Marvin Hagler's Record

Hello:

Back in 1973, while working at a radio station in Worcester, MA, I attended at fight which was billed as 'The first fight of Marvin Hagler's Professional Career.
I also helped broadcast the fight, which was my first job in radio, at WAAB, Worcester.

So, that is why I wonder how come Marvin Hagler's record doesn't show any fight in Worcester, MA, at the beginning of his career?
I was there and saw it live.

Do you remember the approximate date? Perhaps it's on his record but the venue incorrectly listed as Brockton.

hagler / antuofermo re-match.
the box-rec records show this fight as a fifth round stoppage but i`m pretty sure this fight was stopped in the fourth.

It wasn't stopped during the 4th, it was stopped between rounds, after the end of the 4th.

That would still make it a TKO4, wouldn't it?

Not out for 5 -- would be a TKO 5.

That's it: not out for the 4th means a TKO5, doesn't it?

I wanted to say: not out for the 5th means a TKO5

No, I believe that's a TKO4, because the fight never made it into the 5th round. For example, Roy Jones' fights vs. Harding and Harmon were both stopped after 10 rounds had been completed but prior to the start of the 11th, and both are listed as TKO10.

Yeah, but they took place in Florida and Louisiana.

Hagler-Antuofermo took place in Massachusetts.

Each state has their own rules & regulations. :(
The new ABC is supposed to unify the rules, but that hasn’t happen yet.

I assume that Blue's post is the explanation and that both of us were right (I remember for instance Toney TKO10 Barkley as Barkley wasn't out for the 10 and 9 rds had been completed).

Saludos, vikingo.
