Barkley on Hearns power "It was'nt what I thought it was"

What round was it? I would like to review it.

 

GreatA, are you one and the same as the GreatA that posts on youtube boxing clips ?

end of round 5.

 

Iagree that sometimes the knockouts just dont come i thought he had lost some power back when ernie singeltary,luigi minchillo,and murray sutherland weregoing the distance but then he turns around and knocks out duran,jamesshuler and hurt hagler.make no mistake even at middleweight he was a big time puncher. I dont agree that he wasnt a big middle ,i think he was big and didnt even look small at lh and cruiser.although thats around when his power dropped but he still hit hard at lh just ask andries and maynard.

 

Agreed, that is the most I've ever seen Hagler be hurt. Still, his survival skills were as good as any, and Hart is supposedly one of the biggest punchers in the divisions history.

 

Another guy that stunned hagler was roldan,from what i remember he should have been credited with a knockdown

 

I have seen a few, good work.

thumbsup:thumbsup

 

he was credited with a knockdown...flash kd in the first round

 

Although according to Hagler, and one or two other sources, the WBC (I think) reversed the KD decision.

 

Thanks. It's always hard to tell with Hagler but it does seem like he was a bit stunned there.

I don't think Roldan knocked him down legit but he did land some big punches on Hagler which didn't seem to affect him though.

 

If you watch the hook from Hart a few times, it's a ferocious punch. It's so quick you can actually miss how much of a great punch it was. Full leverage and landed flush on Hagler's cheek. Still, a few seconds later Hagler had the presence of mind to push Hart off and stroll back to his corner seemingly unfazed. Pretty remarkable.

 

You gotta remember that Hearns was a welterweight.

Hagler & Barkley were natural middleweights.

 

The Roldan KD was behind the head & Hagler appeared more off balance than anything. He looked in disbelief when the count was put on him.
