Blame the refs all you want, Marvin..... but you left a lot of things undone in there. He had to know better than that. Not taking any credit away from Leonard, who for me has absolutely one of the very best resumes in boxing history. But Hagler definitely must have wanted that one back as a "do over".
I think Hagler's biggest mistake was fighting in an orthodox stance which he did for about 5 rounds.
