On December 7, ** 
**, the boxer Sugar Ray Leonard triumphs over a lackluster Roberto Duran in a unanimous 12-round decision at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas. Leonard became a sensation in the boxing world during the 1980s, providing a superstar presence that boxing lacked after Muhammad Ali retired in 1981.
After a successful amateur career, Leonard earned real notice when he won a gold medal at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal. Three years later, he won the World Boxing Council (WBC) welterweight title over Wilfred Benitez.

I was at the Uno Mas fight. I think I have the poster somewhere in my attic. Wonder if it is worth anything
I’m sure there is a collector or two who would take it off your hands 💵
I remember that fight, but I didn't realize then it took place on the anniversary of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor by Imperial Japan.
I saw that too and it surprised me just as much.
