That's my main problem, I go between a draw, and one round win for either fighter.


This is it, my definitive score.




(The whole fight is on Youtube in one big block, if anyone fancies another go themselves.)

Nonsense, Haglers work was so sluggish throughout, the crispness of Leonards outshone Hagler in the majority of the close rounds.

Hagler.

SRL was the "prettier" fighter that night, (as always) but Hagler got the job done.

115-113, But the decision doesn't make me crazy as it was obviously close.

Hagler. I thought so then, and I still think so.

[BobDigi5060]

Sugar Ray Leonard, 7 rounds to 5.

Hagler knows he lost. Score the fight, but look at Hagler's face as the final bell sounds.

[Abdullah]

Leonard by two points.

[Emeritus]

Hagler won, it was a close fight and SRL did good but I truly believe Hagler won but didn't get the decision for business or political reasons.

I understand why people call it a robbery because if you are Team Hagler then ofcourse to get the fight you want (considering his come up) and then come up short like that must really hurt so yes it IS a robbery in that sense.

Then again it was a close fight so its difficult to score and you cant be mad if they score it for the other guy so in that sense it wasn't a robbery

[MVC]

Leonard 115-113

Rounds are earned not stolen, but apparently official and unofficial judges chose when and where to apply that criteria.

Going into that fight I knew Hagler had only two ways to get his hands raised vs Leonard. Score a Knockout or completely dominate rounds to bank them.
Neither of those two happened and so the fight went to the media darling.
Boxing business and politics as usual.
