I'm not sure, I reckon Leonard intelligence won him the fight against Hagler.

Late in his reign, Hagler bacame more of a puncher. I think he anticipated a challenge from the lighter weights, after Duran he had Hearns, Mugabi and Leonard.

In my mind its a real shame that Mugabi had to move up to get his title shot.

I think he would have given Hearns or Mark Medal plently of trouble in 85.

By the way, Ruiz looks out of shape.

This is my first weekend with SKY, so its still a novelty.

One of Tysons finest IMO

Sorry to but a dampener on things,but Ottke won the fight for me by 115-112. Reid did a Starie and blew his chance, the ref was awful but not half as bad as the completely biased commentary we had.

It was the worse bit of officiating I think I have seen, but Neilly and McKenzie focused on this throughout the evening and didn't seem to notice the good bits of defence skills and counters that Ottke did. I thought Ottke was slightly more confortable in this fight than he was vs Starie.

Here's my round by round take on the fight.

Reid,
Reid,
Reid,
Ottke,
Ottke,
9-9,
Otke
Otke
Otke
Otke
Otke
Reid.

However, Ottke is certainly is decline and I think Calzaghe will stop him, however, untill he does Ottke is still #1.

Terrible officating by Sven's brother, but I thought the judges had it right to be honest.
