    I'm curious how some of you scored this bout. Obviously some believe the cards were closer than they should've been, but how exactly did you score it?

    I saw this bout live. The way I remember it Hagler went up on points early. Then Duran started to land lead right hands and it appeared to me was coming on winning rounds to a point where I thought he had a chance to cop the decision. Late in the fight however Duran was completely spent and Hagler overwhelmed him for a decision that in my mind was not disputable. It was a clear Hagler win but a great performance by Duran against a much bigger and stronger opponent. I believe I scored it 9-6 in round. The first 12-13 were a deadlock.

    Hagler by a point. I think he pulled it out in the last round.

    Hagler was missing a lot in this fight.

    Duran was anglers hardest fight ever. I scored it 1pt to marvin with Hagler saving his title with the last two rounds.at various points late Duran hurt Marvin real bad even had him discouraged.

    Hagler by one point here as well. by round two I could see something was amiss. MMH fought with no sense of urgency and just wanted to counter all night. it was almost as boring as Spinks - Braxton

    only the last two rounds did he turn up the heat

    He certainly busted him up. look at his eye. can there be any denial it was a competitive fight?

    Quite a few close, competitive rounds but I don't see how Duran deserves very many of those close rounds, unless we're giving him credit for exceeding expectations.

    I saw it when it happened and remember scoring like 9 6 or 10 5 for Hagler.

    True connoisseurs of slick counterpunching and a chess match will appreciate what Duran did here.he was scoring with very clever sneaky shots all the time that perhaps the beer and corn crowd in the bar didn't pick up on.look at the way Duran evaded that fast straight right at the stArt of round 3 and landed two sickening body shots in response.Marvin was the one feeling those punches.this was a very close fight.I can't remember if it was the 12th or 13th but Duran had a huge round he mauled and at the same time outslicked Hagler there and Marvin was panting and looked demoralised a right had shook him up.the commentator didn't acknowledge it.Hagler being the true champion he was regained composure and gave Duran a boxing lesson the last two rounds to take it by a point

    it really shouldnt have been a hard fight for Marvin..

    I dont believe that skill played a part at this point in Hagler's career as he had been tested early in his career and by early I mean by his first three years at pro, and everything else he simply advanced

    so nothing that Duran threw at Marv was going to take him by surprise. that is simply feeding into fables concocted by the press

    IMO, MMH took the wrong approach. had it been a more serious threat like Hamsho or Hearns, you would see Marv go into higher gears even up to an all out assault in which even Monzon would fall

    I'd disagree Duran was different to anything Hagler had seen.just the psychological job he did.u can't compare a crude one dimensional brawler like hamsho to Duran.

    Hagler with his superior abilities and skills =he could do it all, had seemingly seen it all before he even won the title.....but Duran...man he was unique

    What rounds would you say Duran hurt Hagler "bad" in?
