If anyone is interested in reading how I scored it Selection of articles covering all aspects of boxing, debatable subjects |
117-113 is way too wide IMO it was a very close fight and no more than 2 rounds in it either way. Hagler was stupid and over confident in the first 4 rounds he tried to box Leonard instead of attacking, and if i remember right he was even fighting orthodox instead of Southpaw for a lot of the first 4 rounds, i personally had the fight a draw, Leonard won the first 4 rounds clearly IMO, and Hagler come on strong in the middle rounds, Hagler was 1 point up going into the 12th, but Leonard out punched Hagler in the 12th to get a draw. But if the fight had been 15 rounds like it should of been until Leonard changed that, Leonard would of been stopped round about the 14th round.
