Just how bad was Haglar robbed if at all against SRL?

TheSouthpaw · 01-17-2013, 04:33 PM

Ive seen this fight I dont know how many times and for the life of me I just dont see Haglar being robbed of anything. I thought it was genius on Leonards part to wait till there was 30 seconds left to steal each round, and had Haglar been a little more busy and patient and fought his own fight instead of falling right into Rays trickery...It might have been a different outcome.

He was the clear victor.

Not the worst robbery ever.

For sure not the worst robbery ever!...But I still dont see clear evidence that Haglar won hands down..

I thought Leonard won 7-5 but haven't seen it in ages. Might have another look.

I thought this myth had been put to sleep years ago.

Anybody who calls this a robbery doesn't know what the fuck they're watching.

TheSouthpaw · 01-17-2013, 04:51 PM

7-5 might be a little to close than most fans would admit.

Because according to Haglar it costed him his career.

It's not true, though. Leonard wouldn't just work in the last minute or thirty seconds. I had him winning six rounds, I think, and for almost all of the rounds he was going at it, hard. Good fight, this.

SRL swept the first four rounds, IIRC.

He was the clear loser.

It was a great fight!..So are you calling it a draw?

It's interchangeable, basically. No answer is wrong.

According to Hagler.
Pernell Whitaker also insinuated that Felix Trinidad had earned a gift in their bout together. Of course Marv would scream robbery, most fighters would.
