    can the marvelous man turn the hurricane into a small rainshower instead of the hurricane that he was?

    Yes, he will. Rubin will put up a fight but Hagler will break him down.

    Ron Lipton said that Hagler mentioned that he respected Carter's power...Hagler could go nose to nose with Carter, but I'd look for Hagler to win behind that dominant right jab and movement. Hagler at his peak was a very versatile fighter...He takes a clear decision and has Carter in serious trouble on more than one occasion.

    Carter was strong as a bull but from what I've heard he could get easily frustrated. I think Hagler boxes his ears off and takes a mid rounds TKO win.
