SUGAR RAY LEONARD vs. LARRY U.S. BONDS (Onsite) 

Description : On March 28, 1981, Sugar Ray Leonard defended his title against Larry U.S. Bonds, the WBC sixth-ranked contender, at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, New York. What we have here is the original vintage onsite poster from that event.

Larry U.S. Bonds was a southpaw, which made him a good opponent for Leonard, given that his next opponent was scheduled to be the WBA Light Middleweight Champion Ayub Kalule, also a southpaw. Leonard was the aggressor throughout, with Bonds circling the ring. He staggered Bonds with a right in the fourth round and dropped him with a follow-up combination. Bonds got up and continued to move, with Leonard in pursuit. Leonard dropped him again in the tenth. Bonds rose but Leonard didn't let him off the hook. The referee stopped the fight with Bonds taking punishment in a corner & unable to defend himself.
