He did start out slow, but SRL wasnt exactly putting on a clinic either. SRL ran from the start and only put a combination together here or there, other than that he would try to hit and move with a lot more moving involved.

I watched that fight live on TV and couldnt believe it when they announced the winner. I remember back then thinking Hagler won easily. I have since rewatched it and had Hagler winning 115-113. I still dont see how SRL won that fight.

I think it is sad that this is the fight that SRL hangs his hat on for his career. I have read some interviews were SRL has stated that this fight was his crowning achievement. IMO he just got lucky!!! He didnt put on a boxing clinic or anything close. It was all flash, nothing else.
