Thread: SRL Hagler (i know i know)

i know this has been done to death but being as though i had never seen this fight i never put my two cents in to it. now that i have finaly seen this fight i must say that i disagree with my father and say that SRL won that fight 115 to 113. i know the popular thing to say amoung boxing fans is that hagler won but i wanna know who you guys think won the fight.

for those of you younger than me who have never seen the fight i advise you to do a search on the file sharing board. there is a very good copy of the fight that you can download.

I seen it multiple times i think Leonard won it by 1 round Hagler gave away first 4 rounds trying to box with Leonard and that imo is what just edged it in Leonards way it was big lead to start off with and Leonard just edged it although Hagler comeback strong in middle rounds.

get very annoyed when people claim Hagler was 'robbed'. IMO SRL won the fight but JUST....and a robbery suggests that Hagler CLEARLY won the fight, which he simply didnt. Would have been a worse robbery is Hagler was awarded the fight IMO.

Totally agree.

i think that Hagler won, but not by much, Leonard was overwhelming early, and won his rounds clearly, then Hagler started to outwork him and take over, i had Hagler winning by like 2 rounds if i remember correctly, but either way i think a draw would have been an ok decision, and was a robbery by no means

I gave alot of the closer round to Hagler for aggression, Leonard's showboating would steal all of Haglers thunder. I am a little biased towards Hagler tho....It was extremely close, thats why its hard to argue the outcome...any way it turned out.Callling it a robbery is a bit harsh, would have loved to see a rematch.

it was definetly in no way a robbery.

I thought that SRL won but can see how people may think the other way. A draw would even have been fair.

I say SRL, but Hagler lost it because of the first three rounds, and its his own fault for trying to box a better boxer. I had him winning the rest of the fight by one or two rounds so he ended up losing by one or two points.

My impression is the same as most. SRL by 1, maybe 2. Hagler just gave up too many rounds at the beginning. I think somebody forgot to tell him that it was a 12 round fight. If it had been a 15 round fight Hagler would have won. He defenately had the momentum.

for the life of me, i cannot believe people think SRL won that fight.

Well i could say the same to you fir thinking Hagler won it was razor thin fight could of gone either way i would of been happy with a draw personally but even if you think Leonard won or lost he hadn't fought in 3 years and went way above his natural weight and fought Middleweight king and beat him thats some achievement.

It's not so much that Leonard won. But the main fact that Hagler lost. He only has himself to blame giving away the early rounds if he'd been competitive in at least 2 of those rounds he wouldnt have lost, but he gave them away and thats his fault. The only person who robbed Marvin Hagler was Marvin Hagler

i thought srl won

cause hagler had a weak start

Totally agree.

I second that!
