A Hagler fight that deserves more credit

I have never seen the fight, maybe I should. I wanna see this and Hagler vs Duran, I hear Duran put up one hell of a fight. Starr already said it, but I was thinking the same thing, what happened to Mugabi? He was KO'd in one round not just by Norris, but by Gerald Mccellan too I think, and a couple other guys. That seems strange to me, course same thing happened to Kenny Norton too.

Excellent point

There's a reason he was called John 'the Beast' Mugabi.
He was a very heavy hitter.
I agree that was a very enjoyable contest and IIRC it won fight of the year in the Ring magazine for that year.
Don't quote me on that though.

Marvin didn't have much one punch ko power, it was the acculumation of punches that eventually knocked the opponent out.
Mugabi was a heavy hitter, but everytime he stepped up he lost.......
Either Hagler runied him or we are overestimating Hagler's power

with Mugabi it was Women Drugs Herpies, and bollocks to the lot of them, I want my money what Ive already spent.
