Hagler v Sugar Ray

[Dean Duke]

In negotiations Sugar Ray barged in and demanded "15 rounds, Cleto Reyes Gloves and an 18 x 18 ring."

Hageler reacted angrily "screw you I'm the champ 12 rounds Everlast Gloves and a 21 x 21 ring"

Ray smiled and said ok you're the champ.

Mindgames.

, fucking hell is that true?


Then Leaonard deserved to win, he outsmarted Hagler.
Like most said, IMO Hagler blew it, he tried to be clever instead of fighting his fight which would have been more than enough at that stage of their careers.

It's on the Suns DVD "Best of Boxing" Its an interview with Leonard.

Thanks for that info, bad decision by Hagler IMO I would of gone for 15 rounds and a 18ft ring all day long, knowing that Leonard was coming back after a five year layoff what a Jedi move that was
