Roberto Durán Samaniego (Lahir 16 Juni 1951) adalah mantan petinju profesional asal Panama yang berkarier dari tahun 1968 hingga 2001. Dia memegang gelar juara dunia di empat kelas berbeda, yakni kelas ringan, kelas welter, kelas menengah-ringan, dan kelas menengah serta menjadi juara dunia takterbantahkan dan linier di kelas ringan dan juara liner di kelas welter.[1] Dia juga menjadi petinju kedua yang bertanding hingga berumur 50 tahun, mengikuti jejak Jack Johnson. Duran dikenal sebagai petarung agresif yang bisa bertinju dengan berbagai gaya dan menekan lawannya. Dia dijuluki "Manos de Piedra" atau "Tangan Batu" lantaran memiliki pukulan keras yang hebat dan pertahanan yang sangat bagus..[2]

Pada tahun 2002 Durán dipilih oleh majalah The Ring sebagai salah satu petinju terhebat dalam 80 tahun terakhir dan menempati peringkat kelima,[3] sedangkan sejarawan tinju Bert Sugar menilainya sebagai petinju terhebat sepanjang masa peringkat kedelapan. Associated Press memilihnya sebagai petinju kelas ringan terbaik pada abad ke-20,[4] dan banyak yang menganggapnya sebagai petinju kelas ringan terhebat dalam sejarah. Durán pensiun selamanya pada bulan Januari 2002 ketika berumur 50 tahun, setelah mengalami kecelakaan mobil di Argentina pada bulan Oktober 2001 dan mengharuskannya menjalani operasi demi menyelamatkan nyawanya. Dia sebelumnya pernah pensiun pada bulan November 1980, Juni 1984, dan Agustus 1998, tetapi kemudian berubah pikiran. Durán mengakhiri karier tinju profesionalnya dengan rekor 119 pertandingan, 103 kemenangan, dan 70 knockouts. Dari bulan Mei 1971 hingga pertandingan yang kedua melawan Sugar Ray Leonard pada bulan November 1980, serta dalam pertandingannya melawan Wilfred Benítez bulan Januari 1982, Durán dilatih oleh pelatih tinju legendaris Ray Arcel.

Masa awal

Roberto Durán lahir pada tanggal 16 Juni 1951 di Guararé, Panama. Ibunya, Clara Samaniego, adalah warga asli Guararé, dan ayahnya, Margarito Durán Sánchez, dari Arizona, Amerika Serikat, dan merupakan keturunan Meksiko.[5] Dia dibesarkan di permukiman kumuh El Chorrillo yang berada di distrik "La Casa de Piedra" (Rumah Batu) di Kota Panama. Dia mulai berlatih tanding dengan para petinju berpengalaman di gimnasium Neco de La Guardia ketika baru berumur delapan tahun.[6]

Karier amatir

Selama menjadi pertinju amatir, Durán mencatatakan rekor of 29–3[7] (sumber lain menyebutkan 18–3 atau 13–3[7][8]), dan 3 kekalahan itu terjadi pada tiga pertandingan amatir pertamanya. Setelah mengakhiri karier amatirnya, Durán melakoni debut tinju profesionalnya pada bulan Februari 1968 ketika berumur 16 tahun.[9]

