Marvin Hagler vs. Sugar Ray Leonard: Who Won?

Oh Good Lord. atsch

 

Hagler lost if by boxing southpaw for the first 4 rounds. I always have SRL winning by 1-2 rounds. could of been a lot different if marvin never got cute early

 

Very close fight IMO

Thin i might've had a draw

I'm sure i scored it in that thread

 

7-5 Leonard close but clear

 

hagler

 

Leonard 115-114 for me, and I'm a Hagler fan

 

That league got so out of hand but good on him for even updating it once, I would neevr have the patience to do it

 

I had Leonard winning a close fight.

 

Yeah tbh he was only guy that followed through and helped so i give him major props he's a top fella. Don't get me wrong the others that said they would help probs would but he got stuck in but i knew it was getting out of hand when he said he's gonna do it next day and then thread aint been touched for good month .

 

I thought Hagler dominated from round 13 onwards and was unlucky not to get the decision :deal

 

leonard won simple .

 

The reason Marvin boxed out of the right hand stance is because he thought Ray Leonard had an answer for it as he kept saying in pre-fight interviews. Hagler thought since Leonard was training for a southpaw all that time a change in stance would disrupt his gameplan and throw him off. It was brillient mindgames on Ray Leonard's part and Marvin fell for it.

The reason Hagler came out slow and tentative was because he wanted first to prove he could beat Leonard in different ways and secondly because he wanted to have a big reserve in the tank for the championship rounds. You see, in the 80's Ray Leonard's stamina was legendary. Leonard always finished like a crazy man, everybody knew this and so did Hagler. Look at his big fights with Hearns, Benitez and even the first Duran fight. Unfortunately for Marvin Hagler it cost him his title and by the time he changed up it was too late and he was falling short and missing for the most part.

 

I would love to say otherwise but Leonard won the fight.

Hagler gave away the early rounds by fighting orthadox, the second half of the fight was more even but Leonard still took a couple of them. Can't remember exact scores would need to watch again but Leonard by at least 2 rounds.

 

Leonard won the fight 7 rounds to 5,have watched it atleast 5 or 6 times,Leonard 7 rounds to 5 everytime..
