Finally, an honest evaluation of Hagler leonard scoring.

Marvin Hagler and his team has no one to blame but themselves for that loss. They had to know the only way Leonard had any chance to win that fight is the way he won it. Of course Leonard would stick, flurry and move. Of course he was going to attempt to get the crowd on his side. Hagler and his team had to know that going in. Hagler I'm sure knew he was going to be in chase mode all night. Why he didn't come out and press Leonard, make him use those legs that had been on the shelf for nearly 5yrs EARLY in the fight , attack Leonard's body early, and aggressively help tire those legs . That's all on Hagler and his team. They were pro's for years before that night in Vegas , and any casual fan could've told them the only way Leonard could win. Why Hagler came out passive and boxing from a distance is the question he has to look in the mirror and deal with. What happened to his Motto of" destruct and destroy ".

 

We score fights with judges at the time, not with slow motion action years later. You know that. Whether you have some slow motion action, it does not judge how effective the punch was. I remember Ray hit Marvin with a right on the top of his head and he was punching hard and sharp.

 

Given the result was a SRL win i'm pretty sure he can accept it

Bringing it up on a consistent basis 30+ years later would be not accepting it.

Weekend leave from the looney bin must be nearly over again?

I must say that not posting much has had a positive effect for you - look how many you reeled in on this one!!!

A job well done.

 

The fight was too close for anyone to claim a robbery.I gave it to Leonard by one round but would have no problem with anyone scoring it the opposite. Your anti Leonard bias is well documented here R R, so I don't think you will be getting much change out of this thread!

 

I generally favor artorias over compubox only because compubox is so flawed and inaccurate but they were bias toward Hagler in this one. They don't realize that punches landed with one hand whilst holding with the other do not count. They were also too dismissive of Leonard's slaps. There were a few legitimate punches from Leonard that they totally ignored but none from Hagler. A lot of those rds were very close according to their punch stats. If I bothered to do a slow-mo myself I think I would come up with different stats to these guys. There's no one gonna tell me Leonard only won 2 rds in this fight.

 

I was rooting for Hagler actually,I repeat the fight was close ,close enough to have gone either way,nobody won anything like 10 rounds!

 

No, it's not a fact.

What if a guy made a similar video and had Ray winning?

You've already been notified of how certain things were interpreted and missed.

There is no proof.

There's only the opinion of whoever made the video.

This happened 32 years ago.

You really need some professional help.

 

Well when you LEARN to accept it I wouldn't need to repeat it . But your right, why do I continue to repeat that with you. Obvious you don't get it. Maybe you have a learning disability?
