Vinny Pazienza vs Roberto Duran l (Highlights)

Описание: The New York Times June 26, 1994
Vinny Pazienza entered the ring tonight with white stripes painted on his face and left it with blood streaming from a cut.

In between, the 31-year-old pounded out a unanimous 12-round decision over the 43-year-old Roberto Duran at the M-G-M Grand. Judge Chuck Giampa scored the middleweight bout 117-113 and Dave Moretti and Jerry Roth had it 117-112, although they all raised eyebrows by scoring the fifth round even (10-10) despite a clean knockdown by Duran.

Pazienza got up immediately and took a mandatory 8-count. Later in the round, the fighters' heads collided and Pazienza was cut above the right eye. Blood streamed from the cut for the rest of the fight, but didn't seem to bother him.

Pazienza dominated the second half of the fight as Duran tired, but admitted: "I thought I would beat him easier. I was a little off."

Duran maintained that he was the rightful victor. "If this kid's so tough, look at his face and look at me," he said. "I didn't lose the fight."

Duran, 93-10 with 65 knockouts, isn't ready to give up yet. Asked if he would consider retiring, he said: "No. I will fight."

Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use

Fair use
Additionally, the fair use defense to copyright infringement was codified for the first time in section 107 of the 1976 Act. Fair use was not a novel proposition in 1976, however, as federal courts had been using a common law form of the doctrine since the 1840s (an English version of fair use appeared much earlier). The Act codified this common law doctrine with little modification. Under section 107, the fair use of a copyrighted work is not copyright infringement, even if such use technically violates section 106. While fair use explicitly applies to use of copyrighted work for criticism, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research purposes, the defense is not limited to these areas. The Act gives four factors to be considered to determine whether a particular use is a fair use: the purpose and character of the use (commercial or educational, transformative or reproductive); the nature of the copyrighted work (fictional or factual, the degree of creativity); the amount and substantiality of the portion of the original work used; and the effect of the use upon the market (or potential market) for the original work.
