Hagler v Sugar Ray

[donnydarkoIRL]

That's not true I heard that Ray gave in to all of Haglers concessions as long as it was 12 rounds. Hagler was told that there would be no fight if it was 15 rounds.

Also the 5 year lay off impressed everyone including two of the judges when they should have concentrated on the fight and who was actually landing the damaging punches and working throughout the round. Also that the challenger had to take the title away from the champion.

Not what Ray says.

And the commentators remarked that the size of the ring greatly favoured Ray and they were wearing everlasts.

Ray talks shit, he is trying to make Hagler look a dick an is exaggerating the mind games that he was having.

Ray Leonard won the fight landed more controled the pace and the ring generalship as well. Watch the fight so much not even funny have Ray winning ever time but doesn't matter what i say Ray while alwasy have the win in the record books so i guess that good enough for me.

FACTS ARE HE ONLY LANDED 15 MORE, NO LANDSLIDE, AND HAGLAR WAS PRESSING FORWARD LANDING THE MORE TELLING SHOTS................... I WAS GONER NEG REP BACK BUT I'VE NEVER DONE THAT TO ANYONE, AND RESPECT EVERYONES FREE TO AIR THERE VIEWS ABOUT FIGHTS, BOXERS ETC ETC..................... I DON'T TAKE IT PERSONAL WHEN SOMEONE SAYS SOMETHING AGAINST A BOXER I'M A FAN OF...........SEEMS YOU DO........... GOOD DAY TO YA SON

Like I said (and posted my card) I thinl Leonard nicked it (and I massively wanted Hagler to win) but I can't see how anybody would not have it any more than 1 round either way

My opinion is that SRL won based on the fact that he did more of what he wanted to do than Hagler. Who would've guessed that he'd get by with some of the antics he pulled in that fight? Better yet, how many times during it did you say " He's going down, this is it ", only for him to turn around and unleash a hellacious flurry and work his way out of the corner/off the ropes?

SRL fought his fight a little more than Hagler fought his, and because of that, I have to agree with the decision. Now, do I think it's not debatable? Hell no. This is one of the few instances in a situation like this where both sides of the argument have just as much validity.
