The legendary Panamanian former WBC world champion Roberto “Manos De Piedra” Duran stopped by in “The City of Stone”,
Tashkent, Uzbekistan to help kick off the 2023 WBC Boxing Convention. Also present was former WBC word champion Adonis “Superman” Stevenson, a fighter well remembered for his rock-hard punching power. Once introduced to Stevenson, Duran immediately took to the Haitian-born Canadian. It was a legendary meeting of “rock stars” in the Stone City.
Man, I Love Roberto Duran !! What a Legend !!!!
Awesome
Duran is looking great. He has lost weight and actually looks younger. Good for him. I’m also glad to see Stevenson being Able to laugh and enjoy life on his own as he had a serious scare a few years back. He almost paid the price. Good story.
Glad to see “el cholo” traveling and looking healthy. Also, I am happy for Superman, I truly hope he is ok
Roberto Duran was a joy to watch train and an exceptional boxer, champion! The look, the stance, the grit, the boxing moves, the power, the entertainer; he is my favorite boxing champion. Duran still motivates and enspires! ¡El gran campion del mundo, Roberto “Manos de Piedra” Duran!
Looks like Duran is having an OJ. Kind of ironic because he blamed his stomach cramps that caused the no mas incident on drinking too much oj and pigging out on chicken wings after the weigh in. Also, it’s good to see Adonis Stevenson out and about. How is he doing these days?
Love him so much..
Duran one of my favorite fighters of all time. Absolutely naturally gifted. I will always rank him ahead of Ray Leonard after he beat Leonard in their initial matchup. Leonard faced Duran at his ferocious, well-trained best in Montreal in 1980. I met Leonard two months later in Vegas prior to the Curtis Parker vs Dwight Davison fight at the Caesars Palace, Sports Pavilion.
Roberto”Hands of Stone”, has my full respect… I’m 60, and I’ve been watching him since I was just a youngster! ✨
