Hagler v Sugar Ray

[jmbtandy]

I went through most of my life believing that Marvin Hagler was robbed against Sugar Ray Leonard, however after watching the fight again in a lot more detail I actually surprised myself in scoring SRL as the winner of the fight, Hagler threw away a lot of rounds especially the first few boxing as a southpaw. I actually scored the fight 117-113 to SRL

I thought Ray won by a round or two.

Was going to do a poll about this.

AGAIN!

I think Ray also threw alot of rounds away by running and fighting like an amateur I had for Hagler 8 rounds to 4

Every time I score it I have it 6 rounds a piece, Hagler gave some vital rounds away early.

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.

at the time i bet on Ray , and i also thought he won , but looking back it was a harsh was to loses a title after such along time , maybe a draw would have been fairer as it was hard to score.The crowd played a pretty big part also.

Never thought it was anywhere near a robbery. Just a lot of people that either disliked Ray personally or his fighting style as it compared to Hagler's.