Karier profesional

Kelas Berat-ringan

Duran memenangkan 31 pertandingan profesional pertamanya secara beruntun. Dia memperoleh kemenangan KO atas calon juara tinju kelas bulu Ernesto Marcel dan mantan juara tinju kelas bulu-super Hiroshi Kobayashi, dan puncaknya adalah saat dia mengalahkan Ken Buchanan pada pertandingan pertama mereka yang digelar pada bulan Juni 1972 di Madison Square Garden, New York, untuk perebutan gelar juara dunia kelas ringan sabuk WBA. Durán yang saat itu berstatus 2 to 1 underdog berhasil merobohkan sang juara bertahan ketika laga baru berjalan 15 detik pada ronde pertama dan kemudian menghajarnya dengan pukulan-pukulan keras sepanjang ronde tersebut.[10] Poinnya jauh di atas poin Buchanan pada tiga kartu skor ketika bel berdering untuk menandai berakhirnya ronde ke-13. Saat itu Durán (sepertinya tidak mendengar suara) terus melayangkan beberapa pukulan tambahan ketika Buchanan bertahan di depan tali. Karena Duran terus melayangkan pukulan, wasit Johnny LoBianco menariknya untuk menjauhkan dari Buchanan. Dia menurunkan tangan Duran, yang tampaknya menyebabkan pukulan low blow yang tidak disengaja. Buchanan jatuh kesakitan di atas kanvas. Pelatihnya, Gil Clancy, mengatakan dia percaya bahwa pukulan low blow tersebut berasal dari lutut Duran. Duran tidak didiskualifikasi; dia justru dianggap sebagai pemenang melalui kemenangan KO pada ronde ke-13.[11] Kolumnis Red Smith dari The New York Times menulis bahwa LoBianco harus memberikan kemenangan kepada Durán, bahkan meski pukulan itu adalah pukulan low blow karena "menarik apa pun selain pisau dianggap terlalu murah hati" dalam dunia tinju Amerika.[12] Buchanan mengatakan dia meninggalkan pertandingan itu "dengan penis sakit".[13]

Setelah memenangkan gelar, Durán melakoni beberapa pertandingan nongelar. Kemudian pada tahun itu, dalam pertandingan nongelar lainnya, dia dikalahkan oleh Esteban De Jesús dalam pertandingan 10 ronde, melalui keputusan juri. Durán kembali ke jalur kemenangan dengan keberhasilannya mempertahankan gelar ketika melawan Jimmy Robertson, Hector Thompson, dan calon juara kelas ringan, Guts Ishimatsu. Pada tahun 1974 Durán kekalahannya dari De Jesus dengan kemenangan KO yang brutal pada ronde ke-11. Pada tahun 1976 dia mengalahkan calon juara kelas welter ringan, Saoul Mamby. Secara keseluruhan, Durán berhasil mempertahankan gelarnya sebanyak 12 kali (11 di antaranya melalui knockout) dan mencatatkan rekor 62–1. Pertandingan terakhir yang dijalaninya untuk mempertahankan gelar terjadi pada tahun 1978 ketika Durán melawan De Jesus untuk ketiga kalinya. Dalam pertandingan unifikasi gelar ini Durán sekali lagi membuat De Jesus KO dan merampas gelar tinju kelas ringan sabuk WBC miliknya. Durán melepaskan gelar tinju kelas ringan takterbantahkan pada bulan Februari 1979.

Kelas welter dan "Perkelahian di Montreal"

Melepaskan gelar tinju kelas ringan menjadi persiapan Duran dalam upayanya memperoleh gelar kelas welter. Durán mendapatkan kemenangan saat melawan mantan juara kelas welter sabuk WBC Carlos Palomino dan Zeferino Gonzales sehingga memungkinkannya mendapat kesempatan melakoni pertandingan kejuaraan melawan juara kelas welter sabuk WBC Sugar Ray Leonard yang saat itu belum pernah terkalahkan. Olympic Stadium di Montreal (lokasi tempat Leonard memenangkan medali emas Olimpiade pada Olimpiade Musim Panas 1976 dipilih menjadi tempat pertandingan. Durán kesal mendapati kenyataan bahwa dia hanya akan mendapat seperlima uang yang didapatkan Leonard, kendati Durán akan menjalani pertandingan itu dengan rekor 71–1 yang mengesankan dianggap oleh banyak orang sebagai petinju terbaik pada dekade 1970-an. Leonard dan pihaknya mengharapkan sambutan hangat dari tempat Leonard mendapatkan medali emas Olimpiade, tetapi Leonard dan pihaknya terkejut karena Leonard juga mendapatkan sejumlah sambutan yang kurang baik di Montreal, sedangkan Durán sangat disukai oleh para penonton di sana. Leonard kemudian mengakui bahwa popularitas Durán di Kanada "threw me for a loop" atau membuatnya kebingungan. Pada tanggal 20 Juni 1980 Durán merampas gelar tinju kelas welter WBC karena mengalahkan Leonard dengan keputusan bulat dalam pertandingan 15 ronde (145–144, 148–147, 146–144). Kendati demikian, hasil itu sempat keliru diumumkan sebagai majority decision di dalam ring dengan kartu skor 148–147 salah disebutkan sebagai 147–147.[14] Pertandingan itu kemudian dikenal sebagai "The Brawl in Montreal" atau "Perkelahian di Montreal".

"No Más" di New Orleans

Setelah mengalahkan Leonard di Montreal, Durán memperoleh status ikonik di negaranya, Panama. Leonard mengajukan klausul pertandingan ulang dan meminta digelar pada bulan November tahun itu. Dalam pertandingan mereka yang kedua, Leonard berhasil mengubah taktiknya. Dia menggunakan lebih banyak gerakan kaki dan gerakan tubuh daripada ketika pertandingan pertama mereka. Durán tidak bisa membuat Leonard di depan tali. Pada ronde ketujuh, setelah Leonard sedikit unggul dalam kartu skor, dia mulai menggoda dan mengejek Durán. Menjelang akhir ronde kedelapan, Durán tiba-tiba berhenti bertarung. Menurut wasit Octavio Meyran dan komentator ABC Howard Cosell, Durán berulang kali berkata "No más" ("tidak lagi"), tetapi dibantah oleh Durán, Ray Arcel and Freddie Brown yang menjadi cornerman dia, dan manajernya, Carlos Eleta. Durán mengklaim bahwa dia berkata "No quiero pelear con el payaso" ("Aku tak ingin bertarung dengan badut ini [Leonard]"). Menurut Meyran, selain berkata "No más", Durán juga berkata dalam kalimat berbahasa Inggris yang tidak tepat "I don't box anymore".[15][16] Dalam sebuah wawancara tahun 2016, Duran mengklaim bahwa dia sebenarnya berkata, "No sigo" ("Aku tidak akan melanjutkanya"). Tidak lama setelah insiden "No más", Durán pensiun dari tinju, tetapi segera berubah pikirannkarena tidak ingin mengakhiri karier dengan catatan buruk..[17]

Kelas menengah-ringan dan menengah

Duran perlu beberapa waktu untuk memulihkan diri dari pertandingan itu dan bahkan menambah beratnya agar bisa mengikuti pertandingan perebutan gelar juara tinju kelas menengah-ringan WBC. Namun, dia gagal dalam upaya pertamanya di divisi itu pada tanggal 30 January 1982 ketika melawan Wilfred Benítez dalam pertandingan 15 dan kalah lewat keputusan bulat. Sebelumnya, dia mengalahkan Nino Gonzalez dan Luigi Minchillo, dua petinju kelas menengah berkemampuan lumayan, dalam pertandingan nongelar selama 10 ronde melalui keputusan juri. Durán kemudian dikalahkan oleh Kirkland Laing dalam pertandingan pada bulan September 1982 di Detroit. Laing yang berasal dari London mengguncang dunia tinju dan memperlihatkan kemampuannya yang menjanjikan, tetapi jarang sekali dia perlihatkan. Laing menang dengan split decision. Setelah mengalahkan petinju Inggris Jimmy Batten pada pertandingan 10 ronde di Miami yang dijuluki The Battle of The Champions, Durán menandatangi kontrak dengan promotor Bob Arum. Ini menandai awal kembalinya Duran dan dia kemudian mengalahkan mantan juara dunia yang kini menjadi hall of famer, José Cuevas, melalui kemenangan KO pada ronde keempat. Kemenangan itu memberinya kesempatan kedua untuk merebut gelar juara tinju kelas menengah-ringan, kali ini melawan juara WBA Davey Moore.

