Held on December 7, 1989, “Uno Mas” (one more) was the much-anticipated third fight between Sugar Ray Leonard and Roberto Durán for the super middleweight title. The name refers to “The Superfight,” their second match nine years earlier when Durán abruptly called it quits after the eighth round, allegedly saying “No mas” (no more) to Leonard. This time, Leonard would win in a unanimous 12-round decision. This was the first major event held at the Mirage Hotel that had just opened in Las Vegas a few weeks earlier on November 22. At the time, it was the largest hotel in the world. The composition is slightly less dynamic than Neiman’s other sports images, with Leonard and Durán appearing more rigidly posed than his typical figures. The crowd, however, bristles and pops in the background, their cameras held high to capture the action from the sidelines.
