On June 16, 2000 in Panama City, Panama, Roberto Duran and Pat Lawlor squared off for the second time in their careers fighting for the N.B.A. Super Middleweight Title. Lawlor had defeated Duran in 1991 when Duran injured his shoulder in the fight. Duran got his revenge in this match winning a unanimous 12 round decision over Lawlor. Offered here are the fight worn gloves used by Roberto Duran in this match. The gloves are red, white and blue leather and were manufactured by Grant. They show exceptional wear including tape marks where tape was applied to them. Following the fight the gloves were given to the head of Grant Boxing (the glove manufacturer), Grant Phillips. Mr. Phillips had the gloves signed by Roberto Duran on the backhand. The gloves come with an LOA from Grant Phillips and with an LOA from Craig Hamilton of JO Sports, Inc. A scarce offering from this newly elected member of the Boxing Hall Of Fame, Roberto Duran.
