Leonard, the former 139-pound Olympic gold medalist at Montreal and 21-0 as a pro, spent the early rounds solving Viruet's unorthodox style before taking command of the fight. Giving up three inches in reach and three pounds, Leonard used his swarming offense to build a big lead in the 10-round battle.
