Leonard v Hagler

[Syntax Error]

I did not know Hagler would be that arrogant in his biggest money fight of his career. I thought he prepared like a demon and did not like the mind games of Leonard.

When the fight was so close the factors of over confidence, size of the ring, gloves, 12 rounds etc made all the difference.

I think Leonard got into his mind & played him like a fiddle.

Team Leonard allowed Hagler to have the lion's share of the purse (just), knowing full well that Marvin was obsessed with a big payday, whilst Leonard negotiated all the really important things in his favour.

There was one moment in the fight Hagler had Leonard caught in the corner hurt and he smiled at Leonard thinking "yes, I've got you". I wished Marvin did.
