There was a lot of interest but few transactions. LAS VEGAS AP) No more "no mas." This time Roberto Duraa didn't quit He couldnt quit But the frustration that prompted "No mas'' in New Orleans nine years ago was once again etched plainly on Dunn's bee. Sugar Ray Leonard bored the crowd but won the Judges to score a lopsided decision over Duran and retain his super middleweight title in a battle of two old adversaries.

Nine years after he forced Duran to quit Leonard was at it again Thursday night, mugging and dancing and jabbing circles around a fighter who suddenly looked very "Leonard dklnt come to fight, be came to run," Duran scoffed. "Be was just running around" It was a masterful technical performance on Leonard's part one that was dearh evident as earh as the second round when Leonard began mugging at Duran and even at one point wound up for bolo punch. As a crowd pleaser, though, it was a bust The lack of sustained action by either fighter brought boos from the crowd throughout the late rounds, and some fans, were even leaving by the loth round "I think I fought a strategic fight," Leonard said Leonard was so dominant that one judge didn't give Duraa a round Another gave him only the 12th round, when Leonard, bleeding from a cut around the left eye, decided to simply dance the round away. Judge Bob Logis had the 13-round fight scored 120-110, Jerry Roth had Leonard winning 119-109 and Joe Cortes had it 116-111. The Associated Press had Leonard winning 118-11L "It was deja vu," Leonard said.

"It had been nine years since we've been together and it was dejam If it was, it was because Leonard was able to turn the dock back and rediscover the form that served him so well the last time. 'Duran, once again, couldnt adjust and spent me evening in futile pursuit of a mobile opponent who refused to stand and trade punches. Leonard won by a decision.

CAT) The Detroit Tigers came to the winter meetings looking to sign a free agent with power. They wanted Kent Hrbek, Hubie Brooks or even Pete O'Brien. After seemingly striking out on those three, they got Lloyd Moseby on Thursday for two years and 63 million.

Moseby, 30, is coming off his worst year since 1982. He batted st .221 with 11 home runs and 43 B'u for Toronto, but the Tigers see a better side: "Moseby brings us several plusses," Detroit general manager Bill Lajoie, said "He's a proven center fielder, he gives us more left-handed power and he's been a base-stealing threat throughout his career." Moseby did steal 24 bases last season, although that was his lowest total since 1982. Moseby has spent his entire career with the Blue Jays, reaching the majors in 1980. He is Toronto's career leader in nine offensive categories, including hits, total bases and steals.
