    You mean a jar or a vase?

    I thought it was actually painted on the wall of a person's house that was excavated from the archaeological dig in Santorini.

    Ray Leonard, by my estimation, hurt or landed solid clean shots on hagler prolly around 5x...Everything else were jabs that barely scraped hagler or well timed flurries that had no effect on hagler.

    I will say Hagler's performance vs leonard was bad, by his standards. He looked slower, far less accurate than usual, and should've been able to KO a sugar ray who was tired during many rounds of the fight. HOWEVER, Leonard CLEARLY won only 2 rounds of the fight...There were a lot of close rounds that coulda gone either way and Hagler prolly had 4-5 rounds he won easily. From my estimation, Hagler should've won a clear decision. However, I could see people scoring the fight for leonard (particularly because he performed far better than expected and marvin performed far worse than expected)

    I voted `draw` because I find there to be nothing between them that night & its also a very hard fight to score.

    2 things for sure.... it wasnt a robbery as it was far too close & the wide scores were wrong.

    Whitaker simply didnt do enough offensively & DLH wasnt effective enough with his own offence.

    Neither man deserved the verdict IMO.

    I think the Whitaker of the Chavez fight or McGirt rematch takes a 7-5 victory vs DLH tho... just my opinion.
