At the Spectrum in Philadelphia Willie the Worm Monroe hung the only loss on Marvin Hagler that Marvin admits to. only 3459 spectators braved a rough snowstorm to see the fight. Of course in two later meetings, Marvin stopped "The Worm". In fact after this bout "Marvelous didnt lose another fight for 11 years.
