Bad example. Hagler was slightly past his best but Leonard was inactive for 5 years, had a bad eye and jumped to weigh classes to fight Hagler. There was nothing brave about Hagler's performance, he was quite stupid to give away the early rounds and he didn't use his physical advantages well enough.
wayne Mccullough v Oscar Larios It was unbelievable the number of power shots Mccullough took/walked through in that fight. It was the one occasion where a fighter doesnt look hurt or doesnt have a bad cut but I still agreed with pulling him out of the fight. Taking the shots he did cant be good for you, end of
Tyson V McBride???????? Are you for real? Tyson kept trying to break his arm and heat butt him (which is difficult when your opponent is 6'6).
I agree that it was a hellacious beatdown, but Penalosa was still good here. He was robbed against Eric Morel in his next fight and in the two years previous had KO'd Jhonny Gonzalez and was robbed against Ponce De Leon.
