    A good article on Hagler vs. Leonard. Punch stats, and the ebb and flow of the fight.

    I still think Leonard won it, 7-5 or 7-4-1. Hagler just blew it losing 3 or 4 of the first 4 rounds, and letting Leonard steal a round or two late.

    Essentially Leonard out thought Hagler, and used his defense and accuracy to outland him.

    Leonard began to tire in round 12. Had this one been 15, the ending would have been a true classic with Hagler likely coming on late. Ah, but Leonard out negotiated Hagler, picking the ring size and limiting the rounds to 12 in exchange to letting Hagler have a bigger share of the money.