Pertandingan kejuaraan sabuk WBA berlangsung di Madison Square Garden pada tanggal 16 June 1983 dan bertepatan dengan ulang tahun Durán yang ke-32. Moore yang kurang berpengalaman (12–0) tampil berani sepanjang tiga ronde pertama, tetapi pada ronde keempat Durán mengatakan dia tahu bahwa Moore tidak bisa melukainya, dan serangan gencar pun dimulai.[18] Kerumunan penonton pendukung Durán yang berada di samping ring bersorak ketika Durán melayangkan pukulan bertubi-tubi kepada Moore. Pada akhir ronde keenam, mata Moore telah tertutup karena bengkak dan dia roboh menjelang akhir ronde ketujuh. Pertandingan itu akhirnya dihentikan pada ronde kedelapan ketika Moore menerima pukulan-pukulan mengerikan Durán gelar juara dunianya yang ketiga. Setelah dinyatakan menang, Durán diangkat ke udara ketika penonton menyanyikan "Happy Birthday" kepada Durán yang tersedu sedan.[19]

Durán kemudian bertarung melawan Marvelous Marvin Hagler dalam perebutan juara dunia tinju kelas menengah di Las Vegas tanggal 10 November 1983. Selama pertandingan itu, Duran mematahkan tangannya dan kalah dalam pertandingan 15 yang sangat kompetitif. Setelah 13 ronde, dua dari tiga juri membuat Durán unggul satu poin. Juri lainnya membuat poin Durán dan Hagler sama. Hagler bertarung dengan gigih untuk memenangkan dua ronde terakhir dan mendapatkan kemenangan melalui keputusan bulat. Skor dari wasit adalah 144–142, 144–143, dan 146–145. Meskipun kalah, Durán menjadi petinju kedua yang membawa Hagler bertarung hingga 15 ronde untuk memenangkan pertandingan (Vito Antuofermo adalah yang pertama) dan satu-satunya petinju yang melakukannya sewaktu Hagler masih menjadi juara dunia.

Pada bulan Juni 1984 gelar tinju kelas menengah-ringan punya Durán dicopot karena WBA tidak mengizinkan dia bertarung dengan juara sabuk WBC Champion Thomas "Hitman" Hearns dan tidak lagi mengakui Durán sebagai juara dunia ketika Durán melangkah masuk ke dalam ring menghadapi Hearns. Durán kembali membuat sejarah dalam pertandingan itu, tetapi kali ini adalah hal yang keliru. Hearns dua kali merobohkan Durán pada ronde pertama dan ketika kakinya bangkit setelah roboh untuk kedua kalinya, yang mengakhiri ronde itu, dia tidak tahu di mana corner-nya. Hearns untuk ketiga kalinya kembali merobohkan Duran pada kedua dan the fight was stopped, marking the first time in his career that Durán had been knocked out in a fight (the "No Más" fight was officially recorded as a technical knockout, because Duran quit). Durán then retired for a second time, but changed his mind over a year later, and was back fighting in early 1986.

Durán did not contend another title fight until 1989, but made the shot count when he won the WBC Middleweight title from Iran Barkley in February. The fight is considered one of Durán's greatest achievements, as the 37-year-old former lightweight champion took the middleweight crown, his fourth title. In a tough, back-and-forth fight, Durán knocked Barkley down in the eleventh round and Durán won a split decision (118–112, 116–112, 113–116). The bout was named the 1989 "Fight of the Year" by The Ring.

