    1 - Fix
    2 - Hagler won, but it was close.
    3 - Horrible stoppage, Steele should of known the 10sec mark was hit and let Taylor reach the bell. I've never felt as sorry for a fighter as in this fight.
    4 - I'm pretty certain it wasn't water, but I honestly don't know what the hell it could of been that would of taken effect quickly enough to make any kind of difference in the fight.

    About 6 months after the Arguello-Pryor bottle controversy,
    Panama Lewis, Aaron Pyor's trainer who mixed that bottle he asked for,....Panama is removing the paddings from the gloves of one of his fighters.
    This is just 6 nonths after Panama worked Pryor's corner in his fight with Arguello!!!!
    Panama Lewis was tried, convicted, and banned from boxing for life!

    I can just imagine the other atrocities Panama Lewis did while in the corner to favor his fighter.

    I dont need any more proof than that.
    Something other than Water, and to the benefit of Aaron Pryor was in that bottle that was'nt water.
    ......and I'd be suprised if Panama did'nt take out some of the padding of Aarron Pryor's gloves also.......

    The black bottle incident is the one thing that transpired in boxing that can still get my blood to boil.

    Everytime I see a video tape of Alexis Arguello pinned against the ropes late in that fight, I get sick to my stomach thinking Arguello was deprived of a fair chance at it!

    Maybe its because it happened to such a nice gentleman like Arguello, but I have'nt let that one go!!!!:fire

    If that went to court Panama would lose on character reference alone.

    The HBO cameras caught Panama Lewis using the black bottle as early as the 2nd round.
    Its likely that whatever was in that bottle was also given to Pryor well before they even stepped in the ring.
    It turns out that Pryor was never given a urine analysis before or after the fight!

    :smoke SONNEY layed down ! HAGLER should have won ! CHAVEV had TAYLER out within the time of the fight so the stoppage was legit ! No question the black bottle had something in it !:deal

    1. No fix It was a quick unexpicted knockdown and bad refreeing.

    2. I watched this about a year or two ago and scored it 115-113 for Leonard

    3. Taylor deserved the win, but That's not the ref's job. The ref's job is to make sure the safty of the fighters is protected. Given the informition Richard Steel had he did the right thing.

    4. I realy don't know but his trainer asking for the blak bottle the one he mixed makes me thing something is not right.

    1. Was Ali vs Liston II a fix, was the KO blow legit?

    I agree. It wasn't a fix, the knockdown was legit, and Liston just gave up.

    2. SRL vs Marvin Hagler- Who won?

    Leonard.

    3. Meldrick Taylor vs Chavez- Should the fight have been stopped?

    It was a good stoppage, the ref didn't know how much time there was left.

    4. Arron Pryor vs Arguello I- Did Pryor cheat?

    I'm gonna say...yes.

    1. ali beat him
    2. leonard won
    3. horrible stoppage, one of the worst ever
    4. no proof he did cheat, but the actions and reputation of pryor's trainer are enough proof to believe he did.
