Iran Barkley vs Roberto Duran | FULL FIGHT HIGHLIGHTS | WBC Middleweight Boxing |
Iran Barkley 25–4 (16 KO) vs. Roberto Durán 84–7 (62 KO), billed as Steel vs. Stone, was a professional boxing match contested on February 24, 1989, for the WBC middleweight title.
The fight was The Ring magazine’s fight of the year for 1989.
In his previous fight on June 6, 1988, Iran Barkley had upset the reigning WBC middleweight champion Thomas Hearns to claim Hearns’ title. For his first defense, Barkley reached an agreement with Roberto Durán that was contingent on Durán first defeating unheralded journeyman Jeff Lanas in October that same year.
Though Durán barely eked out a split decision win against Lanas, the Barkley-Durán fight was made official in December with it taking place February the following year.
The now-37-year old Durán, who had not had a title fight since being knocked out inside of two rounds by Thomas Hearns in 1984 and had fought mostly unknowns since returning to boxing in 1986, was thought to be washed up and came into the fight as underdog.
Durán’s last title win had come against Barkley’s childhood friend Davey Moore in 1983. Moore had been killed in a freak accident only six months prior and Barkley had hoped to dedicate a victory to his fallen friend stating “This is personal because I remember Duran not so long ago against my friend Davey Moore. This is for Davey, this is really for Davey. I want (Duran) to know from the bottom of my heart, no one can take this title.” Barkley also vowed that the fight would be Durán’s “last hurrah.” Durán was unbothered by Barkley’s trash talk, retorting “Barkley is saying what he’s going to do and not going to do. Come Feb. 24, he’s the one who’s got to worry. I’m going to demonstrate I’m not finished like a lot of people say. I’m going to prove it.”
On the day of the fight, there was some minor controversy at the pre-fight weigh-in which took place to ensure both fighters were at the 160 pound middleweight limit. While Durán weighed in at 156 pounds, Barkley’s initial reading came in at over 164 pounds, which if correct would have led to him being immediately stripped of the title and the fight called off.
After protests from Barkley’s camp, he was allowed to be re-weighed and came in at 159 pounds with the 5 pound discrepancy being explained as Barkley standing on the back edge of the scale.

Shane Mosley 44–5 (1) (37 KO) vs. Ricardo Mayorga 28–6–1 (1) (22 KO) was a professional boxing match contested on September 27, 2008, for the vacant WBA Inter-Continental light middleweight title.
Negotiations for a Shane Mosley–Ricardo Mayorga fight began in mid-June 2008 after a planned Mosley vs. Sergio Mora WBC light middleweight title fight fell through days earlier.
Mora had upset previous light middleweight champion Vernon Forrest a week earlier after which he entered into negotiations to face Mosley in his first defense, but Forrest had a rematch clause in his contract and demanded an immediate rematch from Mora, threatening legal action should he face another opponent, resulting in Mora and Mosley ending their negotiations and Mosley instead pivoting to Mayorga.
In August, the Mosley–Mayorga fight was announced at a press conference held at The Biltmore Los Angeles at which Mayorga vowed to knock Mosley out within the first three rounds.