Super middleweight

Duran moved up to super middleweight for a third fight with Sugar Ray Leonard in December 1989 (a fight dubbed Uno Más — One More — by promoters), where Leonard's WBC super-middleweight title was on the line, although Leonard's camp insisted that the fight with Durán be at a 162lbs catchweight instead of the 168lbs super-middleweight limit that Durán favoured. In the end, both weighed in below the 160lbs middleweight limit. Durán was uncharacteristically flat for most of what was a strange fight. Although Leonard won the fight by a wide unanimous decision (120–110, 119–109, 116–111), by the end of the fight Leonard looked the worse for wear as he had suffered several bad cuts. Leonard's lip was busted by a headbutt in the fourth round, his left eye was cut in the eleventh round and his right eye was cut in the twelfth round. The cuts required more than 60 stitches. Durán didn't fight again until 1991, so had given up his WBC middleweight crown that he had won against Barkley. Durán seemed to be in decline after the third fight against Leonard, but he persisted and worked his way into title shots for the lesser IBC super-middleweight and middleweight titles in 1994, 1995 and 1996.

Durán fought Vinny Pazienza twice, in June 1994 and January 1995, for the IBC Super Middleweight Championship, with Pazienza winning both times by unanimous decision. In the first fight, Durán put Pazienza down in Rounds 2 and 5, but referee Joe Cortez controversially ruled the Round 2 knockdown to be a slip. The first fight divided the people watching as some felt that Durán had won a close fight, but others felt that Pazienza had won either narrowly or widely after finishing strongly in the last five rounds. The second fight was more lopsided in Pazienza's favour, as despite the official judges giving Pazienza the win by scores of 116–112, 117–111 and 118–110, the TV commentators expressed puzzlement at the closeness of the official scoring as they thought that Pazienza had won every round in a 120–108 shutout.

In 1996, Durán fought Héctor Camacho for the vacant IBC Middleweight Championship. At the end of the fight, fans and TV commentators seemed in complete agreement that Durán had won the fight in an excellent performance, but the three judges saw the fight very differently and awarded Camacho the victory by a very controversial unanimous decision. Durán's old rival, Sugar Ray Leonard, commentating at ringside, was baffled at the scoring and called it an early Christmas gift for Camacho, with the result motivating Leonard enough to come out of a 6-year boxing retirement to face Camacho himself in 1997. In 1997, Durán was defeated by former champion Jorge Castro in Argentina. Durán then fought Castro in a rematch bout in Panama and won via unanimous decision, maintaining his unbeaten record in Panama.

In 1998, at the age of 47, he challenged 28-year-old WBA Middleweight Champion William Joppy. Joppy, a trim, quick-fisted fighter, battered Durán to defeat in just 3 rounds. It was Duran's most emphatic loss since the Hearns fight, over a decade earlier. Durán then announced his retirement for the third time in August 1998, but soon changed his mind and was back fighting in March 1999.

In June 2000, Durán avenged a previous loss to Pat Lawlor from 9 years before and won the NBA Super Middleweight Championship on his 49th birthday. He lost the title a year later to Héctor Camacho in a rematch bout and in what would be Durán's final fight.

Retirement

In October 2001, Durán traveled to Argentina to promote a salsa music CD that he had just released. While there, he was involved in a car crash and required life-saving surgery. After that incident, he announced his retirement from boxing at the age of 50.[20]

Announcing his retirement, Durán cited the weight issues of his friend, Argentinian football legend Diego Maradona, as motivation for getting back in shape, stating "as of now, I am exercising so that when the [retirement] honors arrive the people will see me in shape. I don't want to [look] like Maradona did, all fat."[20]

Durán's five world title belts, which he won in four different divisions, were stolen from his house in Panama in 1993 during a robbery allegedly staged by his brother-in-law, who gave them to memorabilia seller Luis González Báez, who stood trial for trying to sell stolen goods. González Báez allegedly sold the belts to undercover FBI agents. He alleged that Durán authorized the sale of the five belts to him during a time that Durán was facing financial trouble. On September 23, 2003, a federal judge in Florida ordered the five belts returned to Durán.

His 70 wins by knockout place him in an exclusive group of boxers who have won 50 or more fights by knockout. He is ranked number 28 on The Ring's list of 100 greatest punchers of all time.

