataque para que haga efecto esa defensa.De lo contrario no puedes ganar.Leonard mostro en esta pelea que si le hubieran subido al cuadrilátero con el córrelon del Mayweather no le habría alcanzado el pasársela corriendo toda la pelea;de cualquier forma contra alguien así con estás condiciones como Leonard no hay modo que te alcanze el solo andar corriendo.A Benítez le faltó pegada,y si subió de peso eso también afecta,no le quitemos mérito a Leonard gran peleador.
Ganaba por desición igual pero mal parada la pelea
Why would they stop that fight wtf🤦🏽♂️
Benitez needed 4 more fights before sharing the ring with Fabolously skilful Leonard. Yes, Benavidez didn't have the team capable of seeing this disparity of their skills n experience n emotion control. What a pity indeed !
Ray lost his title to a old overblown lightweight
Gueon Ray leonard buscando a Benítez para felicitarlo.
Ray said Benitez punches hurt bad
WHEN BOXING WAS FULL OF REAL CHAMPIONS!!! NOWADAYS IN 2024 BOXING IS FULL OF REAL CLOWNS!!!!😂😂😂
What great era for boxing...in all the weight classes. I just realized I have no idea who the current heavy weight world champion is. Maybe it's just me but it seems boxing has lost much of its popularity.
I was tired from merely watching them.
Porque le dieron el nocaut? si Benitez podía aguantar esos 15 segundos...
It was mentioned that Wilfred dated Ray's sister!!
Masterclass pugilists
Fuxxxxx now cmon... lol Sugar Ray yo. Benitez too
O que houve com esse árbitro?! Ficou maluco? Benitez ainda parecia bem qdo ele interrompeu... coisas do boxe, né?!
Benitez was rusty had not fought in a year
Getting repeaterdly cracked by a very pretty man, with low ckeeek bones and a raspy voice is so conflicting… Suga came for violence, what a fight.
Frente a leonard, benites, parece un amateur..
Sugar Ray seemed to hurt him with every punch!
