Because it was one great round, followed by Hagler kicking Hearns's ass and fighting the cut more so than a damaged Hearns, whose legs went spaghetti in one round. That's not to say it wasn't a great fight, it was, but it would be lucky to crack my top 20-25 list of fights I've seen in full.
ok but that first round was perhaps the best round ever in boxing along with corrales -castillo agreed?
It's one of the greatest rounds, but it's too hard for me to pick just one. Hagler-Hearns round 1 Saad-Lopez II round 8 Corrales-Castillo I round 10 Garza-Mesa round 1 And some really wild, ugly rounds: Shavers-Williams round 10 Foreman-Lyle round 4 Dempsey-Firpo round 1
