Hagler v Sugar Ray

[Dark Lord Al]

My stance has always been this:

I thought Hagler narrowly won the fight.. I believe I scored it 115-114.

That being said, I think Halger has only himself to blame for the fight being so close and therefore left up to the judges. He fought tentative early on, when he should have been pressuring Leonard right from the opening bell.

That was Hagler's aggorance he hated Leonard so he wanted to try and embarrass Leonard by showing him that he could out box him as well as out brawl him etc. But that cost him big time he should of used that hate in a different way by going all out and swarm all over him from the opening bell.

ICE you are not far from the truth , i always felt Marvin's comments about KNOCKING Ray out whenever he chose to ,hence as you say he gave away the first few rounds boxing orthadox trying to out box Ray ,this really made a difference to the scoring as of course Ray went the distance , which in turn round by round the crowed shouted more for Ray , which always makes the judges think about whos winning close rounds.