On October 14, 2006, Durán was inducted into the World Boxing Hall of Fame in Riverside, California,[21] and on June 10, 2007, into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota, New York.

On June 26, 2020, it was announced on FOX News that Duran was diagnosed with the coronavirus after going to a hospital with common cold symptoms. Duran is undergoing treatment for the disease.[22] Coincidentally, the diagnosis came on the 48th anniversary of Duran's first world title victory against Ken Buchanan, which took place on June 26, 1972. He was released from hospital weeks later.[23]

Today he is the brand ambassador of Panama Blue, Panama's premium bottled water.[24]

Duran is a licensed ultralight aircraft pilot in Panama. He flew a Quick Silver MX model.[25]

Duran's daughter, Irichelle Duran, was a professional boxer herself who garnered a record of 1 win and 2 losses in 3 bouts, with 1 win by knockout. She is a resident of Puerto Rico.[26]

Durán's first appearance in a movie was in the 1979 film Rocky II as a lightning-fast sparring partner for Rocky Balboa. Outside of this, Durán had minor roles in Harlem Nights.

Durán's life and boxing career are told in the documentary Los puños de una nación ("The Fists of a Nation") by Panamanian filmmaker Pituka Ortega-Heilbron. Durán also appears very briefly during an interview for the documentary The Panama Deception (1992), in which he recounts his experience during the United States invasion of Panama.

The biopic Hands of Stone stars Édgar Ramírez as Durán, Robert De Niro as Ray Arcel and Usher as Sugar Ray Leonard, and was released on August 26, 2016.[27][28]

Television

Durán played the drug lord Jesus Maroto in Miami Vice season two, episode 19.

In "Corporate Warriors", the fourth episode of the second season of the hit American crime drama CSI: NY, Durán is mentioned by the medical examiner while discussing a dead man found to have bone grafts put in his hands to boost his punching power.

Music

The song "The Eyes of Roberto Durán" by Tom Russell, from the album The Long Way Around, contains the lyric, "Panama City – it's three in the morning; they're talking 'bout the Hands of Stone."

Durán is mentioned in the third verse of Nas' original demo for It Ain't Hard to Tell in the line: "Metaphors of murder man, hittin' like Roberto Durán, hold the mic in my hand, my lifespan."[29]

The musician Jackie Leven recorded a song ("Museum of Childhood") that explores the events of the second world title fight between Durán and Sugar Ray Leonard.

Jazz musician Miles Davis, an avid boxing fan, recorded a tribute to Roberto Durán titled "Duran".

Durán is also mentioned in the third verse of Paul Thorn's "Hammer and Nail," based on Thorn's nationally televised fight with Durán:

I climbed in the ring with Roberto Durán and the punches began to rain down
He hit me with a dozen hard uppercuts and my corner threw in the towel
I asked him why he had to knock me out and he summed it up real well
He said, 'I'd rather be a hammer than a nail'

Texas rockabilly band Reverend Horton Heat mentions Durán in their song "Eat Steak," off of their album Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em.

Durán is referenced multiple times in the song "Uno Mas" by Alex Soria's band Chino.

Durán's 1983 fight with Davey Moore is referenced in the 2014 single, "The Possum," by American songwriter, Sun Kil Moon (i.e. Mark Kozelek), who often writes about boxers. Kozelek sings: "They threw hard vicious guttural B-flats that shook their opponent / Like a tough Roberto "Hands of Stone" Durán, in the seventh round / Davey Moore, June 16, 1983..." [30]

Durán himself was a Salsa singer once, leading an orchestra named "Felicidad" after his wife. They recorded albums and frequented television shows in Latin America.[31]

Durán is also mentioned by former rap duo Max and Sam (consisting of sports analyst Max Kellerman and his brother Sam) in their song 'Young Man Rumble' with the line "Got skills got stamina got Hands of Stone like the champ from Panama."
