Hagler
Hagler! I remember watching it and wondering at the end how the hell they got the decision so wrong. I was convinced Hagler won it by a wide margin. I rewatched recently and had Hagler winning 7 rounds to 5. Either way Hagler was ROBBED!!!!

Hagler won the fight. Leonard bought the judges
I think of all the opinions so far I was the only one to see it live. AS i was about 38 at the time not 6 or 10 and the 6 people who were with me including 2 world champs thought Lenoard knicked it.

No offense but if you were 38 then I guess you are now at an age where you memories are fading fast and we consequently shouldn't take anything you say seriously.Originally Posted by Scrap
I'm suprised you manage to operate a computer to be honest!
And to manage to type out a post without falling asleep, impessive!
just kidding
I was 13 at the time and thought Hagler won the fight....I watched it as recently as 6 months ago and STILL think Hagler won the fight...Originally Posted by Scrap

Well of course you would at 13 memory sticks in the mind. Be it right or wrong, but the impression never alters. Selective ideals, nothing new dont worry about it

The exact same for me. 13 when I first saw it, rewatched it within the last 3 months and still think Hagler won. I watched it on TV by myself and when they announced the decision I remember looking around the room wondering what the hell just happened. My first disappointment with boxing.Originally Posted by bigragu

I grew up watching my cousin Luke Capuano fight so I have been in the fight game for abot 28 years. I knew what I was looking at ....I knew about the BS last 20 seconds of flurries by Leonard and didn't fall trap to "IT". I scored it on the first 1:30 and last. the last 20 seconds couldn't sway me unless there was a Knock Down or something major...none of that happened....Hagler won the fight....Originally Posted by Scrap

if you check out his record it speaks volumes. He was a puncher/brawler. He could really bang. He was 21-5 with 20 KO's and fought Mike Rossman for the title twice.Originally Posted by Scrap
