Hagler screwed up by giving away the first two rounds if you ask me. Leonard was poetry in motion that night and Hagler was just a tad too slow and had trouble getting off. Leonard's movement in the first three rounds is amazing for someone who'd not had a fight in three years. Hagler didn't go to ...

Nice bet :TU: Reminds me of a bloke, not into boxing, who told me he'd put a large bet on Honeyghan to beat Curry. Of course I told him he was stark raving mad and proceeded to explain to him how there was absolutely no way Lloyd could win.... Not as nice as Hagler to beat hearns at 33/1 and lewis ...

Leonard had a number of closed doors 12 round fights in preparation for the Hagler clash. As near to real conditions as he could get. One of the guys he "fought" was Anthony "Two Gun" Fletcher - now on Death Row. I was always a Hagler fan ( impossible not to be really ) and I th...

didn`t leonard throw some flashy bolo punches in that round? its been a while since i last seen it but there was one particular round where he was under pressure then he just cut loose with dazzling combo`s. btw i think hagler won. Threw a bolo in about the fourth...threw a combo in the 9th when un...

You'll always get a 50/50 split when asking people who won this fight. Leonard won it for me, but I'll never convince my mate, who to this day argues Hagler won. Hagler played into Leonard's hands: he should've stormed in like he did in the Hearns fight, taking a ring rusty Leonard by surprise. But...

would you say hagler landed more punches in the last round.

Having watched the fight numerous times.. there is no way I will ever be convinced by anyone that Sugar Ray genuinely won that fight ..he didn't. Hagler was robbed basically. Sugar Ray won the early rounds, but for the majority of the fight Hagler was easily on top. Have a look at Sugar Ray's face ...

How did others read this fight. Just out of interest. Hagler won the fight no question. Leonard was just "flashy" and had the crowd practically screaming with delight every time he landed a soft jab on Hagler. This influenced the judges in my opnion. Hagler won by 3 rounds clear, and the ...

HAGlER RETIRED IMMIEDIATELY AFTER THE FIGHT. So a rematch was never an option. Agree though i thought leonard by 2. indeed he did J. but He would have fought SRL again if that was an option. 100% SRL wanted no more of Hagler so no rematch was even offered......Read into that what you will Can you i...

was surprised that he did that actually.

How did others read this fight. Just out of interest. I watched this again the other day. Still Leonard for me by a couple of points. Hagler never really fought the right fight IMHO....He was the hunter that night when he was always better when he could stand his ground and counter. Leonard boxed w...

Must step in there lads. Cowdell wouldn't have beaten Barry in a month of Sunday's.Pat was a good boxer, didn't have a punch and could take a bit but there is now way he would have taken Barry...laughable to even suggest it. Based on his performance against Salvador Sanchez, I think Cowdell could h...
