Tito is right there something very fishy about that fight have Marvin Hagler could not seem to pull the trigger. Why Marvin Hagler chose to fight Orthodox for the first six rounds instead of walk straight through him in the Southpaw stance is beyond mystifying
Hamed v Barrera - would love to see that (formerly) little punk get pounded again!
Didn't Leonard tell repeatedly tell Hagler that he could not outbox him?
I wonder if that was part of it.
Hagler miscalculated when he fought orthodox and gave away vital rounds. One judge was just bias, corrupt or mental.Quote:

I think you are reading too much into it. Hagler knew he blew it and knew Leonard would make him beg for the rematch which he was not prepared to do.Quote:

That would have been a great one. Benn made me an instant Stateside fan there and thought he got a bad rap for 1st 'hitting him when down' which he actually didn't. The ref was moving in slow motion and totally unsure about stopping Iran on technical 3 kd rule. What a mini war!Quote:
