LOS ANGELES, April 12 (UPI) -- Boxing great Sugar Ray Leonard and professional dancer Anna Trebunskaya were eliminated from "Dancing with the Stars" in Los Angeles Tuesday night.

"I put up a good fight and I will cherish this moment. Great friends, great people, great show," Leonard said upon learning his fate.

Asked what he enjoyed most, he replied, "I love the spirit of the show."

Still in the running for the coveted mirrorball trophy are Ralph Macchio, Kirstie Alley, Kendra Wilkinson, Hines Ward, Petra Nemcova, Chelsea Kane, Romeo, Chris Jericho and their professionally trained partners.
