Roberto Duran vs Esteban De Jesus 2 | March 16, 1974

No big fights tonight so Duran week continues!

This time his 2nd fight against his 1st great rival Esteban De Jesus (first fight). In 1972, Esteban De Jesus delivered Duran the first loss of his career when he dropped him and took a decision in a non-title bout. So while Duran would remain the lightweight champion, De Jesus was out there lurking over all his accomplishments. Both guys would continue to tear thru the division with Duran going 10-0 and De Jesus going 8-0 before the two would meet again.

This time, instead of Madison Square Garden, the two would meet in Gimnasio Nuevo Panama in Panama (now named the Roberto Duran Arena btw). And De Jesus would get a proper crack at the 135lb title.
